Porn Industry Wants Some Bailout Cherries Too

The founder of Hustler, Larry Flynt, and Girls Gone Wild founder, Joe Francis, line up at the taxpayer trough for some of those bailout fun funds. I guess all that free porn all over the internets has cut into their businesses as well so they want to screw the taxpayer so they can keep screwing.

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 porn 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.

I guess hobos need their reading material too since they don't have computers to get all the free stuff. I don't have a problem with porn as a normal dude I have looked at plenty of it though I was never a fan of Hustler or the really hardcore stuff and have never seen any of the Girls Gone Wild videos. I do however report porn spammers to their internet providers because I hate spam. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic but after all what would the folks over at AoSHQ do with their hands if the porn industry went under.

Cap'n Ed puts it best though.
