-Flynt acquired national status when he published a satirical article defaming, in disgusting terms, preacher [[Jerry Falwell]].  Falwell sued Flynt, but lost in the [[Supreme Court]], when the [[ACLU]] defended him.  The case was dramatized in the 1996 film ''The People v. Larry Flynt'', directed by [[Milos Forman]], with [[Woody Harrelson]] as the notorious editor. Since Flynt's case, slanderous satire has been presumed acceptable as free speech.
