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

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..

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.

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? It would be the cheapest bailout request so far.

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.
