The Porn Industry Bailout & Our Culture
http://www.TableOfWisdom.com ^

Posted on 01/13/2009 11:24:39 AM PST by publius321

I heard on the news yesterday that the porn industry led by Larry Flint is seeking a “bailout” because free porn on the Internet is undermining their revenue. My initial reaction is that this is just Flint using his own absurdity to expose the absurdity of the bailout. That seems obvious but the sad thing is that I wouldn’t put it past this group in government to give them the money.

This is all a sign of the times. I can see posterity talking about our hedonism the way our current study of history points to that which precipitated the fall of Rome. It is sad to say - but even at this point most Americans STILL DON'T get it. We are shaking our fists blaming everybody but ourselves for the debacle in which we find ourselves. To be sure, Government and Wall have done wrong; however, the blind cannot see that they are nothing but a SAMPLE taken from a base, morally bankrupt society. Expect good government? You cannot squeeze virtue from vice. (continued at TableOfWisdom.com)

This is humour that practically writes itself.

Larry may be slime, but he sure knows how to get publicity. How many people are dumb enough to believe this (besides O’Reilly)?

This is one industry that the government really should pump some cash into. It would be arousing success.

These bailouts are obscene.

The porn industry and congress have a lot in common. A little imagination will tell us how and why.

As Jonathan Hoenig said on "Cashin In" about the porn and "big three" bailouts...

"You could easily make the argument that porn is a lot more innovative than the big three."
In the immortal words of Larry the Cable Guy:
"I don't care who you are, that's funny right there."

It has become clear to me that I chose the wrong title for this post. The column was quite serious but this post has become a nursery of double entendre!!!!
