    Playboy founder Hugh Hefner dead at 91

    Hugh Hefner -- the silk-robed Casanova whose Playboy men's magazine popularized the term "centerfold," glamorized an urbane bachelor lifestyle and helped spur the sexual revolution of the 1960s -- has died, the magazine said late Wednesday. He was 91.

    Hefner founded Playboy in 1953 with $600 of his own money and built the magazine into a multimillion-dollar entertainment empire that at its 1970s peak included TV shows, a jazz festival and a string of Playboy Clubs whose cocktail waitresses wore bunny ears and cottontails.

    Over the years, the legend of "Hef" only grew as he bedded hundreds of young women, married a few of his magazine's "Playmates" and cavorted on reality TV shows with a stable of girlfriends less than a third his age.

    Some critics dismissed him as a relic of a sexist era, especially in his later years, when Hefner spoke openly of his Viagra-fueled sex romps at the Playboy Mansion. But many men envied his adolescent-fantasy lifestyle...

    He has now met his Maker. Wonder how it turned out for old Hef?

    Maybe he is one of them and he gets reconstructed every day. I'm just speculating on Islamic theology.

    Hugh Hefner dead at 91. I remember sharing the Gospel with him. He saw significance of the Resurrection but had never checked the evidence.

    I found this quote from the article really depressing. I wonder how it affected how he turned out. I kinda feel sorry for him.

    Hefner was born April 9, 1926, in Chicago to Glenn Hefner, an accountant, and Grace Hefner, a teacher. Both parents were conservative Protestants from Nebraska.

    "My folks were raised pure prohibitionist," Hefner told The Hollywood Reporter in 2011. "They were very good people, with high moral standards -- but very repressed. There was no hugging and kissing in my home."

    Franklin Graham wrote the following...

    "Hugh Hefner, who died yesterday, was asked by The New York Times in 1992 what he was most proud of in his life. His answer? "That I changed attitudes toward sex...

    That I decontaminated the notion of premarital sex. That gives me great satisfaction." He wanted to be known as the one responsible for the sexual revolution. That's a sobering thought. This was a revolution in direct rebellion against God's Word and His laws.

    News reports also said that Hefner paid $75,000 years ago for the vault next to Marilyn Monroe so that he could "spend eternity with Playboy's first cover girl." This is a reminder to realize that where our soul—not our casket—is going to spend eternity is what matters most.

    That will be only one of two places—Heaven or Hell. Trusting Jesus Christ as Savior by faith is the only way to Heaven. God is the ultimate judge."

    Well, 1992 was 25 years ago. Hopefully he had regrets about it later. We don't know where he wound up, but I hope he called on the name of the Lord before he took his last breath.
