If you thought the recent Wall Street crash was bad (How 'bout that Dow today?), talk to Hugh Hefner: It’s costing him pussy. The recent credit crunch has forced the _Playboy_ founder to reduce staff which fully, 100%, without a shadow of a doubt because they’re prostitutes explains why Kendra Wilkinson (above), [Holly Madison](http://thesuperficial.com/2008/09/holly_madison_leaves_hugh_hefn.php) and [Bridgett Marquardt](http://thesuperficial.com/2008/09/bridget_marquardt_kicks_hugh_h.php) are jumping ship. The [Daily Telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3077911/Hugh-Hefner-to-sack-Playboy-bunnies-amid-financial-crisis.html) reports:
The 83-year-old has been told to lay off some of his staff at his Los Angeles and New York offices as soon as this month or go bankrupt.
The company has recently seen shares fall from £6.20 to £1.55. An insider at the company told the Daily Star that bosses had been aware of the worsening situation for “a while”.
“Only the top brass has known for a while how bad things have been for Hef recently.”
Spokeswoman Elizabeth Austin would not confirm the sackings, saying: "It is our policy not to comment on corporate matters such as employee issues."If Hugh Hefner, of all people, dies old and alone without giant fake breasts in his face, then my God, what hope is there for the rest of us? Damn you, stock market. DAMN YOU TO HELL!

the playboy name is worth so much that he’s not exactly going to be homeless no matter how bad things get.

yes, and the same reason the home pron industry (DVD, Direct to Video) has seen a steep decline…first time ever guys like Vivid are scared.

What, as if it was a surprise to you that they hung around for the money?
Kendra was just enjoying herself, and has no emotion at all. And every show I wanted to strangle her when she laughed. I’m actually glad she left, to spare Hef the torture of being there. He always seemed annoyed with her, and only put up with her bullshit for the show.
Bridgett didn’t seem smart enough to even understand what was going on, but realized she had it good so she stayed. She had the “I’m having fun for free, weeeeeeeeeeeee!” kinda mentality. Of course she isn’t smart enough to realize sleeping with a married man will cause problems. She doesn’t have the brain power to think that far ahead.
Holly was the worst, trying to be the “actual” girlfriend who wanted to marry Hef, and then run the company. Hef was too smart for her, and never said a word. Why the fuck would Hef want to get married so one of his whores could take over his company? She was a fake, just like the rest. :tup: to Hef for being smart. 80+ years old and he can still see right through his tramps.
