I said its possible

FFN did make an offer today from what i heard in breaking news on CNBC that was 13% higher than Hef's orig offer of 187M

I missed the segment where CNBC had the CEO of FFN on to discuss the offer but according to CNBC there is a higher offer on the table

gfy is a playboy asset so i can only assume it would go.

Vendzilla · 07-15-2010, 01:15 PM

if they changed too much on GFY, it would kill the board,which is not in the best interest of who ever bought it

i doubt they would change a cash cow like this but non the less i would not do anything that would help put money in aff's pocket

crazytrini85 · 07-15-2010, 01:31 PM

I would leave as would the 8 of my employees who also post here. I don't want anything to do with FFN. Scumbags.

Deej · 07-15-2010, 04:27 PM

Sad, that Playboy is being sold for less than half of What AFF sold for...

In Playboy bidding war, owner of Penthouse tops Hefner offer

FriendFinder Networks Inc., the owner of the Penthouse adult entertainment franchise, has made a proposal to acquire rival Playboy Enterprises Inc. in a deal that FriendFinder valued at $210 million. The move counters a bid made this week by Playboy founder Hugh Hefner to take private the company he founded in 1953 in a deal that would value Playboy at $185 million, or $5.50 a share.

There is another buyer as well, this is a good way to drive up the price

Forest · 07-16-2010, 06:37 AM

Just typed in Playboy in Google and Penthouse is the ONLY sponsored link

Good PR stunt

either Hef is looking to drive the price up for his shares to get out of the stock

or some private equity firm really thinks they can take it private for cheap and make money over the long term on the brand

fatfoo · 07-16-2010, 07:53 AM

Penthouse magazines show more pussy than Playboy magazines.
A paper magazine is better than an online magazine.

who?

i dont see anything anywhere about an additional bidder

Neighbor · 07-16-2010, 09:52 AM

Marc is a smart guy...many great acquisitions in his life. This is a smart strategic move if he gets it...unfortunately it seems Playboy and it's Board are trying to block out any other additional bidders...but a suit has been filed as of today to get things on the up n up

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
