So seems as good a time as any to share this.

Is that the best answer you can come up with, Dave? Rather ironic for someone insulting the intelligence of others.

Oh bore off Crowdo.

Go and troll elsewhere.

actual footage of HH referring to Susan Brownmiller as a 'girl

Hugh started fumbling around with his pipe when she called him on that. I bet he had words with his press agent after that one.

I just found this article and it has a video of the actual footage of HH referring to Susan Brownmiller as a 'girl'

Maybe. They used the pics to launch the first issue, didn't they? I might have my facts wrong but I can't be arsed googling it will just depress me.

She wasn't even a playmate, she didn't pose for him did she. It was old photos taken before she was famous.

Well, he bought the plot next to her in 92? I think. She was the first playmate you know, so very special to him. I think it's very sad, seen as a sex symbol and dumb blonde for all eternity and now the final insult.

And now he will be buried under or on top of Monroe

Say what?!

Please tell me that's not true.

xMeowx · 28/09/2017 09:26

Oh well...

Maudlinmaud · 28/09/2017 09:24

I think it's sad when anyone dies.I do. Even this poor excuse for a human. I guess his sons will mourn for him.
But having read up on his behaviour, it really is appalling. I wish the media would say it like it is here. The man was nothing more than a pimp, didn't he drug those girls/women he effectively kept caged in his mansion? There was something really insidious about him. And now he will be buried under or on top of Monroe.

The former bunny in the jungle was kendra. I believe she was yet I g to turn away from all that and just settle down with her kids, I've never believed he was responsible for women's sexual revolution, being generous, he was at best a letch who got away with being a letch in plain sight.

DJBaggySmalls · 28/09/2017 09:08

Farewell Hugh. There was only one of you so we still have that.

TheLegendOfBeans · 28/09/2017 09:08

I'm never on this board but came a-looking when I heard the news: what IS it about Hugh fffking Hefner that seems to send the most intellectual commentators all gooey eyed and reverent?

The man was a peddler of the objectification of women for fucking years and years. His treatment of the "bunnies" was de facto my way or the highway. He wasn't some benevolent master to lost little girls, he was a temperamental demanding shit who would hold the sword of Damocles of expulsion from the life the ladies had become accustomed to unless they catered for his every fucking whim!

I don't know why but there's something about HH and the public attitude towards him thats always made me sick to the back teeth.

pilatesofthecaribbean · 28/09/2017 08:45

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now as someone pointed out on another site - any chance of the celebrities dying in threes rule hitting, say, Roman Polanski and Woody Allen?

Crowdo · 28/09/2017 08:41

Yes, it was evident from your description that she is attractive with a large chest. I don't think it's relevant to mention that when discussing her intelligence. I'm quite sure you know exactly why.

Slartybartfast · 28/09/2017 08:34

I remember when she was talking aobut him in the Jungle and the rest of the Crew were just listening, not saying a word, It is so alien to what life should be

FreshSet · 28/09/2017 08:32

total perv

Elendon · 28/09/2017 08:32

I'm sure I heard Meghan Murphy, Feminist Current, on Radio 4 this morning around 7.20am adding to the discussion.

Horrible creepy man who no more understood feminism than I do rocket science.

I went to school with Nicola Mclean. She is married to a footballer and has two son's named Rocky and Striker.

DavetheCat2001 · 28/09/2017 08:27

I didn't mention what she looked like.

'Stunna' is an old Sun descriptive of a Page 3 girl.

I have no idea what she looks like, I imagine she has large breasts and is probably attractive in the conventional way.

not sure what point you are trying to make?

The whole wearing the bunny tail thing was just beyond wrong too.

There really are no words.

Crowdo · 28/09/2017 08:25

Not sure why you mentioned what she looked like, in that case.
