Some life

RIP. Fair play to him, he created some empire. If there is anyone who deserves to have his 72 virgins in the afterlife, it's Hugh.

Does he get buried in his housecoat?

There will be a memorial circle jerk at central bank tonight at seven - tissues will be provided!

We expect everyone to come...

If anyone deserves a second coming, its Hugh Hefner.

He was a fair age. I guess men with multiple wives live longer.

Radio said he died surrounded by loved ones. I can only imagine.

Good man Hugh.

Obviously the passing of someone is sad, but I don’t get the love-in for him. He was a pornographer, and a classic dirty old man. The much vaunted mansion was/is meant to a squalid kip, and the whole image around the man seems like a carefully crafted marketing exercise to normalise his trade.

Creepy oul fella love-in.

i can't help thinking of this gag....:pac:

Yes he was a pornographer, but he was also a pioneer, not just of showing nude women but of publishing interviews and articles with social, political and artistic people of a very significant time in history, particularly in the USA. Interviews with people who had something to say, were worth listening to and not the sanitised pap on offer today from the talentless nobodies who are served up to us as "celebs"

The joke, "I only read it for the editorial" was a knowing one about the nudity, (in a time of great censorship comparatively) but also had a lot of truth in it because Hefner would interview genuinely interesting people of the time, musicians, artists, political activists, social commentators, sports people etc.

I get that it became more creepy as this old man was still surrounding himself with bikini attired ladies, but Playboy was revolutionary in the publishing world and pushed back a lot of boundaries, good or bad everyone can judge for themselves. But he wasn't just a "creepy old man" or just a "pornographer" if you look at his early work.

RIP Hef

i think heaven will be Hugh's idea of hell....surrounded by boring ol'dogooders

All a bit confusing. I thought we weren't supposed to lionize dirty old men in smoking jackets that expect their female employees to sleep with them.

I've no particular axe to grind with him, his customers or the porn industry but all the breathless validictions about him being a 60s icon kick starting sexual emancipation and interviewing Miles Davis is a bit rich.

He was the owner of a titty mag, not Tom Wolfe.

He did die at the right time though as I can see his passing igniting wars all over the internet between Broskis and The Feminazis.

bnt

OP, if you're going to start a thread on the guy, at least try to spell his freaking name correctly. Names use capital letters too.

As a woman....

Do all the people screeching realise that they are doing even more damage to women, by taking away their right to decide how they want to live their life, and with whomever they chose?

So if that's with a 91 year old man who puts their picture in a magazine so be it!
Fair play to them doing what they want.


Can the activists really not see the irony?

Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S.Thompson,... all wrote for it at one point in time I believe.

I genuinely don't think they do.

The freedoms we enjoy today, the choices we have available as to the type of jobs we do and the lives we lead the extent of our progress and even who we have as friends and neighbours is in a small way thanks to the doors that Hefner pushed through. Yes he used naked bodies to wedge open the door, but firstly, he never forced anyone to buy the magazine, the sales figures kept rising and secondly what he printed was ground breaking at the time


If you think Im exaggerating, go google a list who Playboy magazine interviewed in the 60's & 70's. Consider that list in terms of the ones you've never heard of and why they might have been a person of interest at the time. Let alone the names that do stand out to you.

Also consider the topics that were discussed in panel form in the magazine, politics, civil rights, religion, homosexuality, sexual politics, drug usage, social injustice, racism etc.

All at a time where these topics weren't discussed, they were attacked as dangerous and subversive. Interviewing the proponents was communistic and brought threats of legal challenge and physical threat. The views of Malcolm X, Fidel Castro, Timothy Leary, Lech Walesa, Sergio Ramirez, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross being discussed was unheard of.

Somewhere, probably in the publication war with Larry Flynt of Hustler, Playboy did lose sight of its own history and values and yes it became the sordid magazine on the top shelf that its cool now to sneer at in pursuit of the global brand and associated wealth.

But any study of social history in America (and all the stuff that has bled into our own culture and that of the UK) and Hefner is there, banging the drum, advancing on the establishment, daring to say the unsayable, daring to print the unspeakable and sharing it, so that once the orgasm was over you would have something worthwhile to read, something that wasn't mainstream, wasn't something you'd read elsewhere and was challenging the status quo.

Activists just care about their own publicity trip.. they really don't care who they have to walk over to become 'heard'. I've rarely seen an activist that understood or appreciated any stance/idea different from their own. :rolleyes:
