He was a First Amendment freedom fighter, an agent provocateur, and otherwise a pretty despicable human being by most accounts.

- If you're not going to
If you're not going to offend somebody you don't need the First Amendment.
People aren't interested in others controlling what they can do or read or see in the privacy of their own homes.
I will concede to you one thing - 'Hustler' is offensive, even to the point of being iconoclastic. That's our purpose - to be offensive.

he definitely succeeded at the offensive part. He said what he wanted to say....

Easy to take for granted now but Larry was a true trailblazer with big ole' brass balls.
Whenever I was cruising around LA on business and passed his building, I had to wonder what was happening up in his master office, assuming it was far more interesting than my humdrum routine.

I was at an Angels game in Anaheim and had good seats about 15 rows behind home plate. Around the 2nd or 3rd inning, Hugh Hefner was escorted into his front row seats with a couple of his girlfriends. Grown men all around me were standing and bowing to him. It was a surreal L.A. moment .
Flynt, Hefner, Guccione...all the old pornographers are dust.
In this new digital computer age, men controlling the medium is too.
