Chapter 295: LSP Magazine

295

Before his hand touched the magazine, Edward felt that his tried and tested dog's eyes were severely irritated and he suffered severe discomfort.

What was handed over was the famous "Womanizer" magazine.

At present, the three-legged pornographic magazines in the United States are "Playboy", "Attic", and "Womanizer", each accounting for a quarter, and the remaining quarter is divided by more than a dozen other small magazines.

Each of these three magazines has its own characteristics.

Hugh Hefner's Playboy is the most famous, not only domestically famous, but also internationally as one of the representatives of American pornographic culture, so much so that TASS news agency from time to time criticizes it, but it is said that Dobrynin himself also saw that every issue was sent on a large scale to the Soviet Union through uncheckable diplomatic pouches.

When the bald ambassador faced a question from a Western reporter, he angrily said that this was slander!

But in any case, tabloid reporters did photograph Vasily and Alyosha of the Soviet embassy in New York sneaking up to the newsstand to buy this thing, and then stuffing it into their coats and bringing it back.

Strictly speaking, Playboy is a fashion magazine aimed at the young middle class, and except for the dew point insert and cover, the rest of the content is healthy and uplifting, after all, who has ever seen a serious sci-fi pornographic magazine like Arthur C. Clarke's "I Remember Babylon"?

The pretty Dew Point Bunny is just a playboy gimmick or an add-on, as Hefner himself admits.

But because he did it early, and he became famous in one fell swoop with Monroe's nude photos, he couldn't take off this hat after putting it on.

Secondly, there is "The Attic", which was founded in England in 1965 by Italian Bob Goonecchio, and this pedigree makes "The Attic" full of classical art from the beginning.

Compared with the sunny-filled "Playboy", "The Attic" is indeed more colorful, with a significant increase in all kinds of unclothed female photos, and the boss Guneccio himself is a good photographer and often shoots in person, so these photos naturally cannot be wasted.

Guneggio is Italian, a nation that almost fought a war, but in terms of artistic aesthetics, it is enough to throw off the American imperialism three streets, and the boss determines the direction of the magazine's taste.

For example, "Playboy" seems to be a California beach, full of endless bikini girls or sometimes fruity, then "The Attic" is a women-only bath in ancient Rome, it is difficult to see the clothes on, it is very yellow at a rough look, but it is quite classical beauty when you look closely.

But the photographs of both, or the vast majority of them, are beautiful from Edward's aesthetic point of view.

The former is sunny, the latter is elegant, and they are really good-looking.

In fact, in both Miller v. California and I'm Curious, both the prosecution and defense cited these two magazines as their arguments on more than one occasion, and reached a rare consensus that even the judge admitted that "although these two magazines are quite colorful, they have to admit that there are many positive things, full of art and real life" - in other words, this is a protected First Amendment, pornographic publication.

"Womanizer" - English name Hustler, Edward first saw this name and thought that if translated into LSP, it would seem more believable.

"Womanizer" appears in a completely different face from the beginning, and the owner, Larry Flint, is himself a rough embryo full of erotic traits!

Perverted, lustful, rude, and greedy are all his labels.

Under the auspices of such a boss, it is easy to understand what "Womanizer" is.

When Larry Flint started the magazine, his mind seemed to start to get out of shape.

It stands to reason that he should take the initiative to marry Hefner and Gunecho, after all, everyone is GHS, the rice market is so big, and the three magazines are aimed at different categories of people, so they can work together to create a yellow sky on the rice country and even the blue star!

Larry Flint doesn't think so, maybe it's a pervert called Larry, like Judge Wilford.

He perfectly implemented the principle that "only peers are naked hatred", and in each issue of the magazine, he personally wrote an article to provoke the two seniors.

For example, he satirized Playboy and Hefner: "I opened a magazine with a dew on the cover to jerk off, not to learn how to make a martini!" Or how to tune the engine of a car! ”

For Hefner's enthusiastic promotion of the middle-class lifestyle, he is even more dismissive: "It is the inherent nature of men to masturbate, but on Hefner's side, it seems that the annual income is less than 20,000 US dollars, and he is not even qualified to." It's a shame for magazines! ”

He even wrote that it was because of Hefner's selling dog meat on the head of a sheep that prompted him to decide to run "Womanizer", in which he tearfully recalled that afternoon in 1960, 18-year-old Larry Flint and his brother and a few friends bought a copy of "Playboy" with an exposed cover, and when they opened it with hope, the first thing they saw was "I Remember Babylon", which instantly softened!

Spending the money to buy a pornographic magazine to buy "Science Fiction World", what could be more unreasonable than that?!

This is blatant commercial fraud! What's even more infuriating is that the courts and the police don't care, and the deceived young people have no way to complain - so they are perverted......

"Womanizer" magazine is to smash the ugliness of this hypocritical middle class in the United States, and use the most yellow content to justify the name of the pornographic magazine!

He was even more unkind to Bob Gunecho, a self-proclaimed photographic artist, and Larry Flint gave full play to his patriotism and money-hungry characteristics, hiring Pinkertons to spy on Gunecho's various privacy, such as how many girls entered his mansion tonight, and then the lights came on, etc.

Based on this information, Larry then writes an article exposing the corrupt life of Mr. Gu, who calls himself an "observer of Gunecho", which causes the latter to collapse directly.

It's a nightmare for anyone......

"I'm an obscene peddler determined to save the world!" Larry Flint put it this way: "My goal is to sell my magazine to God."

Larry Flint is the giant of the low world Goliath. - said the dealers

"Womanizer" is a filthy magazine that makes men, women, and even Santa Claus put on all kinds of lewd actions! - The local prosecutor can't bear it!

It's worth noting that having Santa Claus put on various poses is not new in itself.

Hefner and Gunecho are both adept at this

The problem is that the "Santa Claus" in the first two are young girls in red robes, and even the elk has beautiful faces and fiery figures, but Santa Claus in "Womanizer" is really Santa Claus......

This is obviously too vulgar......

But the vulgar also has the benefits of the vulgar, usually the more vulgar things are, the more vitality they have, because of their strong stimulation, will involuntarily stimulate the reader's nerves, and rely on it, you must know that all exquisite and elegant are based on the three vulgarities.

The more vulgar it is, the more it is loved by people.

Larry Flint understood this better than his two pioneer colleagues.

Because Larry's occupation before starting the magazine was ...... Striptease bar owner.

The original intention for the magazine was not "I Remember Babylon", but from his younger brother, Jimmy Flint.

Jimmy was unfortunately sent to Vietnam by lottery, in the humid position in the afternoon, Jimmy guarded his M2 heavy machine gun, surrounded by mosquitoes and flies, and the "Answer Drifting in the Wind" in his ears gave him a little comfort, but after less than three minutes of silence, he was pulled back to the cruel reality of Indochina by the huge roar and air currents brought by the helicopter take-off and landing in the distance, which made the young man in his early twenties feel that hell is nothing more than that.

Jimmy, apparently an angel in hell.

Because he has an older brother who drives a striptease bar, the two brothers have a very good relationship, and the elder brother sends a mail package to his brother every once in a while - inside is a large stack of **** photos of his own bar!

So much so that the company commander would sneak up on the position, pat him on the shoulder, "Jimmy, what a great boy", and then familiarly copy a stack of photos, of course, they will definitely be returned, otherwise there will be a mutiny - as for the still wiped-looking stains on the photos, everyone doesn't care, but unfortunately there is no word to describe it in the United States.

In his letter to Larry, Jimmy wrote:

"My dear brother! You can't understand how important this is! When I showed up in the field hospital with these unique little gifts of yours, those comrades-in-arms who were moaning on the dirty hospital bed took me for an angel...... It's even more effective than morphine, and it's popular! It was you who made me the most popular person in Vietnam! ”

……

Larry's family was poor, so he faked his age at the age of 15 to join the army, in order to save his family food and go out to see the world.

After retiring from the army, he worked for a short time in several big cities, probably because he saw the happy life of the upper class...... Hugh Hefner suspected that Larry had ever worked as a doorman in his Playboy club.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why this guy opened a tavern when he returned to his hometown - a low-profile version of the Playboy Club.

The room was filthy, and a few broken billiard tables were nailed with three plywood boards and covered with cheap chemical fiber carpets.

Larry paid for young girls to dance in bikinis on stage and sell beers along the way.

The bar's name is unpretentious "Larry's Hillbilly Paradise"!

He explains, "There's not a man in the world who doesn't want to drink cheap beer and watch the best dancing!" ”

Edward scoffed at this, and the industrial lager added rice and even syrup in order to reduce costs, resulting in a bland taste - it couldn't stand the cheap!

This pale ale has a wonderful benefit.

The girls dancing on stage usually end up playing the role of salesmen, and the men think it's best to get the girls drunk so that they can get cheap......

So one cup, one cup, one cup, the girls had no other problems except for a few more trips to the toilet.

Under the stimulation of slight alcohol, they writhed more fiercely on the stage, so that the beer business was even better!

Larry is an Ohio native, and the bar is in Dayton, which is not a big city, but thanks to the country's rapid industrialization, General Motors and Ford have opened automobile factories all over the city, plus advanced aviation manufacturing, Dayton has a huge industrial population.

These tired assembly line workers, after leaving the workshop, plunged headlong into "Larry's hillbilly paradise", eating a sandwich, then pouring beer and occasionally laughing with the chicks on the stage, which is the best way to relieve stress.

In order to cope with the three shifts of guests, "Larry's Hillbilly Paradise" is also open 24 hours a day, even if the sun is hot outside, it is still dark and damp inside, and this strange mixed smell is permeated by the smell of heaven for regular customers.

Larry has a flexible brain, does not talk about business, honestly hires people to dance and sell beer, does not engage in those messy routines, these girls are strictly protected in the bar, no one wants to touch them, of course, if the guests are enough to let the girls follow him away, that is the ability, Larry will not stop it.

In this way, more and more business was made, and soon three branches were opened, and he innovated in the service items, he recruited more hostesses, and they didn't even need to have a dance foundation, as long as they were willing to wear three-point poses and wriggle on stage with customers.

Larry was lucky, the timing was just right, this was the wave of the 60s x liberation of the United States.

As a tide maker, he made a lot of money by taking advantage of this big wave.

This is also in response to the sentence "A person's destiny, of course, depends on his own struggle, but also considers the historical itinerary ......"

But that's not enough.

Larry didn't read a book and started to mix with society very early, and he was rude, or rather ruthless.

He keenly smelled the smell of X liberation, and of course other smart people in the same period also felt the spring river plumbing.

Everyone is testing the boundaries of pornography in an attempt to make more money within the limits of what is legally tolerated.

Larry scoffs at this timid and shallow behavior of his peers, and he decides to break through it!

Since wearing clothes (in theory, bikinis are indeed clothes), dancing and selling alcohol, can make me open several semicolons in a row, what if I don't wear them?

That's definitely not going to work, and the federal government and the state government are definitely not going to let it.

So half-worn?

He hired a lawyer to search the laws of Dayton and found that there was no such rule.

Thus the first Banguo Club officially opened! THE NAME IS HUSTLER/WOMANIZER/LSP

At the beginning, he was not very famous, and he couldn't stand out on the erotic street.

Paying a high price for a bikini dancer to stand in a glass window and dance to attract customers.

The police patrolling the streets were stunned...... They burst into the bar, slapped the bills Larry had given him, and demanded that he take the actor down immediately!

And warned him that absolutely, absolutely not allowed to do such immoral live performances in public, absolutely not!

As for how to close the door, that's another story.

Larry nodded yes, promising never to do it again, politely sending the police away and stuffing a thick wad of bills into their pockets.

When the police saw that this kid knew that his mistakes could be corrected, he would also come to trouble, so he laughed and accepted it.

The next day, when the police patrolled the streets again, they almost had a heart attack.

Yes, there is no three-point girl in the window, but there is one more, the largest 20-inch color TV ever available, and Larry broadcasts the three-point dance live to the entire erotic street through a closed-circuit television system.

The policeman had nothing to say, so he could only shake his head and leave.

That's how Larry got a taste of the media.

Then he thought on a whim, could he do something better for the members? The result was a black-and-white folio, The LSP Bulletin.

It contains a large number of performance photos and various pornographic jokes, which are distributed free of charge.

The guests were excited! It's such a goose girl!

Larry continued to increase the number of pages to 32 pages, resulting in a thin booklet.

Later, it was simply formalized and made into a big magazine.

But its vulgar and violent genes have continued.

"Playboy" is an erotic exposure, the attic is an erotic exposure, and here in "LSP", it's straightforward to say "Dew!" Dew in various poses!

The first two photos are trying not to let the reader see the details clearly, and when it comes to Larry, the reader is God, and we will post whatever God wants to see, and we will not hesitate to go to the endoscope, as long as God pays for it!

As soon as LSP came out, he punched Hefner and kicked Gunecho, making Playboy synonymous with selling dog meat on sheep's heads, and transforming The Attic into a pure body art magazine.

What a humiliation for two tycoons!

What makes Larry most famous is that he is a dog, he dares to do anything, he dares to climb anything.

For example, after Jacqueline married the Greek ship king Onassis, she went to the beach to bask in the sun naked, but was photographed by the paparazzi, and the paparazzi took the photo and asked from door to door, but no one dared to board, Larry waved his hand, "I'm coming!" ”

Sold over 1 million copies in a week!

How terrifying is this number?

Playboy sells 150w-200w a month, but you must know that it is an old magazine that has been established for more than ten years, the industry leader, and now it is plugged in by Larry Flint in a beautiful back row, and it is a stuffy stick.

Goonecho and Hefner were stupid.

Jacqueline's fruit photos were so seductive that the Ohio Governor quietly went to the newsstand to buy a ............ Unfortunately, it was photographed by reporters......

The governor's office declined to comment, saying only that the governor's actions were personal and protected by the First Amendment.

When Hefner chatted with Edward in private, he also shook his head frequently about Larry Flint, who he felt was the real enemy compared to Gunecho.

Of course, Gooneggio and Hefner were also at odds with each other, and their arguments were mainly based on aesthetic forms, with Hefner being the spokesperson for the American middle class, and the erotic images of sun, beach, and industrial products in magazines were mostly based on bikinis that lacked bad omens.

Güneggio is a proper old European feudal style, the tone of the picture is quite dark, emphasizing the use of Rembrandt-style light, he has always opposed Hefner's practice of using strips of cloth or other objects to cover the key points of the model, calling it aesthetic laziness, artistic vulgarity, under Goonejo's lens, various shades and highlights are the best decorations of the female body.

In any case, literature and art are the common language of these two guys, and everyone is not used to each other, but they can still call each other friends in public, with a smile on their faces and a smile in their hearts......

Larry is different, he came to power with "I'm not targeting anyone, you are all rubbish here, all representatives of the hypocritical lifestyle of the dead bourgeoisie, buddies just play simple and direct!" As big as the paper, as big as the pimple! ”

In a way, Larry is simply the Soviet Union of the erotic world, singing "The Red Army is the Most Powerful" and has a sweeping attitude towards the American and European capitalists.
