S.E.C. Probes 'Penthouse' (Shut Yer Dirty Mouth!)
According to Bloomberg News, Penthouse International Inc. is being sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission "improperly booking $1 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2003."
A lesser charge of being "criminally dashing" has been lodged against Penthouse founder Bob Guccione, seen here in a file photo running with the story in The Washington Post. (His lawyers plea bargained down from "lethally dashing," which carries a life sentence of hard, sexy labor.)
If being suave is against the law, only outlaws will be that suave.
