Which guy wouldn’t kill to be in Hugh Hefner’s shoes for just a night (or two)…? GOD DAMN! That dude gets more action in one weekend than I’ll probably get in my entire lifetime. Bastard.

I am not here to provide excuses about the company recent performance, PEI, but your points are off target if not misleading. Yes, the company lost 150 million in the forth quarter 2008 but that's due to a one-time non-cash loss its an impairment that's due to GAAP (accounting rules) and must be recognized. No one has stepped up to the plate to offer $300 million - hmmm, you really don't know for certain do you. As for the ranking on Alexa (really), if you use Alexa you must know it has some big holes and if you are in the media industry you should know that's not exactly a technical authority. I will say that I have no idea what you did but that Playboy has many, many, many websites not sure using their US free website means anything. Finally you mention something that is as novel as a telephone modem, basically that free T&A; is eating into the company's profits or put more generic prose - the internet is killing traditional media, as in this case magazines. I do not disagree on the last comment (does anyone) but in all these points you make even if true what does an impairment loss, the recession or the internet revolution reflect or have anything to do with the man Hef? Seriously, if you want to look at Hef and his involvement look at the magazine it still is the number one mens magazine in the U.S.(ABC look it up). His show the GND is the number one show on the E channel. Hef has a book and a movie that are currently being developed by third parties on his life and Playboy and finally he just did a commercial for Guitar Hero. So while it may be true that the guy is not what he was 20 years ago or 40 years ago he is still very relevant today. Also if we are talking about just the adult entertainment industry there is no other company that can compete with Playboy but that's a separate issue. Finally regardless of what I wrote above the company's brand is extremely diminished without Hef because Hef is the genius behind this company past, present and future.
According to The Inflation Calculator, that $1,000 would be worth $7962.31, today. Hey Caitie!, if I give you that $3.50 I owe you, can I borrow 8K? You serve as Publisher, I'll be Editor-in-chief.http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif
the 2 on his left & one on his right are his "bedmates" or what....at 85 yrs old he says his best buddy is viagra..OOOK,,,,wonder just how much his little girltoyz are getting in "play money" every month? and the circular bed..roll over sweetie,,,NEXT!
founded in 1953 on a loan of $1,000 from his mom?? WTF? 1953 to today, a 46 year run, not bad, not bad at all
little after thought,,Hefner with a small change becomes Heffer, female bovine kept for breeding hummmmmm
lol well obviously that was slightly dramatic! but i do think its stupid that she ruined them!
"i was so depressed when i found out"
wow...the world must be perfect in your eyes if thats what got you so depressed.
When I become ruler of the world, I will ban breast implants unless there is a special case, but it would have to be approved by me.
I know, i was so depressed when i found out. It sucks. Why ruin something perfect like that?!!!
It must be in the playboy contract or something. I fucking hate implants. Man can never create anything better or more beautiful than mother nature.
I just have to say...
I can't believe my most favourite playmate, Sara Jean Underwood has had breast implants. I'm so sad because she had the best boobs ever. I believe somebody jealous of her convinced her to get them done!
and many a young boy have taken the mag out to the wood shed, but today that wood shed is located in front of the computer screen and it is not playing playboy.
ROFLOL!! Dude you're killin' me, over here!! http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif
But the pajama act is getting old.
Great pun.
Yes everyone knows his daughter took over the reins years ago, and now she has stepped down herself. Your right that playboy is a global brand that every knows and that should tell you something. Why hasn't anyone stepped up to the plate and offered the 300 million he wants for the empire that is currently worth around 100 million. Yes we are in a global recession and many companies are in trouble, but playboy has a double whammy against it. The recession and the internet. The face of the empire , the magazine, has become irelivant. like many of the nations major newspapers that have closed print and are only on the net, so to will become the fate of playboy mag. However, despite decling circulation for many years now, a lose of 150 million in the fourth quarter in 2008,despite the top show on E big deal, the empire has dropped the ball on its own website as well. Alexa (internet ranking) puts it at #701 in the US for websites, while there are 8 other adult sites that are in the top 100 and far yonger brands. The playboy brand simply can't compete in the adult entertainment that is so easily available on the net. Not to mention most of it makes playboy look like soft porn. Unless major changes are made playboy will die. Don't get me wrong they have had a great run and many a young boy have taken the mag out to the wood shed, but today that wood shed is located in front of the computer screen and it is not playing playboy. The empire was in decline before the recession and will continue to decline after. So yes Heff wants to sell it before it is worthless. Problem is nobody wants it because they can see the writing on the wall. As far as the man himself, I admire him and wish I was him in the day, But the pajama act is getting old.
Wow how original. Doesn't the man or anyone have the right to date, marry or associate with anyone he chooses including blonds. At one time he had a predilection toward brunettes - so what. What ever a man fancies as long as its legal is their prerogative. Also you do realize Hef (b/t/w not HEFF) is NOT a public official so save your moral indignation for someone else.
As for the company that Hef is a controlling shareholder in - it is not on the verge of being sold unless of course you want to regurgitate old rumors. However if it was it's because the stock price is extremely depressed and hence undervalued like many publicly traded corporations. Any discussion or rumors on PEI being sold is due to the incredible global brand and the willingness of a buyer to pay a significant premium multiple from a its current low stock price. So if you subscribe to this notion that Playboy is irrelevant how do you explain the irony in the value attributable to it based on the rumors that you are rehashing. Also the magazine has never made money on its own - at least not for a very, very long time - the magazine, just like the GND TV show, which by the way is the most popular E television show, is simply a marketing and advertising tool. It extends and maintains the brand for licensing, digital and programing. Finally, on getting the hell out of the way, you may not be aware of this but Hef is not the CEO of Playboy he stepped down a long time ago.
With all do respect to the great HEFF and playboy, his and its time has sadly passed a long time ago. First, it would appear that viagra has caused enough blood lose to the brain that his memory and judgement have been shot. Hef you are aware that cookie cutter blonds are not the only woman on the planet and Marilyn Monroe is dead and no matter how many blonds you chase you will never find her. Second, The playboy image has become so irelivant you allow three no talent dick lickers film a weekly show just to get attention for playboy. Playboy itself is on the verge of being sold because it is hemorrhaging money and only celebrity issues make money. This is because easy internet access to countless porn site that make playboy read like a childs bedtime story book. When the Hiede montag issue is one of your best sellers as of late you know your in trouble. Clearly there was a time when when the Heff and playboy were relivant, but in todays society neither is anything special. Hef there comes a time when all great people must get the hell out of the way, and yours came a long time ago.
Hef is blind as a bat. These girls are as vapid as they can be. Brunettes rule. Occasionally there is a Farah Fawcett that elevates blondes but for the most part...meh.
The one could be wealthy as a fat (ie "plus sized") model, she's a chubster but really beautiful.
look at them whores...nothing like gathering around an ancient cock that is about to decompose...if they werent showing it was hefner, you'd think there was a stud sitting there...shit bitches wont do for money and fame.
Is it just me
or this bimbo clan is getting way out of control
He's so into blonde..Why?
he just wants a meaningless fuck
Karissa and kristina shannon and crystal wanna stick around, because they think afta Hef dies of old age, they will take over the mansion
lmao
Holly had the same plans, why else was she shoving kids in the picture and marriage...but since all the sex prolonged hefs life, she gaveup, at the fear of being dumped..
Sorry guys Holly isn't hot
Kendra however i find pretty
even Bridgett
screw you guys , but i am digging the choppy chick (page2 >picture1 , on the left )
i want to seee MOAR of her, what's her name
beyond mediocre. generic, tedious, banal blondes. the twins are wack as are the other chicks... the brunette is attractive. hugh is 100% culpable for the demise of playboy. his dementia hasn't only effected the magazine, i mean look at his girlfriends. what the hell?
Hef's the man! He is...what 82 and pulling that kind of tail. I don't care if he only rubs his elbows against them or what their reasons are for being with him. I can't imagine anyone who has gotten more pussy or quality pussy then him. BTW, I'll take the three on Hef's left any day!
is Hef even breathing in this picture? i swear the old bastard died in 2002.
he is so fucking out of it and you know none of those girls wants to sit on his old wrinkly dick. they are just there to get on that lame E! show and make a few bucks.
whores.
and for the record - Playboy girls aren't that fucking hot anymore. they are these fucking boring, midwest, corn-fed girls without any personality AND boring bodies...
i'm more into the girls of Swank.
i kid.
i want me a Penthouse girl, but she can't have tit scars, too much room between her tits, and NO STRETCHED OUT PUSSIES.
those are my requests.
cookie cutter plastic blondes the dark haired girl is the best and she's just paasing fair..
Hef is no longer the man IMO playboy isn't what it use to be..
hef isn't as happy as he was when he had holly, kendra, and bridget, they must have bee his favorites
based on the evidence of this skank army, and heidi's past playboy cover, hugh hefner has lost his eyesight
