Porn Industry Seeks Bailout, Yah Sure Way On

I supposed only in America can such things happen. I will be speechless if the American congress would actually put forth the motion in the halls of congress and grant the porn industry the bail out that they requested for.

LOS ANGELES - TWO porn moguls including Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt are seeking a US$5 billion (S$7.36 billion) bailout from Washington, arguing that the limp US economy has thrown cold water on the adult entertainment industry.

Flynt and 'Girls Gone Wild' video series creator Joe Francis asked the newly convened 111th Congress 'to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America' in a bailout move similar to the one set aside for US auto manufacturers.

'Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses, (and) we feel we deserve the same consideration,' Francis said in a statement. 'In difficult economic times, Americans turn to entertainment for relief.

More and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment.' The pair were quick to admit that 'the US$13 billion industry is in no fear of collapse, but why take chances?'

Francis, recently imprisoned for nearly a year on a prostitution-related charge after pleading no contest in a plea bargain, cited industry figures that show adult DVD sales and rentals decreasing 22 per cent in 2008, as people turn to the Internet for adult entertainment.

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

Flynt said people were 'too depressed to be sexually active.' 'This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such, but they cannot do without sex.' – AFP

It is the biggest joke at the turn of the new year, that is the only thing that I could think of. For the porn industry to ask for a bail out is shameless and unethical, but well what can you expect from a industry that has no moral standards whatsoever. I do have to admit that I am impressed that both the porn moguls have the audacity to actually ask for the bail out. What thing for certain it gives a whole new dimension to the term "STIMULUS' package.

Americans are too depressed to be sexually active ? To think about it, I think the economic depression could be the best thing for the environment. If people are too depressed to be sexually active then maybe, just maybe we can for control the population boom that has put a incurable strain on the earth's resources.

I would think that economic stimulus package bail out is to save an industry which would have an impact on thousands or millions of people or at least on a sizeable portion of the community and not to save the hides and asses of a few individuals who makes their millions and enjoy the wealth on the shameless exploitation of others. SHAME SHAME SHAME on the porn industry to even asked for a bail out and depriving that money from being used for something more meaningful. Just imagine what 5 billion could do to the education or pursuing the research on AIDS or even alternative energy sources.

If the American congress did actually grant the bail out, then I think there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
