rch10007 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 From: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ Full URL: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/07/porn-industry-seeks-federal-bailout/#more-34724 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.

jerrodh Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hustler and Girls Gone Wild definitely have the wrong idea about the industry. They need to give the shit for free or damn near close to it to prosper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 The owner of GGW has his own private jet. This can't be serious. So did the big three CEOs, but they're still getting some. Hell, I see their point, it is a big business...but I'd never vote for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
