isislc Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/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."“We should be delivering [the request] by the end of today to our congressmen and [secretary of the Treasury Henry] Paulson asking for this $5 billion dollar bailout,” he told CNN Wednesday.Flynt and Francis concede the industry itself is in no financial danger — DVD sales have slipped over the past year, but Web traffic has continued to grow.But the industry leaders said the issue is a nation in need. "People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt said in the statement. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex.""With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. It's time for congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly."So far, there has been no congressional reaction to the request.-------------------------------------------------------------------Now this is getting too frickin rediculous!

red1gtrubodsm Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thats ridiculous! Im laughin my butt off over this! If the government bails out the porn industry then maybe men can get a bailout from the porn industry to pay for carpal tunnel surgery. And even Anheiser Busch is then to blame for all the ugly girls my roommate brings home. It all makes the same amount of nonscence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegame26 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I've always thought from the begining that it would've been cheaper and more effective to just give every US Citizen over the age of 21 a check for $5,000. Let people do what they wanted with it. Those well off could have invested into the auto/banking industrys and so forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGWhatHaveIdone Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hey... if the porn industry gets their bailout money then you can bet that the legal brothel houses in NV will start saying they want "their" share too. What a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
