Eighty-two-year-old multi-millionaire has his birthday cake delivered to him by a nude Pamela Anderson, while his three - three! - playmate girlfriends watch on and applaud

If I make it to 82, I expect my birthday cake will be an ASDA fairy cake with a candle poked into it. Dropped in front of me by a care home assistant called Tomasz. With a grunting comment that my family's cards must have got "held up in the post".

Actually, that might be wishful thinking for my 42nd birthday party, never mind my 82nd.

I find him a pathetic... pathetic.

And the three playmates most likely play more with themselves than with him.

It's a big joke!

Pamela Anderson is a big joke.

I can't imagine anything more intimidating than being given a big cake by a naked woman that I don't know. Well, maybe a naked man that I don't know.

And I really, really like cake.

Pamela is great, she does a lot of animal rights campaigning.

I'm pretty sure Hugh Hefner knows who Pamela Anderson is, unless the Al's Hammer disease has set in..

Where on earth are her nipples?

Edited by way of blurring out so as to prevent corrupting the innocent reader.

Nice stunt by Hefner. I mean, it's basically projecting the same message as driving around in some monster sports car, but a lot safer and more environmentally friendly.

Do people really find something to admire here?

Don't be so humourless, Wyatt.

(He said, er, humorously)

What do you reckon, Wyatt? In all seriousness, like?

About Hugh Hefner, or about people on this thread?

About the answer to the question you posed in your previous post. Has anybody seen anything to admire? I think the only post which had any hint of that was mine. If you took that seriously, then clearly my tongue-in-cheek emitter is on a different wavelength from your detector.

See, that's why I asked for clarification.

I find the digitally manipulated Ms. Anderson far more disturbing and likely to corrupt than if she'd just been left alone.

What is the deal with Hefner? He seems to be allowed to do stuff like this and be treated in an indulgent way, when anyone else would be lambasted for it. I guess David Sullivan is the UK equivalent, can you imagine if he tried it on?

[Wyatt Earp]

I dunno. If PPV thinks you're a perve, you're in trouble.

[wingco]

As for Hugh Hefner, I think it's hard to think of many people who get off lighter than him as a result of the "fear of appearing humourless" deterrent.

Edit: didn't see delicatemoth's post.

Yeah, what we've got here is an 82-year-old pornographer spending his birthday with some prostitutes.

And why not?

My wife enjoys watching "Girls of the Playboy Mansion" whilst ironing for some bizarre reason. I told her I prefer to see my bunnies in a less sanitised manner.

Sure, but all I'm saying is, let's call it what it is. I mean, don't you find the "lifestyle" schlock around Playboy and Hefner incredibly annoying and euphemistic? I think I'd prefer something a bit more eighteenth-century. Apart from the whole "pox" thing.

[Eggchaser]

Oh, I find him very daft indeed, but on the other hand, if I was an 82 year old bachelor getting cake, I'd rather find myself in his boots than those of the propspective aged Rogin.

"getting cake"

I've now got that Brass Eye drugs spoof stuck in my head.

Indeed. It just looks like the Barbie doll transformation is finally complete.

The guy worked his ass off to build a brand and to fill a market niche that wasn't being filled at the time. So, er, good for him, I guess. As for his current "lifestyle," eh, so what? He and his women friends seem to be enjoying their lives and understand what they're getting into, so it's all ok. I'm all for people living how they want to if they're not hurting anybody.

But I have to wonder how his Johnson still works. It's not the years, but the miles, so they say.

Besides, I'd think he'd get bored of it all after a while. I'd think that for him, seeing Pam Anderson's cartoonishly large breasts, et al, wouldn't be much of a thrill anymore.
