Well they sure can't attack the message. Well as far as I know the message hasn't been out yet. Are you telling us that you too are a subscriber to Hustler and already know what the story is? Typical of the weenies on this thread, want to prejudge, unless of course you've already seen the report. Is there a point other than there are two union aholes in your state? I already knew that. I'll bet we have at least two here in California. OK, so now we know that you are a Hustler subscribing union member. <G> Max

pezz, Its a lot harder to demonize Flynt since that Milos Forman movie. I can see why the feminists were upset about it... it made Flynt look like a good guy and devoted husband or something which he is not. Flynts lifestyle was solely responsible for her death (not that she was an angel mind you but irrespective of that, shes dead in many ways due to him). There really wasnt anything in that movie that alluded to the violence that hustler promotes, Forman just made it seem like it was mere taste. Also, the choice of Woody Harrelson wasnt really an accurate depiction because he looks like an All American boy (Ill always remember him for White Men cant Jump). They should have had a sleazy actor - I dont know who, the kind of people Quentin Tarantino casts would have been good. In the movie I remember they made a big deal about Hustlers depictions of storybook characters in their cartoons but that was never the focus of the criticism against Hustler - it was the violence and justifyably so. One odd thing about him though is he seems to delve into tabloid journalism from time to time and this is just another case of that. He had something on DeLorean if I recall didnt he? Michelle
