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 would tell them to run it by hand till they can afford some help. Maybe we will get lucky and Mr. Porn King Lary Flynt will blow his brains out like a Real Estate Exec just did.

Obviouly not or their business would be better and they wouldn’t have to beg for money from the Dims. Maybe this is Flynt’s way of getting money out of the Dims that he feels they owe him for attacking Conservatives all these years.

I say if they can’t whip up enough business in this industry then they are limp and should just roll over and go to sleep. Larry Flynt doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

“Well, at least they make a product that people want.”

If that’s true, they don’t need our help.

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

Bingo! Magazines and DVDs are the just like Dinosaur Media.

Maybe, but I am sure there are some nice young ladies there would could use some guidance and support.

What would Ron Jeremy do? Odds are anything he did would be more productive and beneficial than congress and the empty suit.

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

I think that the whole situation just sucks.
