per the NY Post:

Larry Flynt — the notorious porn peddler who built a smut empire out of his Hustler magazine and fashioned himself into a champion of the First Amendment — died on Wednesday. He was 78.

Flynt succumbed to heart failure at his Hollywood Hills home, his nephew, Jimmy Flynt Jr., confirmed to the Associated Press.

Flynt, whose death was first reported by TMZ, had suffered from a slew of health problems since a 1978 murder attempt that left him paralyzed from the waist down.

The controversial mogul was known for challenging the establishment and his myriad legal battles involving free speech and pornography regulations.


Go Gophers!!
 

RIP to a guy who made my teenage years a little more interesting.
 

I knew a guy in College who used to read Hustler. Some of the cartoons were funny if you had a certain sense of humor.
