The Porn Bailout

According to CNN, Larry Flynt is leading the charge for a $5 billion bailout for the porn industry.

Here is an excerpt:

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 sexually 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 sex.”

And they say satire is dead.

  • Rambie
    The poor porn industry is taking it right in the face... If you thought that was bad, it's not the words, it's just your dirty mind. :)

    I think Francis is nothing but an attention whore.

    Perhaps Flynt is being a muckraker like he was in the 70's & 80's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_vs._Lar...). I'm not defending his industry nor him at all. In his point is that the bailouts are a waste of taxpayer money and retarded then I do agree with him on this point.
  • I personally love this idea...It's about time the average companies try for their peice of the pie. If we can bail out banks and automakers...why not the porn industry? I'm sure their sales have dropped as well...if the government is handing out free money...why not right?
  • this adult social network needs a bail out haha http://www.xadultbook.com
  • I actually think it is very hard to earn money with porn these days, its not like the good ol days, we need a bail out too!
