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."

On a serious note (sorry, just have to inject this), "why not". Aside from any moral objections the population may have, lately it seems that our politicians are all about helping any suffering industry get back on top. Either to make themselves feel good or buy votes. What ever happened to our taking care of ourselves (may come to this), refusing all Government handouts and making a life with our own two hands (at least in my case :D)?

Just a thought with this obviously Flinty proposition:rotz:

I think its great they are asking. No matter if you like them or not they both have been jacked around by the system and goverment in years past. I think this is a good way to poke them right back in their eye.

Doesn't surprise me.  That whole industry has been going down for years.

Most of the population was probably caused by it...

Is this serious?  The porn industry needs a bailout?


Damn, times are tough!
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

Why not? Why not bail everyone out? If I'm doing my math right and the S&L industry is getting a $700 billion bailout, the auto industry is getting a $34 billion bailout that's $734 billion. Divide that by roughly 115 million housholds in the US and each one could have gotten a check for more than $30k. Am I right?

Then we all could have spent most of or some of that $30k to bail out the porn industry ourselves!   :scratchchin:   :icon_smile_big:

However you want to look at it, it would definitely do more stimulate the economy the way they'd like it to.

If you were to do that it would come out to around $6,300 a household.

We can't let this industry die!! Where would I get my entertainment from.  :D

I will move to Canada if it goes limp.

I'd take that too.

Todd Wilson

If they really wanted to try and kick start the economy they need to send out some real amount of $. Heck if I didnt have a house payment I would go to the Dodge dealer today and buy a brand new 40g diesel  pickup.  And get a subscription to Hustler! They dont have the $ to send us 1500$ let alone 100grand so whats difference?!

I dont see why not...the government already bailed out a bunch of c--ksuckers that f--ked over a lot of people. What, I ask you, is the difference then?

Then again, I hope the government doesn't blow all of it's wad rescuing everybody.

I think the raw principle of the porn industry seeking a bailout is hilarious.

That's a lot of money to stimulate genitalia. Much cheaper to just buy Viagra lol
