Screw is a weekly pornographic magazine published in the United States aimed at heterosexual men. It was first published in 1968 by Al Goldstein and was printed weekly in tabloid form. Founder Al Goldstein has won a series of obscenity cases.[1] Longtime singer-songwriter Barry Manilow wears a T-shirt featuring their logo on one of his early albums.
In 1977, Alabama Governor George Wallace sued Screw for $5 million for publishing that the governor had learned to do sexual acts from reading the magazine. The two parties settled for $12,500, and Screw agreed to print an apology in the magazine.[2]
The magazine is no longer owned by Goldstein, having been restarted by his former employees in 2005.[3]
