Al Goldstein

Alvin "Al" Goldstein (b. January 10 1936, New York City) is an American publisher and pornographer. Goldstein founded the tabloid "Screw" magazine. He was also the host and producer (with radio personality Alex Bennett) of "Midnight Blue", a New York leased-public access cable television series.

His company, Milky Way Productions, home of "Screw" and his long-running cable show, "Midnight Blue", went into bankruptcy in 2004. His mansion in Pompano Beach, Florida, with the 11-foot statue of a raised middle finger out back, was sold in June 2004 to pay debts.

In 2005 a documentary was made by James Guardino about Goldstein, titled "". In 2006, Goldstein released an autobiography, through Thunder’s Mouth Press, co-written with Josh Alan Friedman, titled "I, Goldstein: My Screwed Life", which has received favourable reviews.

Al regularly rants in his blog, maintained in association with the Adult search engine, Booble.

In late March 2007, Al launched his presidential campaign for the 2008 election. Campaign slogans include "Support Al, He likes it on top".

On August 29, in response to the Larry Craig scandal, he wrote a [http://algoldstein.booble.com/2007/08/im-gay-and-so-are-you.html post] in which he declared himself bisexual and said he'll be "the first presidential candidate to admit to sucking cock and the first to turn fully gay mid-campaign."

However, in a presidential campaign video posted on YouTube, Al admits he is straight and has been married five times. He did state in the same video that he supports gay marriage. [ [http://youtube.com/watch?v=6fKU3in0mz8 Al Goldstein for President 2008] ]
