Porn Industry to Request Bailout
Hey, it's not hard on just banks and car makers out there now, you know.Purveyors of prurient photography and videos are getting screwed, too! The economic outlook is bleak for all entertainment right now. In this slippery environment, people are cutting back on even the most basic of solo pursuits. Apparently the porn industry is trying to push its way out of reams of red ink.
A spokesperson for Hustler's Larry Flynt gushed to CNN:
The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three. 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.
The CEO of Girls Gone Wild, Joe Francis piled on saying:
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.
While DVD sales have slipped, the bottom hasn't fallen out yet, but they want to be ready for the impending gyrations needed to keep their bottom lines intact. Larry Flynt himself spouted:
People are too depressed to be sexually active. 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.
No word yet on whether Congress will swallow this latest request for taxpayer money.

Well, why not? Pornographers have done far less harm to society than have Wall Street Bankers, so if we are bailing out these latter scoundrels, why not the former?

Well, they'll just have to make cuts like everyone else. Lay off some Ho's, use lower quality film, mark down the price of new straight-to-video DVDs, use lower price actresses with real breasts which sag and have stretch marks. And the poor Americans who are suffering due to the downturn in the porn industry will just have to use their imaginations, watch porn reruns, make homemade videos, hire a hooker once in a while. These are hard times for all of us, but a bailout for the porn industry is not the answer. Should some stupid, over paid Congressmen even venture to suggest this, I will lead the protest of their offices.

What has happened to our values in America? That's the real problem. The government, the banks, congress, even porn can't fix our problems. Unfortunately, too many Americans have either forgotten how to pray or just don't know how. I pray that our country will be saved by God's grace and will.

I'm LOL! The porn industry doesn't need a bailout, and it certainly doesn't deserve a bailout!
The next thing ya know, the hookers in Nevada will be wanting a bailout, followed by the drug dealers!
