'''Larry Flynt''' is the founder of the pornographic magazine ''Hustler''. Since founding the magazine, Flynt has become an advocate of a liberal conception of [[free speech]], under which profanity and pornography are classed as "protected speech."
'''Larry Flynt''' is the founder of the immoral and pornographic magazine ''Hustler''. Since founding the magazine, Flynt has become an advocate of a liberal conception of [[free speech]], under which profanity and pornography are "protected speech."
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 equally vulgar movie, ''The People v. Larry Flynt''. Since Flynt's case, slanderous satire has been presumed acceptable as "free speech."
