Is the porn industry up next for a bailout? If porn titans Joe Francis and Larry Flynt have anything to do with it, it will.
Yes, ladies and gentleman, the titans of pornography are begging for a bailout.
Joe Francis, creator of the "Girl's Gone Wild" video series, and Larry Flynt, founder of Hustler, will ask Congress for a $5 billion bailout, according to TMZ.
Why does the porn industry need a bailout? Because apparently even porn is getting smacked by the recession.

It sounds as if the Porn industry has really “shriveled up” and can no longer stand up on it's own in the face of a flaccid economy.;-D

Well, it is a vital strategic industry, after all. What we really need is a National Porn Reserve so that prices won’t rise out of control in times of national emergency.

It’s all for publicity. Apparently, it is working.
To: rabscuttle385
Why would Francis and Flynt want to associate with low-lifes like Congressmen?

After looking at your home page, I want a piece of the action!

Is there a porn worker union like the UAW?
Their behavior is so similar it can be confusing.

Well just damn!
Curiosity got me to go look, and as I browsed for my own opinion of your request for a bail out, I was starting to lean in your favor, and then it happened... that unsightly image registered in my head. My manhood instantly suffered the “Turtle Head Effect”...
No!! No bail out for you!

actually I think many companies will be using accounting manipulation to now blame all losses on the downturn in the ecconomy.
Just like GM was moving money on the balance sheets in order to create a financial problem.

I’m pretty sure that porn is not an essential to the U.S. economy or otherwise.Isn't the U.S. military handing out Viagra tablets to the Afgan honchos? Maybe you should re-think the dynamic and correlation factor.

Just like GM was moving money on the balance sheets in order to create a financial problem. Theft in a company goes up when employees feel the boss is stealing. This "bailout business" stuff is the same.
