Bob Guccione, Proud Purveyor of Fine Filth, Dies
« on: October 21, 2010, 07:41:43 AM »
From Gothamist.com
Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse magazine, widely recognized as having fired the first shot in the "Vulva Wars" against Playboy and one-time owner of "one of the biggest private houses in Manhattan," died yesterday at the age of 79 from throat cancer, which he had been battling for years—the NY Times notes that he "did not drink, smoke or use drugs." Guccione was born in Brooklyn, but was living in Texas at the time of his death.



Everything I ever learned about masturbation, I learned from Bob. I hope for his sake God grades on a curve...

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

We read Playboy for the articles.  Penthouse was for the Forum letters, and Hustler for pure disgusting raunchy comics.

bingo.  the finer points of porn mags are lost on wimmins, I guess. :uhsure: :-)

I always thought the pets were sexier than the playmates.  for years, playboy never could really decide what it was about;  the chicks, social commentary, political analysis, or stereo equipment.  penthouse was always, ALWAYS about the girls.

RIP, Bob Guccione.

um, I wish to state for the record that I totally missed the peeing thing. :uhsure:  my subscriptions changed from magazines like penthouse to national review  in my late 20's . . . or so.    :innocent:

maybe I shoulda checked in on more recent subject matter before I rallied to the support of a skin mag.  :rotf:

Actually, the articles always annoyed me.  Although, occasionally the Playboy interview was interesting.
