Subject: Quote of the day
"Anyone rising to the task of performing a comparative analysis of
February [1999]'s Canadian and American editions of Hustler magazine will
undoubtedly reach the same inescapable conclusion: Larry Flynt's skin
guide to modern anatomy and coital execution has been pulling the wool
over our eyes. Okay, some of our eyes....
"Simply, the Canuck version of Mr. Flynt's paean to freedom of speech
has been studiously offering lies as bona fide Canadian fare. Witness
the letters page in the two February issues. "I salute Hustler for
saying no to faggotry!" S.M. from Lincoln, Neb. writes in the American
edition. Cross the border and we suddenly have S.M. from Tichfield,
Sask., offering exactly the same praise: "I salute Hustler for
saying no to faggotry!" Coincidence? Hardly. Of the 24 Canadian
letters, 21 are actually imposters from the U.S. edition, reprinted
verbatim in their glorious entirety.
"Then there's the amateur photo gallery, featuring people who look very
much like the next-door neighbour who leaves her drapes open. In the
American edition, just one of the 17 women who "flash for cash" is
identified as living in Canada....
"In the Canadian edition, the same women are again featured, but the
poor reader is now led to believe that eight of these exhibitionists
live in Canada -- a mendacious CanCon boost of 41 per cent. Terri
from L.A., who has a fondness for "phallic fruits" and public sex, for
example, is suddenly Terri from Huntington, Que., with exactly the
same upstanding predilections....
"So, who's the mastermind behind this shadowy enterprise? Who's
responsible for dashing all hope that the girl of many a dream is
alive and well and sitting on a banana in Huntington?"
- William Shields, in Masthead magazine, which covers the Canadian
magazine industry. [Tichfield is an hour's drive from your editor's
home town, but I can not attest to how they salute there. - ed.]
