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.
