umbertino Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I called Hugh Hefner a pimp, he threatened to sue. But that’s what he was Now that he’s dead, the old sleaze in the Playboy mansion is being spoken of as some kind of liberator of women.

umbertino Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Effusive Hugh Hefner tributes ignore Playboy founder's dark side The man who created Playboy, who has died aged 91, has been remembered as an American icon – but others recall a controlling, emotionally abusive manipulator Molly Redden in New York Friday 29 September 2017 09.32 BST https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/sep/28/hugh-hefner-playboy-founder-91-dark-side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage449 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 When I heard he died all I could picture were the flames around him. Media speaks of him in tones of reverence, how sad. One more indication of the media's moral decay. And yes, I've read the "articles" too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabibilicious Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 All other things aside, it cannot be denied that Hugh Hefner personified "capitalism". He saw an opportunity, raised money and built an American institution. GO RV, then BV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
