I’m on my phone and don’t do links well, but: > **[Hugh Hefner, iconic founder of Playboy, has died at age 91](https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/27/hugh-hefner-iconic-founder-of-playboy-has-died-at-age-91.html)** > > Playboy magazine inspired and rode the "sexual revolution" of the 1960s and '70s as a force for changing attitudes. He certainly was part of thesexual revolution, and for a time Playboy magazine was relevant for interviews and opinions. ETA: And of course the Death Pool thread beat me to it. ---
