He must have been kidding about Hugh Hefner! Please, tell me he was joking! Seeing Hef's name in the same list as Breznev and Walt Disney made me giggle a little.

I saw a documentary called "the bunny years" on A&E though which was very interesting. Apparently in the 50s one of the few ways for women to earn decent money was as a bunny... therefore, some really smart women did it just to get off the ground. Now all these same people are succeeding in business. The first female CEO of a nyse listed company was a former bunny (it was a real estate co, they interviewed her). A very interesting documentary. Glad I never had to be a bunny! LOL.

If you are correct in asserting that Hefner did more damage to women than any man this century, then he certainly belongs on the list.

The bad with the good, or, the good with the bad.....

Actually sandintoes, I think I was the first person to suggest Hefner..... I think he did just about more than anyone to bring porn into the mainstream.

So ultimately I think he made a rather significant "contribution" to the overall culture, doncha think?
