The Next Hugh Hefner???
 
That show "The Insider" just ran an interview with Penthouse owner Marc Bell calling him the next Hugh Hefner....did anyone see that?

No I did not. I will have to catch it when they rerun it. Thanks for the heads up. :)

No, didn't see it. What were the highlights? There's another guy that seems to be competing for that spot. I'm sure you've shot at his place in Beverly Hills, has a grotto and all and always has a bunch of people over at his place.

There is obviously a big difference between Penthouse and Playboy and for those who have been around long enough will remember when Discover decided to drop adult companies, in favor of only processing for companies who are "family friendly", and you know what one adult company got to keep Discover? Playboy.

So no owner of Penthouse could ever be the next Hugh Hefner. They are two very different markets.

All I know is that the new Penthouse mag runs circles around Playboy.

I don't think Penthouse will ever have the success that Playboy did.

playboy is dying a slow death... when hugh is gone, playboy will follow shortly thereafter... :2 cents:

There's no "next Hugh Hefner". That's like having a second virginity.

Originality can't be duplicated... Is that redundant or what?

WWC 09-19-2008 09:42 PM
There will always and only be 1 Hugh Hefner!

No one can be hugh... He and Flynt are orginals in the biz. Others can live the lifestyle but hugh created it.

If processing Discover Cards on Porn sites makes you Hugh, then I know several hundred little Hugh's running around :)

I think the Discover Card thing was for 3rd party processing, it appears the programs with Merchant accounts can take Discover.

Times change. Playboy is a shadow of its former self.

Marc cannot even come close.

When they start selling Penthouse logos on t-shirts to teen girls, then you can make the comparison.

I don't know why any parents would let their daughters wear this crap, but it probably sells like crazy.
