PLANO, Texas (AP) ― Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione has died in a suburban Dallas hospital at age 79. A statement issued by the Guccione family says he died Wednesday at Plano Specialty Hospital in Plano after a long battle with cancer.

It also gets credit for being among the first to note and highlight those veterans suffering from exposure to Agent Orange.

For what seemed like a long time to me, it was the only place that was willing to cover Agent Orange.

You’ve got to count the one before Barbara Billingsley...they were going up in the car before him. No doubt Guggione is the first of a trio going down.

Yeh-—we should start the judging first with the person in the mirror. I hope he didn’t go to hell and somehow got redeemed by God’s grace before the end. We have ALL sinned and only the blood of Jesus can save any of us if we accept Him.

I am a she-person and although I wish no one ill, it is a happy day when someone who caused great evil in the world is removed from the stage.

Yay! Party hats and confetti! And may Flynt and Hefner joint him! Plus any ACLU guys who helped, and leftist SCOTUS members who voted to legalize porn.

They had some mighty fine pets, if I recall my grade school days.

LOL - I like what Gerald Butler did to the guy who murdered his wife and child in the movie, “Law Abiding Citizen”

I was a charter subscriber to OMNI magazine. I recall one of the young authors they featured was a guy named Orson Scott Card... Great magazine.

BG’s 2nd half of his life was a complete undoing of what his first half built. He owned by far the finest residence on the island of Manhattan, bar none...and lost it in bankruptcy, along with all his assets. He died broke, estranged from his son, and alone.

>> guess nobody around here ever looked at any of these magazines

I remember occasionally reading the articles in Penthouse and Playboy when I was a teenager. They were chock full of interesting facts and were quite useful in writing essays and reports for my high school classes.

The jokes and cartoons were funny too. A little off color perhaps, but funny.

Which is mostly a crock, as I understand it. (google Micheael Fumento, an occasional freeper who has covered the story.)
