LARRY FLYNT'HUSTLER' FOUNDER DEAD AT 78
TMZ ^ | 2-10-21 | TMZ

Posted on 02/10/2021 3:09:56 PM PST by dynachrome

Family sources tell us the mogul passed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles from heart failure.

For nearly 50 years, Flynt's been one of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry. He launched "Hustler" magazine in 1974, which brought him fame and fortune as it skyrocketed in popularity ... and also brought countless legal issues.

Many of these First Amendment battles were chronicled in the Oscar-nominated 1996 film, "The People vs. Larry Flynt," starring Woody Harrelson.

Getty Flynt's magazine and notoriety also led to him being shot in 1978 in a murder attempt by serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin. The shooting left Larry paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, and he suffered from constant pain and other medical issues as a result.

Along with being the name behind the Hustler brand, Flynt's the president of Larry Flynt Publications ... which produces other magazines like "Barely Legal," pornographic videos and Hustler TV.

He also opened the famous Hustler Casino near L.A. in 2000.

There are exceptions to that rule. Flynt is one of those exceptions.

Oh yeah - I know he was anti-Trump.

But it’s curious he didn’t say anything about MeToo or all the cultural purity.

At least one Christian needs to say it: May God have mercy on his soul. Amen.

Not that I necessarily would, but God has ALL the evidence and I don't.

What did you mean by:

“Hef didn’t lose half his spine and who knows what else to a 44 magnum either.”

Or would this be a TMI kind of answer?

Generally, I can find some redeeming characteristic in every human, no matter how vile. With Larry Flynt, I’m drawing a blank. Not only will the world not miss him, it will be a better place without him.

“Disgusting, vile, depraved man”

His magazine was one of the dirtier ones at the time. Today’s internet offerings leave that magazine in the dust. I know because of my extensive research.

Mr. Flynt lasted about as long as the Aunt Jemima brand name.
Be forewarned.
Thing-Fish— Did Al Gore dig this stuff?

“.. the Mammy archetype; the AIDS-like disease in the storyline turns prisoners into “Mammy Nuns” which are round and dress like Aunt Jemima.”

“ Frank Zappa tried to get Hologram stage props so we could afford to do ... checkered napkin material favored by the lady on the ‘Aunt Jemima’ ...”
“Thing-Fish is a music studio album recording by FRANK ZAPPA ... up with a potato for a head, a duck bill for a mouth and wears an Aunt Jemima type dress.”

Snip [”Electric Aunt Jemima” refers to Zappa’s guitar amplifier, equating it with the advertising character Aunt Jemima.]

All of us are as deserving of eternal torment as Larry is and we all have the same capability to do evil acts, the same as he’s done and worse. Who knows his condition and how he got there? Probably nobody other than God himself.

That’s the basis of thou shalt not judge.

You can’t judge a person’s salvation because you’re not knowing of it all. Only God is.

I conversed with an exorcist who stated that when a child is molested, that’s when the demons enter them. What a sad scenario.
