Not Kidding: Porn Industry Wants Bailout
Newsmax, Las Vegas NV --
As the 2009 AVN Adult Expo opens in Las Vegas this week, Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis and Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt are petitioning the newly convened 111th Congress to provide a financial bailout for the adult entertainment industry along the lines of what is being sought by the Big Three automakers, a spokesperson for Francis announced today.
Adult industry leaders Flynt and Francis sent a joint request to Congress asking for $5 billion in federal assistance, "Just to see us through hard times," Francis said.
"Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses, we feel we deserve the same consideration. In difficult economic times, Americans turn to entertainment for relief. More and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment."
But according to Flynt the recession has acted like a national cold shower.
"People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt says, "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."

2 This is Corporate Socialism and it is wrong. Congratulations, Porn industry, for showing America how Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, are screwing the American taxpayer like Peter North never could. |

2 It has nothing to do with the times. Larry Flynt helped establish some boundaries with regard to freedom of speech. He is obviously testing the boundaries of Congress, while showing how stupid it is that we are bailing anyone out at all. He proves his point by asking for the same consideration the auto industry sought, and it sounds ridiculous when it is Flynt asking; which is just his point. |

3 Larry Flynt is a truly great patriot and American and Hustler is our finest export product. Porn is protected by the US Constitution - it is said that Thomas Jefferson himself was a fan of interracial porn. His "free press" liberalism trailblazed the way for early versions of Hustler. Of course, Repukes hate the idea of "freedom of the press" and the entire Bill of Rights - but the GOP Taliban is losing out to us Freedom Fighters for Liberty! Halleiluya, Praise the Lawd and pass the Hustler! |

Yes indeed! After all, only liberals and Democrats purchase and view pornography. <rolling eyes> Have you always been an idiot or is this a recent development for you? |

1 Global Warming - lets pay billions to other white rich jerks that own "green companies" that are looking to cash in on nebulous and unproven global warming theories that the Democrats want to support. Access To Abortion - yeah - there's a good way to boost the economy - let's kill off a significant portion of the next generation. Let's ignore the fact that we are already killing thousands of babies daily as it is, and a significant portion is black. I agree with you on education, but let's do it smart, and let the states manage the money, not the feds, and let's also fund vouchers so that the parents can choose where they send their kids, thus forcing the educators and administrators to get on the ball. As for higher education, I'm all for funding more people getting a paid education, as long as there is some sort of trade exchange - if we pay for their education, they need to spend some time using that education to benefit the tax payers for an equal time they spent in college on our dime. |
