Oh man, I hope the CNIB tells me about this next letter they send.
Also, no way this catches on. I had to use raised pictures all through elementary, and two things; first, it's difficult, and requires much focus. Second, you need two hands. No way the blind are that hard up for imagination.

Blind folks gotta yank it too. I find this to be very progressive.

You'd think after it happened, they'd want to stop.

you heard Fig, reading raised pictures requires two hands.
They're better off with their imagination.

I don't think this is really new. As I understand it, the Library of Congress has had every issue of Playboy in Braille for years for some reason.

Don't you know that yanking will make you go blind?
Oh wait...

Playboy is more of a lifestyle magazine than an actual porn. They have interviews with some of the most powerful people in the world, including Jimmy Carter when he was president. They also have had great short stories and comedy pieces written by people like Shel Silverstein and Steve Martin.

The article said Playboy was only in Braille, though. This has tactile pictures, as well.
