I can't believe I read this on CNN!


WASHINGTON (CNN) Another major American industry is asking for assistance as the global financial crisis continues: Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said Wednesday they will request that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry.

The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three, said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.

Francis said in a statement that the US government should actively support the adult industry's survival and growth, just as it feels the need to support any other industry cherished by the American people."

They can't be serious. Maybe it's a stunt to show how out of hand this has gotten. I mean really, how hard is it to find porn or to get a drunk girl to lift her shirt?

I'm thinking they are probably going to have a difficult time making the case. First of all, they aren't a major employer. Second, if they have been hurt by anything, it is not the economy... its the internet. That business is just flat out changing because every schmuck with a digital camera, digital camcorder, and internet access is now their competition.

They can ask all they want, but if they get it, that will be final reason to fire our government.

I don't think they stand much of a chance, but the Congressional hearings would be kinda fun to watch! rofl.gif Can you picture Chris Dodd questioning Larry FLint and Joe Francis the way they did the CEOs of the big 3 auto makers and Gettlefinger from UAW? Actually, that is kind of horrifying... sprint.gif

"Mr. Flint... please sir, describe in graphic detail, and speak slowly, exactly how you intend to revitalize your publications and videos. What are your selection practices for new talent? Can Congress HELP with the interviews? Will you conscent to "Congressional oversight" of your productions?" omg.gif

Senator Buck Naked sounds like the right man to oversee the committee.
