The owner of America's most famous brothel explains how he promotes a business that is illegal to advertise

• Hiring John Bobbitt, who was momentarily famous in 1993 because his wife cut off his penis. Bobbitt worked as a bartender and handyman for Hof, until his celebrity became too much of a liability.
• After former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura admitted to frequenting the Ranch, Hof put a billboard in front advertising his patronage.
• In 2003, Hof offered the first 50 veterans returning from Iraq a free sex session and a 50% discount on services for the following 50 days.
• Announcing his support of Ron Paul's presidential campaign in 2008 and offering Paul supporters a "2-for-1 special."
• In 2008, the federal government gave out tax rebates as part of an economic stimulus plan to jumpstart the economy. Hof announced that the first 100 customers to bring those checks to the Ranch would receive double their value in services.
