R.I.P. Hugh Hefner

[TVC]

[QUOTE 4976461, member: 9609"]what a lot of abuse for having never heard of someone. I have certainly heard of Playboy and Mayfair they were the porn mas of my teenage years, I'm not pretending to be holier-than-thou. Just never heard of him, I don't follow celebrities (or whatever he was)[/QUOTE]
Most pornographers and pimps stay hidden, he flaunted his wealth gained from exploiting women. Still he could have been ignored, if he didn't continually claim that his fiddle mags liberated women. I'm surprised you have never heard of him,

Edit: fiddle, brilliant substitution for the W word I used. Kudos.

"I'm a femanist and sexual liberator... now take of your knickers, and part your knees".

Not someone to be celebrated.

Not even his support for gay marriage, and the money he donated to environmental causes? We are all a strange mix of good and bad attributes.

Sorry if this has already been done in this thread but.... did they manage to get the coffin lid down?

Yebbut we're not all industrial-scale misogynistic sleazebags.

peddled

I think this is one of the rare occasions someone writes peddled on CC and it's actually the correct spelling.

That just came out as, @rich p, on my laptop.

I'm working on the scale aspect, will get back to you.

Oh well, he's in a better place now.

Umm, wait...

He wasn't all bad. He helped out pioneer porn model, Bettie Page, when she was old, after she'd been released from mental hospital.

 

[Yellow Fang]

Not wishing to jump to conclusions, this is good because?

Because she was in a bad way. She'd been in a psychiatric hospital for years after attempting to stab her landlady, and she was poor.

He was also a child pornographer who published nude photos of 10 and 11 year old girls. I suppose the other good thing (apart from the obvious one) about finally getting shot of this abusive creep is that his death might bring all this stuff out into the public conversation again at a time when we are arguably getting into a better place when it comes to understanding historic abuse. I see he went out with a classy misogynistic gesture, having paid a fortune to be buried beside Marilyn Monroe.
