Hugh Hefner: Playboy magazine founder dies aged 91

Playboy Enterprises Inc said he passed away peacefully at home in Los Angeles, from natural causes. What's the betting he died with a huge smile on his face ;)

It's all gone tits up for him ...

Seriously I think he deserves a lot of respect, rather than objectifying women as some would acuse him, he helped break down taboos and promote women as having their own sexual identity, having control as opposed to being at the beck and call of men.

People tend to forget that despite it's salacious image, Playboy had a good reputation for serious journalism; some of its interviews won awards.

Hefner bought the crypt next to Monroe's for a reported $75,000 in 1992 —

"Jay Leno suggested that if I was going to spend that kind of money, I should actually be on top of her," Hefner said. "But to me there's something rather poetic in the fact that we'll be buried in the same place.

Clever marketing. Respectable people could buy the magazine on the pretext they were interested in the articles when all they really wanted to do was look at pictures of naked women.

I have a few copies of Mayfair from the mid seventies concealed in the workshop. Apart from the pussy, there are very interesting articles on things like the Chrysler Airflow, Vintage aircraft and a 1920s wood built speedboat.

I need them for constant reference....of course. (or coarse ).

I don't think those who've suffered at the hands of IS and similar minded ilk would tend to agree with you.....:-)

I don't think so. They were offered a role which they could only get, and then keep, if men approved of their appearance.

Hardly emancipation.

Could be that he was just shagged out.

At least it should reduce the number of terrorist incidents. Not much chance of a suicide bomber getting his 72 virgins if Heffner is already up there.

Even if Hefner had only lived to 89 or 90, I'm sure he would still have had a big smile on his face.....:-)

Women are natural exhibitionists - they've been that way since Eve turned up...

I'm not sure this is true but Hefner slept with a bunny before a picture was taken.

Quite a few men have slept with a bunny boiler at some point in their lives.
