Hugh Hefner and the First Amendment - What you didn't know about Playboy and didn't bother asking...


This was just tooooo good to ignore! There was a show on CNBC last night where I heard Christie Hefner, who runs Playboy, remark how it was really at some level about our fundamental right to free thought and free speech! Hmm... I think I kinda missed that part of the script... mebbe it was tucked away in some corner of the centerfold!!

Heffie adds his 2 cents in the end, remarking how your freedom in the bedroom is the acid test of a really free society. Well... I'll drink to that!! :)

Which brings us to the oft-repeated though seldom-believed fact that guys actually buy Playboy not just for the amazing women portrayed in the mmm... most honest light for who they really are, shorn of artifice and free from the chains of society (or clothing) but also for their high quality articles that are both informative and entertaining. Scouts honor!

Anyway, at the very least, it makes for a super cool quiz question! Name the award instituted in 1979 "to honor individuals who have made significant contributions in the vital effort to protect and enhance First Amendment rights for Americans."

Two posts in as many days... here's hoping that lasts!!

lol :))
he probably meant free sight (although not as free as a certain half of our fellow beings might want it to be)...

googled this and shockingly it does exist!!

the interesting thing is the name of the award :)) Imagine, if it were rechristened ... the PlayBoy Award for the Courage to Speak out Against the Constitutionality of a School Led Prayer....

:)) If I hadnt read more absurd things in lesser weirdness- expected areas, I'd have assumed that the quote was perhaps either, a tongue-in-the-cheek comment from a wag.. or else ..at best, a fabrication..
:) Alas..:) but at least, in a world going mad over more stupid things like religion, at least, this is, at most, only intellectually insulting...
