US Adult Porn Industry Needs Help

Check out this article on The Huffington Post: Porn Bailout: Larry Flynt, Joe Francis Seeking Government Money. An excerpt:

An article in next month's Atlantic asks, "Is porn recession proof?" According to porn magnate Larry Flynt and "Girls Gone Wild" king Joe Francis, the answer is no.

TMZ reports that the pornographer pair is heading to Washington to ask for a $5 billion porn bailout:

"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt says. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America."


Francis sees his industry like the big three automakers, only BIGGER: "Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration."


So, even they need a "stimulus package".

Hehehe. Sorry, sorry! This is a nonsense blogpost, completely unrelated to what I usually blog about, but I couldn't resist getting that joke in there. :D

Larry Flynt is and always has been a mordant wit.

I heard that in New York the sex shops are making a killing when the recession hit.
