Hustler Truck San Francisco, Hustler 'stripper truck' peddles sex on wheels: The founder of porn magazine Hustler and outspoken free-speech advocate has a new creation involving a mobile strip club inside a windowed truck. Needless to say, the roving stripper truck is causing lots of controversyHustler porn baron Larry Flynt has been causing mass outrage yet again with a mobile advertising truck featuring live pole dancers.
The 'Hustler Club Truck' has been doing the rounds in San Francisco's Sunset District, drumming up trade for the company's nightclub in the city's financial district.
Its route had taken it up to the corner of 37th Avenue and Balboa where it caused outrage among local residents, prompting a flood of complaints.
The Hustler Club truck which features live gyrating pole dancers has been causing outrage among residents of San Francisco.
In response City Supervisor Eric Mar had the offensive vehicle towed away due to expired tags.
He told CBS Sacramento: 'If you look inside there’s a pole so some women can dance around it, as this thing drives around the street,”
The truck is right by the Anza Branch Library and half a block from an elementary school.'
However the truck wasn't off the road for long and soon reappeared on a new route which took it to 42nd and Geary.
Now Mr Mar is hoping to introsuce a new city ordnance in the hope of having it off the road permanently.
However Mr Mar has picked a tough opponent in the Hustler owner.
Over the last three decades the staunch left-winger has fought a raft of legal battles regarding free speech.
Last year he offered an $1 million reward to anyone with proof of 'an illicit sexual liaison' involving Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry.
Los Angeles-based Larry Flynt Productions, which publishes Hustler, bought full-page advertisements in the weekly editions of the U.S. satirical tabloid The Onion and the Austin Chronicle, a Texas alternative paper, seeking evidence of any Perry peccadilloes.Wheels of fury:
San Francisco City Supervisor Eric Mar had the truck towed due to expired tags but is has since reappeared on a different route.
In 1975 he published nude pictures of former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis sunbathing on holiday in 1971.
The pictures attracted widespread attention, and 1million copies of the issue sold within a few days. Now a millionaire, Flynt bought a $375,000 mansion.
On 6 March 1978, during a legal battle related to obscenity in Georgia, Flynt and his local lawyer, Gene Reeves Junior, were shot by a sniper in an ambush near the county courthouse in Lawrenceville.The truck has been promoting the Hustler Club in San Fransisco's financial district.
The attack left him partially paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, with permanent spinal cord damage.
White supremacist serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin confessed to the shootings many years later, claiming he was outraged by an interracial photo shoot in Hustler.
I know it when I see it. Defining obscenity may have stumped Supreme Court justices, but in San Francisco’s Sunset District, Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club Truck must put the petal to the metal and go.
Girls are inside most Friday and Saturday nights. It’s a mobile enticement for the legions of tourists who share the “XY” chromosome.
But even the tourist libido retires for the night, as so does the truck’s driver. For over a month he’s been putting on the brakes at 37th Avenue and Balboa. And neighbors are outraged.
City Supervisor Eric Mar says complaints flew fast and furious.
“The truck is right by the Anza Branch Library and half a block from an elementary school,” said Mar.
“If you look inside there’s a pole so some women can dance around it, as this thing drives around the street,” said Mar.
The truck took a hiatus, but much like libido it came back, this time to 42nd and Geary. It’s a game of cat and mouse, and calls to Hustler Club management go nowhere.
Hustler didn’t return phone calls, perhaps because they know there is a 20-year-old city law that forbids vehicles commercially advertising on public streets. Even if they don’t, Mar’s working on a new law that tows any and all titillations.
