beowulf 1 #1 January 7, 2009 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/07/porn-industry-seeks-federal-bailout/ Quote 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." That is too funny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #5 January 8, 2009 I'm all for it, since it would be the first bailout in which the tax payers aren't the only ones being screwed and it's a bargain at a mere five million million dollars ($40 per tax payer). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtnesbitt 0 #9 January 8, 2009 I think this is a great idea and really hope they pursue it. Not because i want them to get a bailout, but because if they make a strong enough argument then hopefully the govt will realize the door they opened and stop doing bailouts all together."If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #10 January 8, 2009 Well at least this would be a bailout of an industry that makes products consumers actually want to buy. Of course that fact is also what makes such a bailout unnecessary. Maybe Ford, GM, and Chrysler should hire some porn execs to return them to profitability.

masterrig 1 #11 January 9, 2009 I can see this 'bail-out' thing really snow-balling! With all the 'porn' in Washington, looks like the 'industry' might have a chance. Besides, the little guy can afford a six-pack and some porn easier than a new Excursion!Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
