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.

with such classy videos....

What do they want, an influx of silicone, government support for sagging... well anatomy, guarantees that curves will not transition into sagging appeal, fixes for limp product placement?

Buck up porn masters. Fresh flesh is always just ahead, and at least one acting lesson, and perhaps 9th grade level plot lines could help turn things around.

Apparently profits have been flaccid as of late.

You need to ping Ron Jeremy

[TheWasteLand]

They want government pork?

[Sig Sauer P220]

No way they should get a bailout. They’d just find a way to blow it.

[Allegra]

Actually, no it's not.

I figured that.

That was my way of experssing how freakin' ludicrous this whole thing is.

[weegee]

I guess Larr Flynt shouldn’t have been offering millions for dirt on Republicans.

[Ancesthntr]

C’mon people, these entrepreneurs just want what everyone else does...a hand-job, errrrr, hand-out, yeah, a hand-OUT, that’s the ticket.

[Doctor Raoul]

Help it’s fallen and it can’t get up...

What amazes me is that nobody is talking about the collapse of Satyam today. That's gotta hurt the offshoring movement.

Seems as though everything is collapsing at once.

[Flycatcher]

This is satire. Right?

No, what is satire is the whole socialist bail-out mentality that has infected our government.

Sadly, this is the denouement to that satire.

[mad_as_he$$]

I hope Larry Flint pushes this all the way to the Supremes. The unfairness of the bail out mania is disgusting.

What amazes me is that nobody is talking about the collapse of Satyam today. That's gotta hurt the offshoring movement.<

I haven't heard anything about that. I'm overseas and I recoil at the thought of turning on the news since about...oh...November 5th. I get most of my news from here on FR and from the Stars and Stripes now.

Is there a link or a thread about this?

Thanks.

[Martin Tell]

Too big to fail?

The jokes write themselves.

[numberonepal]

hey want government pork?

It's better than being porked by the guvmint.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

If the Constitution was still in effect they might have a case under the 14th ammendment (Equal Protection Clause).
The thought being that it’s not fair to protect one business from failing while ignoring another.

[Political Junkie Too]

No thread but it's all over the financial news. Major Enron-type scandal -- CEO resigned -- cooked books -- stock suspended on all exchanges.

Large stimulus package required.
