the Playboy angle is what hurt the most. I was down with Playboy from the late 70's well up til the early 90's. Had my first toons published in the mag as a joke. Same with Penthouse. Heck, I practically invented their former popular Penthouse Comics magazine before asshole George got hooked on dope and fucked it all up.

He ended up taking a one way dive off the top of the Marriott Hotel after fucking up much of Guccione's money the word is.

Gonzo hit a point I wasn't going to mention, dope addiction and gambling. I've already won an out of court settlement with one GFY asshole who it turns out was on smack and had a gambling habit. Part of his settlement was to get on therapy. He was a bad ass on the boards but when I rolled up on his scraggly ass with 225lbs of solid muscle he suddenly bitched up like the sig whore he was. It was pitiful looking at this piece of shit, no I'm sorry, degraded human being.

That dope, alcohol, gambling will drag ya down. Of course he ratted like a girl and the list of fuck ups, even a so-called long term friend of mine whose program I sold big time came up.

VDC-Loki said it right in many ways. You could do right but this business is rapidly turning into a junky's free for all. Even the half assed mobsters just blow their shit every turn.

Years ago when it was tight-knit, one guy would do good and by default all would do good.

I don't hold Playboy at fault with GFY, believe me, if I wanted to I could crash Playboy's shit so hard they'd have to hock their rabbit ears. I didn't spend all those years in news for nothing. The facts are your best weapon. Playboy's place in history is it's own worse enemy, they don't need to coddle that ilk. Even when they're kidding around if you're tied in with a large stock issuing company, you do NOT make racist jokes while under the corporate banner.

Or was Playboy getting set up by these bozos? Just following some plan to grab the attention of the DoJ to bring Playboy down?

More will unfold.
