With the financial industry, auto makers and more getting assistance from the federal government to stay afloat during the recession, the adult industry decided it would try to get something as well.
Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis and “Hustler” magazine publisher Larry Flynt have said they will petition Congress for financial aid along the lines of what the Big Three auto makers are getting.
Francis said that he and Flynt are asking for $5 billion, and that they have sent letters to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Congress and their local Congressman, Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) with the proposal.

I suspect there will be some stiff competition for the monies. We should keep a breast of developments

My suggestion to these two disgusting pigs is to sell their naked photos to gay men thereby hustling themselves for cash rather than screwing the public.

Fair is fair, if it will save jobs the government should go for it. I am sure Barney Frank will go to bat for them. ROFLMAO.

Lest we forget, the gov’t took over and tried to operate the Mustang Ranch in NV after it went bankrupt....... It appears the gov’t can’t even run a cathouse.

That's hilarious.

Actually, no it's not.

Perhaps Flynt needs a bailout because porn consumers get most of their material on the internet these days as opposed to buying smut magazines.
