Manny Pacquiao to Jinkee: I only look at Playboy for the articles, honest

The Americanization of Manny Pacquiao continues but I don't think wife Jinkee is going to like hearing about, let alone, seeing this one.
Pacman is featured in the November issue of Playboy--what's more American than Hugh Hefner's bunny-themed skin magazine?--and is in the same issue of the pulchritudinous "Girls of the SEC."
(That means comely coeds from the colleges in the Southeastern Conference such as the University of Florida.)
Writer Kevin Cook ventured to the Philippines to hang out with Megamanny and they discuss boxing and politics, including why the fighter refuses to abandon his gritty home base in General Santos City.
As for Pacquiao's better half, I think someone should tell Manny to use the ancient line three generations of American men have used to dispell any notion that they gawk at the nearly naked women in the magazine.
"Honest, honey, I just read it for the articles."
