I used to work for a certain nonprofit, one you may have heard of. United Way of America. Back about 20 years ago, you might remember that we had some troubles with several of our corporate officers, including our president, William Aramony. Stuff involving fraudulent use of charitable funds. Oh, and how some of the funds were used to support a relationship between the sexagenarian president and his teenaged mistress. It was in the papers back in '92 as the scandal unfolded and again in '95 when Aramony and his bootlicking co-conspirators were convicted on federal fraud charges and sentenced to prison. It's starting to ring some bells now, am I right?
What you may not have known at the time -- or perhaps you did know but won't admit -- was that the scandal even found its way into Hustler Magazine, inspiring a brilliant parody of a fundraising campaign ad along with a commentary that was as direct as anything else printed about the matter.
