Oh yes the irony, application of their puritan ideals in the real world, usually backfire, sometimes literally... ie Virginity pledges lead to anal sex, says study. Just think without church pushed abstinence programs, porn would have less positions to segway to and from.

Back to the OP for a moment, i think another way of looking at Flynt in this stunt, is that he's a troll of sorts... not your average pointless sophomoric myopic troll we'd all like to push off a cliff... just the opposite, someone who provides a great example in The Virtues of Trolling.

aka "A rebel with a cause"

Thanks GoalPoster... i stand corrected, forgive me for confusing Penthouse for Hustler. Note; you could cut me a little slack, he publishes over 30 different titles. I enjoy the genre but i am no porn connoisseur. If this may keep you up at night, don't fret... i have already made the correction within minutes of your notice. For future reference, next time you want to inform someone of such a harmless mishap, it would show more class and courtesy to the OP and your fellow ATSers to just u2u the OP poster, easy fix. Your proofreading skills are truly appreciated but posting it here is just a waste of a read for everyone, except me. ...or are your motives out of resentment, because i think highly of Flynt? My motive to address this here versus u2u is that i hope this will also server an example for others.

As for those who show a bias against Flynt, you should really suspend your knee-jerk reactions to his chosen profession. If Flynt was was on ATS he would blend right in, and believe it or not most of you would learn to like him. This guy is fearless, there is no subject under the sun he won't speak his mind about. Read a few of
Flynt's thoughts on most of the taboo issues we attempt to address here and you'll see what i mean... and if you aren't impressed with his progressive views and activism for free-speech then you can't deny that he is a brilliant business man.

If you assume the porn biz is a cake walk, consider the amount of competition and repetition.

Point taken.

I shant be bringing any such minor errors to light from this point further as it clearly cheeses people off.

As for my feelings for Larry Flint . . . he's a businessman filling a demand with supply. But, when push comes to shove, people are spending their money on the staples and pushing aside the extras which clearly includes the materials supplied by the porn industry which is why they're feeling the pinch.

I don't think we should entertain a bailout of this or any other industry for that matter as it simply skews the system and tilts it further toward government control.

So, I apologize for what you consider a disrespectful and classless way of brining a correction to light and assure it won't happen again.

Cheers and happy posting.

Larry Flynt is my Hero!
I grew up on Hustler and Barely legal!

Screw the Big 3, but we cant let this industry colapse!
Porn is the Corner Stone of our civilization!

You GO Larry! You rock!
I mean the chicks in you magazines ROCK!

I think if Francis wasnt the spearhead on this I'd feel more inclined to actually play along with Flynns cute little prank.He was smart enough and clever enough to actually hit congress when they deserved to be hit....But I have a problem with Francis.While Flynn is just in my book looking to make a point and have a laugh at the bigwigs expense Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis actually feels some entitlement and in a way for me he ruins the joke flynn so cleverly puts together....Francis as stated above is just a a sleazebag and he shouldn't get a dime edgwise. You know his stuff is so weak....I dont want to see girls taking close off I want to see girls getting....*shifty eyes* look I'm just saying Francis doesnt have any reason to complain, he's getting underage chicks drunk and all to bare all but not do all...lol I guess thats not exactly a bad thing but you know what I mean? DUDE HAS HIS OWN ISLAND!

Yeah well what can I say....how about, the new generation of porn viewers doesn't want to just see naked girls....we aren't content with seductive nudity anymore, we want sex, the act of, all angles, cute girls not old 40 yr veterans. We want the dirty stuff our fore fathers would have blushed at seeing. We want xxx stuff and we want high quality for cheap. Hough was BOUND to run out of Boomers to subscribe....
