Crisis Averted: Penthouse has a New Chief
B
ob Guccione has officially resigned as CEO of Penthouse International. Lest ye be concerned that Penthouse, that fine magazine of arts and letters, is in trouble, fear not: the new CEO of Penthouse International is 90-year-old Milton Polland. If I were a stockholder, I know I'd feel better knowing a company whose primary market is men age 18-34 is now being helmed by a guy born in 1913. But maybe I'm being a bit harsh. After all, Guccione is still officially the editor and publisher at a spry 72. Maybe it's time to stop complaining about the pornographic content in Penthouse, and instead start thanking the magazine for providing meaningful employment to senior citizens.
