the man with a plan? for what exactly?

as of the last 10 years penthouse has failed miserably, both online and publication.

it had it's day though.

they were not able to convert their business for the changing times.

sad that dude died, and RIP, but that company was a mess after the 80's early 90's.

I was just thinking as I clicked this thread "Let me guess: cancer"

Sure enough, cancer.

Quote:

Bob Guccione, a seminary school dropout who revolutionized the adult entertainment industry in the late 1960s as the publisher of Penthouse magazine, filling its glossy pages with photographs of nude co-eds in explicitly erotic positions, and selling millions of copies in the process, has died of cancer age 79.

RIP Bob.

He put out a quality product back in the day. Wanked it to his work more times than I can remember, back in the 70's and 80's.

RIP

First time I ever saw a Vagina was in Penthouse when I was like 7 years old.

Shit was so cash.

Penthouse always had the girls that looked like the ones you wish you could take to a concert then have nasty sex with afterwards.... in the parking lot

R.I.P. Bob Guccione

I find it sad that he had so much and then lost it all. He seemed to go downhill after his 3nd wife, the one he ran Penthouse with, died of cancer. It's kind of like he quit caring. From everything I've read about him, he was hell to deal with and that probably had a lot to do with his failure - well, that and the Internet. Both he and Hugh Hefner tried to ignore the Internet but it just didn't work.

Penthouse provided me with quality wanking material for years, until I graduated to hard-core porn. Great pictorials and really hot letters. A quality mag back in the 70s. RIP, Bob.

he did a lot for the industry but he seemed against change towards the end and that did him in

cancer at 79 is not the main problem

The Vanessa Williams/Tracy Lords/Hyapatia Lee issue was a classic.

Too bad it was later discovered that Tracy was only 15 in that photoshoot and that issue is considered child porn now.
