I guess God needed someone to arrange a girl-on-girl pissing pictorial.



Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione dead at 79 (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/7256535.html)



PLANO, Texas — Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione (goo-chi-OHN-nee) has died in a suburban Dallas hospital at age 79.

A statement issued by the Guccione family says he died Wednesday at Plano Specialty Hospital in Plano after a long battle with cancer.

The Brooklyn, N.Y.-born Guccione introduced Penthouse to the American public in 1969, at the height of the feminist movement and the sexual revolution.

The adult publication billed itself as "the magazine of sex, politics and protest," and quickly challenged Playboy magazine by offering a mix of tabloid journalism and provocative photography.

Guccione had estimated the magazine earned $4 billion during his reign as publisher, although he lost much of his personal fortune on bad investments and risky ventures.

Love the headline, and I bet Bob himself would have laughed at it. It's perfect.

An old copy of Penthouse was the first porn I jacked to, so you'll always have my undying gratitude, Mr. Guccione. RIP.

There's Penthouse tradition in my family. When I was young, I stole my dad's Penthouse mags. Years later, I bought some old copies of the same ones I had back then. My son proceeded to steal those from me!

That's a big Russian muff. In the late 70's and early 80's, we Americans still thought Russian women were all ugly.

Speaking of big muff...Here's a link to the most famous Penthouse pic set, the Vanessa Williams pics that ended her reign as Miss America.

I would put a "NSFW" tag on this, but if you're stupid enough to open a link to Penthouse pics at work, fuck you, you probably should get fired anyway.

God bless Larry Flint!

My favorite Pet from that era was Corrine Alphen. She was the only woman to be a Pet something like four times. She later married Ken Wahl, and was the hot chick in the movie Spring Break.
