Alright
I would say he's in a better place, but I know for a fact that's a lie.
Why exactly? Everybody say the same thing and I dont know this guy lmao
He's a motherfucking Playboy King, mate.
He had a couple ladies(sorry, playmates) over the years, so to speak.
Thankfully he didn't live too long to see his magazine go full shit.
Probably what happened.
/s
I didn't want to say anything but, hell, anyone, especially Hugh Hefner, deserves better than a shitty memorial thread like this. It's amazing how much people are disrespecting his memory based on his reputation as a playboy. He was a person, and he was one who did many good things that were overshadowed by his image. He might've been an old perv, but he was a decent guy.
And that's great, it's all well and good, but he also made a living out of exploiting women and the jokes made about his death are understandable. I find it odd how, in this country, a womanizing playboy (pun intended) is now being commemorated because he supported civil rights.
[Mod edit: No politics; removed some of the political parts of this post]
Just a reminder that we are currently trying to avoid political discussions here.
His magazine gave me erections so I'd count that lol
I just hate how people make a joke out of this poor old guy casue he runs playboy Anyway playboys gone to shit I saw a cover for one and a anime girl was on it like wtf? I am sure hugh hefner made the best old ones.
I don't think that means he doesn't deserve commemoration.
Sounds like he had done far more good than harm during his life.
People always make jokes over serious matters unless it becomes personal then it's not as funny anymore.
Again, it's great that he did, no one is arguing that part of his legacy and sure he does deserve commemoration. But here are the things wrong with that:
Lol. Why would you get banned again
Was there an octopus too?
Well seems everyone tends to just remember sexual related careers anyhow for popular people or even people known personally. Sexualized ads and people affiliated with them sticks out to folks and people also tend to remember negative aspects of people either longer and quicker. Can have the greatest teacher on Earth but if she use to be a stripper to help pay through graduate school then folks will never forget that of course and maybe even bring it up in her face in spite of her degree or two in science and mathematics. But that's just an example
Also it isn't likely that man's fault that people disagree with his passions and career pursuits if it's not a widely illegal career like drug dealers/prostitution. He chose what he wanted to do with his life and company. With it apparently being legal..Who's really to judge his character based on that? The man liked women and their appearance he wouldn't be the first and only. In addition no one likely forced those females to show themselves in his magazines or shows. I'm sure it was likely consensual. Also no one is perfect and likely all have vices or skeletons in the closet of sorts but doesn't have to make one wicked or a vile human being. If not then cast the first stone.
I don't recall myself (maybe someone else) insinuating that he's been on par or a better civil rights advocate than any of those history legends but he seemed to have his mind in the right place when it came to fairness and equality.. Which I think was The main point that the previous user was getting at I believe. It is that this man had done some good in this world and Bottom line the man probably deserves a bit more respect than most show solely because of his company name because he's still was decent human being (probably) from what ever available information can be gathered about his legacy.
Metallica, I didn't mean to start an argument or political debate. I wasn't putting Hugh Hefner on a golden pedestal or anything, I was just saying he deserves more than people insinuating online that he's probably in Hell and his death meant nothing. It's cruel. I am in no way comparing him to historic civil rights advocates, either - I was just trying to point out the good things he did so people would stop being so disrespectful because of his reputation.
Special thank you to @Ladariel for explaining everything, I couldn't have said it better myself!
If you're referring to the "I would say he's in a better place, but I know for a fact that's a lie." then I don't think people were insinuating that he was in hell. I think the joke is that no place could compare to his life. Being anywhere else including heaven would be a down-grade, basically.
Exactly. The dude was pretty much living every single guy’s fantasy for decades, his heaven was right here on Earth, I doubt anything the afterlife can offer him is anywhere close to what he had. Remember that weird phase Charlie Sheen went through years ago where he was “winning” and he had “tiger blood,” that was pretty much Hugh Hefner’s life every day (although in later years, I’d imagine cocaine got switched with some Viagra).
No.
a hero to many
Great show.
RIP, you where a great man, the world would be a shithole without your help, you've help so many people it's unbelievable, it's a real shame you not getting the love and respect you deserve but when someone like George Michael dies the whole world stops to cry, anyway RIP playboy a hero to many.
He was a creepy, stunted old man. Women were accessories to him - like his swanky pad, cars and other material things. His whole shtick was about guiltless sex for men - sex outside of marriage - pretty sure it wasn't sexual equality. Plus the kind of ideal of beauty for women (with all those silicone fake boobs) he perpetuated was hardly a positive contribution to society. Why is the objectification of women a thing to celebrate, and what difference does it make that he objectified equally women of all races? Sure he did a few good things (promote marriage equality)... but let's not forget the entirety of who he was.
Brett Ratner is directing a biopic of Hugh Hefner with Jared Leto playing Hugh Hefner.
Brett Ratner’s also rebooting Hefner’s talk show.
Figured this is where that news belonged.
