pr0n industry seeks federal bailout

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 pr0n 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."

Fair points made imo.

If its good for one industry it should be good for another, but we all know govs are useless and dont work as they 'should'
 
More justified than the US auto industry bail out IMO. At least the pr0n industry will eventually make profits again in the future...

Yes. why not? I read recently that Mr Rudd's favourite strip club in Manhattan, Scores, went belly up. They blame the failed economy.

I understand that Mr Obama is going to bail them out in the interests of Australian-American relations.
 
How ironic, Big boy Ben & his pal Hank or was that wank Paulson should help out the pr0n industry as they are pr0n stars already doing to the public what is done in pr0n movies.
 
In presenting to senate / congress for bailout the Big 3 car bosses have to drive themselves there in hybrid vehicles and show the pollies what new models are in development.

So what kind of presentation is required for the pr0n industry to persuade bail out approval I wonder?? No doubt it needs to include up and coming models as well :D
 
I reckon that report is a spoof

Someone is pulling someones leg, for sure
 
well done mr flynt. showing up the stupidity that is government bailouts.

and yes mr capitalist, gav is very serious. the car industry will never make money in america. surely you dont agree with these socialist bailouts do you? :eek:

:D Got to be more exciting than the next things to come out of General Motors.
 
Well it's no different than the car industry. Engines have to suck, bang and blow to work too.

Exactly. Personally I think the US car industry will tank or need more and more bail outs not too far down the track. The money would be better spent re-training those in the failed industry.

No, enough money has been spent recently so I don't agree with throwing more & more money at The US auto industry bailouts. But it's still more justifiable than the pornography industry imo.

Though the car industry was looking for a bailout to stop it going down ... the pr0n industry is looking for a bailout so it can keep going down.:p:

I think you'll find the car industry scaling down and will just make the back seats.:D
 
Perhaps there might be an increase in cars with blowers. All turbo charged cars will now come standard with blow off valves too.

Oooh, and airbags will be available in optional shapes and sizes, only trouble is you have to blow them up yourself before an accident.

A bit of behind the scenes manouvering, some up close lobbying, and a bit of under the desk work should get it up.
