T.I.T.S. stands for Tactical Insertion TeamS (aka TITS!) The Playboy TITS concept originated during the Vietnam War when Playmates were called upon to perform in a lot of the USO shows. The girls traveled around 'In Country' entertaining troops but what they were really doing was gathering intelligence to report back to theater commanders. The women were trained in hand-to-hand self-defense, small arms, demolition and recon. The Viet Cong never had a clue and ironically, even helped several girls change a tire on their bus once when they got 'lost' on the VC side of town!

Of course like all black ops, the Government never acknowledged the existence of the organization, or that they ever used the Playmates for other than their intended function. Asked to comment years later, former Defense Secretary Robert McNamera said curtly, "It never happened - on paper" then quickly changed the subject of the interview to International Monetary Policy.

In the early 21st Century, however, when the Playmates became involved in their bitter and hard-fought conflict with several rival publications (most notably 'Penthouse') the TITS were reformed and once again sent into combat - this time by Playboy! Like their predecessors, the modern TITS struggles were fought in the shadows and - until now - their exploits were unknown outside the Playboy Mansion!!

Like their namesakes, TITS couldn’t stand without solid support and at Playboy, the Playmates have a vast network in which each member is committed to watching her sister’s backs - for the most part! Unfortunately, as in any organization, there are some more committed to individual glory or monetary gain than in furthering the success of a rival. Some, like Christy Hefner herself, hold high positions in the Playboy empire, while others are still climbing the lowest rungs. But in an outfit with such enormous....um, 'egos' - anyone is vulnerable to being turned to the 'dark side.'

The following story traces the efforts of a nefarious group of “bad girls” as they try to deflate the Playmates' TITS.
