It's just confusing if you don't know who he is. It's easy to misread it as "(Hustler), (founder) and (free-speech activist)" instead of "(Hustler founder) and (free-speech activist)".

Of course reading TFA alleviates that confusion pretty quickly.

"The founder of Hustler" would be less confusing.

That seems exceedingly nitpicky given the way headlines get meaningfully edited to say different things here all the time. The words are the same in a different order but grammatically identical.

I disagree. It might be confusing for someone who doesn't know Hustler (the magazine). It sounds unlikely but I'm not sure if younger generation know about those print magazines.

Believe it or not, Hustler has a bustling web presence.

Not trying to keep arguing but I wouldn't call it "bustling" with an Alexa rank of 261,156. I don't think anybody who doesn't know the print magazine would know about their web presence.

One might call it un-bustling, one imagines less clothes not more, but perhaps a bustle being underwear is more de rigeur

Hustler would be better; italics (or underlining) is conventional for periodical titles, quotations for article titles within the periodical.

not wishing to experiment in the commons, can we "do" markup tricks in the title?
