[Hardcz]

HAH! That is totally awesome. Though I don't agree with them wasting taxes dollars and time with that BS.

[markem]

I bet that they get shafted on the bailout request :rolleyes:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Another major American industry is asking for assistance as the global financial crisis continues: Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said Wednesday they will request that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry.

“The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three,” said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. “The pØrn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.”

Francis said in a statement that “the US government should actively support the adult industry's survival and growth, just as it feels the need to support any other industry cherished by the American people."

“We should be delivering [the request] by the end of today to our congressmen and [Secretary of the Treasury Henry] Paulson asking for this $5 billion dollar bailout,” he told CNN Wednesday.


Flynt and Francis concede the industry itself is in no financial danger — DVD sales have slipped over the past year, but Web traffic has continued to grow.

But the industry leaders said the issue is a nation in need. "People are too depressed to be $exually active," Flynt said in the statement. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without $ex."

"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, $ex is the farthest thing from their mind. It's time for congress to rejuvenate the $exual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly."

So far, there has been no congressional reaction to the request.

Why should anyone be surprised? And, no doubt Congress will spend time debating this, too!

[MithShrike]

Meh, I just don't see how the adult video industry is that critical to the United States economy. Besides, I got free videos...

[MikeyC]

Why do people like this insist on wasting the time of our government? The **** industry according to the article is quite healthy.

Please convince my wife of that!

And why not? Most every one elected in D.C. is a masterdebater...

To make a point at how absurd these bailouts are. Joe Citizen wanted nothing do do with bailing out Financial Institutions and Private Industry. I hope it opens peoples eyes to what's become of our Government...

[mrreindeer]

Yeah, I mean, really, like, check out the easy application: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/Federal_Bail_Out_Applic1.pdf

So, they're protesting the misappropriation of funds by the government by wasting more time & money? Yeah. That's a good point. :tu

I think the :rolleyes: smiley would have been more appropriate. I think MikeyC was trying to say it is stupid for the adult entertainment idustry to protest misappropriation of gov't funds by having them waste more by having to deal with their protest.

By protesting and revolutionizing throughout history AT ANY COST, our forefathers have won many freedoms and rights we now enjoy today....The same freedoms that are slowly being taken away from us daily by an ever increasing Socialist Government. These misappropriations need to be brought to peoples attention if anything is ever going to change.

A REVOLUTION DOESNT HAVE TO BE A VIOLENT ONE IN ORDER TO CHANGE GOVERNMENT POLICY...AND I SMELL A REVOLUTION COMING AS OF LATE.. :ss

Great statement:tpd:

[acarr]

I think we need this bailout for sure. In addition, all the doctors, attorney's, CPA's, and engineers need one. For all you poor saps that can't afford a lobby to protect your interests...tough $h1t!

GGW, really? They make a killing off doing events at random bars don't they? Perhaps DVD sales are down, but there are always "hot, naked, college girls" at all these bars, and the last time I checked they were free...unlike the girls I...nevermind. Filming girls while they flash your camera is free, you don't even have to use a good camera (do they even make noodie movies in HD yet?), and it costs very little to press DVD's. How could that possibly have gone wrong?

I have the answer. Commercials. Lets be honest. I'll use an equation (I suck at math but this seems simple). Length of commercial X wild girls - tiny little censors - awkward steel drum music for things that are not at all tropical or Caribbean = enough to not even need to purchase the DVD by the time it is over. Add the 5 times that commercial shows during a 30 minute show on Comedy Central....you catch my drift. I think I have found my calling. You're welcome. :rolleyes:

Agreed, I gained a ton of respect for the people who did that.

Just as much as I could live with out **** *did I just say that* I could live with out companies that dug their own grave.

I think this is a GREAT movement and I applaud them for it.

In an industry that's so edgy they can get away with it, I think it's great that took that swing.

Think I can get a bailout to pay off my mortgage and my vehicles and also have a walk-in built in my home and have it fully stocked?:D It would be the cheapest bailout request so far.

Obama said he's got that covered right?

[taltos]

This is the first bail out that makes sense especially if the wankers in Congress are given a lifetime supply of smut films. I would rather have them watch this stuff while in session than spend their time passing more moronic laws.:fl
