I thought he had died years ago.

Seems there's another thread about this in SOCN for some reason. I too thought he was dead already.

One of Woody Harrelson's best performances.

This Just In: The city of Cincinnati is still trying to file lawsuits against Mr. Flynt before his body is buried. :eh:

The unrated director's cut.

Flynn's contribution to free speech protection was significant.

 

"[Flynt]won a landmark Supreme Court victory over Rev. Jerry Falwell, who sued him for libel over a 1983 Hustler alcohol ad. The court ruled that public figures cannot collect damages for emotional distress caused by a caricature, parody, or satire of the figure that a reasonable person would not believe to be true."

Was that the one about Falwell saying "the first time" was with his mother in an outhouse?

I still remember Flynt battling Hamilton County prosecutor Simon Leis in court. Those of us who lived in the Cincinnati area got nightly reports on Larry Flynt’s adventures. It was a night time soap opera.

 

Being typical teenage boys, my buddies and I were all about getting our hands on Playboy, Penthouse, OUI and any other “girly mags”. Hustler, though, was way too “out there” for me. Most of it was disgusting.

I remember when Jerry Falwell said that he was offended by Hustler because he was a Christian, and Jay Leno said, "Pagans and Druids are offended by Hustler!"

Larry Flynt was certainly an equal opportunity offender! He even called the Supreme Court "Eight a--holes and a token c--- " . :o

Me too. He was younger than I thought.
