Playboy urged to withdraw video

THE attempts of "Playboy" publisher Hugh Hefner to cash in on the benefits of naked yoga outraged Hindu leaders, who say that the porn king had exposed the practice for "mercantile greed."

As far as I know no one has found all 26 letters in the clouds before.’It has to be said some of the letters are not exactly crystal clear.
