ASSHOLE OF THE MONTH
PENTHOUSE RIP-OFF COMTINUES
One of the most important thing in life is originality. It is what makes us tick and run. Sometimes originality has to be pursued in revolutionary ways and under revolutionary circumstances. Such was the case with the American Revolution, the indo-Chinese Revolution, and even the Lenny Bruce "How to talk dirty" revolution.
That wasn't the case with Penthouse when publisher Bob Guccione broke into men's magazine market. Hefner[指:Playbloy的創始人Hugh Hefner,還是個Gay佬]had already paved the way with Playboy. Guccione followed suit by duplicating Playboy's established format, ripping off such names as Penthouse (from Playboy's Penthouse), and Penthouse Forum (from Playboy Forum). He hasn't stopped since then as an examination of his approach to both pictorials and editorials with reveal.
Putting it up mildly, Guccione is up to his old tricks. This time he is imitating HUSTLER's exciting "Open Pussy" style ("Our Publisher's statement, " May 1975). This is not the first time Guccione let his competitors do the thinking. As we pointed out in December 1974's "Bit's & Peaces, "[順帶一説:《Hustler》雜志的所有Asshole of the Month文章全部在Bit's & Peaces分類下] Guccione used HUSTLER's Honey Karen Dermer in his october issue. Finally, in his most recent rip off, he placed HUSTLER's Olinka (January 1975 Honey) on page 103 of his April, 1975 fashion spread.
Obviously Guccione is hard-up for anything new. He can't develop ideas on his own. And when he lets someone do it for him, he comes up short——just like Penthouse.
