   Did you ever read Al Goldstein's "Screw Magazine"?  More in the form   
   of a tabloid newspaper.  Came out weekly.   
      
   Pages and pages of names and photos offering all sorts of more-or-less   
   perverted sexual fantasies - and just one easy phone call away.   
      
   (Wiki):  Obituary   
   Goldstein was described in his obituary in The New York Times as "a   
   cartoonishly vituperative amalgam of Borscht Belt comic, free-range   
   social critic and sex-obsessed loser who seemed to embody a moment in   
   New York City's cultural history: the sleaze and decay of Times Square   
   in the 1960s and ‘70s.
