Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine and the subsequent Playboy Enterprises which helped fuel the sexual revolution in the United States, has died. He was 91.
Hefner, often referred to has "Hef", parlayed $8,000 in borrowed money in 1953 to create Playboy, the hot-button media empire renowned for a magazine enriched with naked women and intelligent interviews. | |

18 year old blonde bimboes around the world are sighing relief. . Free speech advocate -good gosh, this maggot set womens lib back 50 years and kick started pornography the worst vice in history. He should be remembered for what he did in society - degraded women to the role of sex objects and male playthings. . Hope he took a fork and a fan where he is going. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

Ditto that sentiment. In fact I don't believe he ever even met Marilyn Monroe; he'd bought and secured rights to her photos from a session photographer SHE MODELED FOR (and was paid). I'd SEEN the guy at several screenings he'd attended for various "arty"/documentary films he'd co sponsored. To simply say he'd degraded women is ludicrous, maybe if you're someone who hasn't read the printed page. I don't know what set his mag far apart from others at the time, (SWANK, CAPER, ROGUE come to mind)* probably staffing and a better editing department. To that end however, some of those women WERE prob dim. ...especially those triplets i saw him with in his later years. Free room and board/publicity with a stipend. It launched many of their careers, and if you don't believe women do that sort of exhibitionism FOR FREE and far more, you're living in ur own make believe world. Ftr: I DO wish stronger role models were presented and women who made significant contributions to the world were more celebrated, but it wasn't necessarily going to happen in his mag.

he made millions objectifying woman... he had an actual harem of women who were to serve as his sexual servants... i hope he found peace.... "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

Sorry . I was a bit harsh - guess being a gay male, his products had no interest for me, but still I guess he was important to 3 or more generations of men who were into pornography. . Plus at least he had a bit of class with Plyaboy, the playmates and smiling naked girls were a huge step above the gonzo porn (3 dicks in 1 chick) and the sleazier magazines like Penthouse, Hustler, Razzle, Juggs, Creamsicle etc. Hefner liked porn but he was hardly tieing women up and making them do shit like Bukkake or anything else. . He should also be seen as one of the leaders of the Sexual Revolution of the 20th century along with names like Dr. Magnus Hisrchfeld (1869 - 1934), Dr Ruth Westenheimer, Alfred Kinsey and Havelock Ellis amongst others. People who made non procreative sex real and normal rather than sleazy, dirty or forbidden in the past. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

I have no great feeling of loss for Hugh Hefner when he continually allowed cartoons like this in his magazine. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

Reminds me of the old "Take a letter Ms Bosom" type cartoons of the 1950s, this looks 60s. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

Porn is a great driver of technology. What were some of the first products of the fangled new printing press? Naughty pamphlets. Why did VHS beat betamax and blu-ray beat HD-DVD in format wars? Yup.

I feel the same way. I will remember him as a misogynist.

Rumor has it, that his latest wife wasn't in the will. Only his 4 kids and some charities. He also sold the mansion several years ago, to be vacated upon his death.

how many racist cartoons have been in his mags? how many rape culture jokes? how many women objectified? how many rapes were committed by its readers? it is weird how some that support porn get all twisted when a woman is treated like a sex object? "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

I am sure most of what he owned was already in the hands of his kids. his wife will likely get a 'small' amount but not much... and she certainly accepted that condition when she got married. But I also predict she will play the victim (and she is) and try to get more. But she is just one of 1000s of women he took advantage of. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |
