Yeah, I put this in the SEX forum ....

Flynt launched the pornographic publication in the 1970s, a print extension of his adult clubs of the same name that featured nude hostesses.

Larry Flynt, the controversial publisher who founded “Hustler” magazine, has died at the age of 78.

His daughter Theresa Flynt confirmed to NBC News that she was with her father, alongside his wife, when he died Wednesday morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.

Flynt launched “Hustler” in the 1970s, a print extension of his adult club of the same name that featured nude hostesses. As the pornographic publication grew in popularity, Flynt became the target of critics who called the magazine obscene.

Flynt was shot exiting the Gwinnett County Courthouse in Georgia in 1978, where he was facing trial for distributing obscene materials. The attack left Flynt paralyzed from the waist down, and the judge declared a mistrial.

Joseph Paul Franklin, a serial killer and self-proclaimed white supremacist, claimed he shot Flynt and attorney Gene Reeves, though a shooter was never identified or convicted.

Rev. Jerry Falwell sued Flynt in 1983 after Hustler published a satirical ad claiming Falwell had a drunken incestuous relationship with his mother in an outhouse. The parody was modeled after a real ad campaign for Campari, which included interviews with celebrities.

In what is considered a historic First Amendment case, Flynt appealed all the way to the Supreme Court and won. The justices agreed in a unanimous ruling that parodies of public figures are considered protected forms of speech and that Falwell could not seek damages for emotional distress.

“Were we to hold otherwise, there can be little doubt that political cartoonists and satirists would be subjected to damages awards without any showing that their work falsely defamed its subject,” Chief Justice William Rehnquist wrote in his opinion for the case.

Flynt's corporate empire, consisting of Larry Flynt Publications and Flynt Management Group, had humble roots. In the 1960s he bought out a bar in Dayton, Ohio, where his mother worked and expanded it into a chain of adult clubs he called Hustler.

"Hustler" magazine initially began as a newsletter for his clubs, but grew in popularity and scope into a rival for Playboy magazine. Flynt attained national notoriety, however, after publishing nude photos of former first lady Jacqueline Onassis taken by the paparazzi.

His life has been the subject of films and books, including the 1996 biopic “The People vs. Larry Flynt.” Woody Harrelson was nominated for a 1997 Academy Award for his portrayal of Flynt in the film.

RIP

Years ago I got a lap dance at the Hustler club in Baltimore while I was using a wheelchair with a broken leg.

... with, or without Balor?

Holy shit the perfect set up.

Anyway as all these old guys pass it only reminds us we are close ourselves.

Regardless if we liked Hustler or not. we all enjoyed it at some point.

Except for millennials, most don't get it

I know ...
Is bush in or out nowadays?

I'm going to say, it's about like when we were younger.
One moment in our life a bushy cunt seems appealing, as you get older  sometimes not.  You went through that too.

Is it in or out now days? I would have to say yes.

I think it's more a "hybrid" bush is in ...
I think we're all liking a little hair here and there ...
Just not full-out vajungle ...

... with, or without Balor?

Never actually met him. I think he blocked me on Facebook because I argued with him on one of Mello's posts.

What was the post about? Is she still playing violoncello?

I thought you two broke bodily shit together ....

Nope, never met him.

I started arguing with him over some dumb right-wing talking point he had on abortion I think.

I was wondering about him and a few others recently, with Qanon and 4chan/8chan/8kun and all of that. Just wondering if some of the members ended up over there in that mess since A-S had crossover in the same circles.

I'd think Zoomie might be able to maybe answer that one ...
(I'm not sure though) ...

The only thing I know about QAnon and the rest of that is a quote being credited to John John that I approve of but I haven't been able to verify that source for the saying.
