Porn industry seeks federal bailout. I'm not kidding.

[240 is Back]

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 by the end of today to our congressmen and Paulson asking for this $5 billion dollar bailout,” he told CNN Wednesday.

I'm not seeing how these porn companies can be hit that hard?  There are a lot more important industries that are vital to the health of the US economy that haven't got ant bailout yet


I did my part to help the industry..I spent that 600 dollar stimulus check at the nuddy bar

Are porn actors unionized like Hollywood actors?

Unions can't be allowed to go broke! The porn industry affects 80% of all Americans! It's a VITAL industry..


Might as well use Detroits' arguments... eh?

Are porn actors unionized?  LMAO!  Yeah buddy.......they are real unionized.  Bitches sucking cock for money and shooting blow up their nose all so they can employ a healthy work enivornment and fair wages.  I think unionization is the last thing on a bitches mind when 6 guys are jizzing all over her ass.

It was a real question.

Hell, if UPS warehouse bitches and Safeway baggers can be unionized... why can't Sacha Gray, Kasey Kox and Jenna?

They could try, but the reality is that there's always someone who will cross the picket line today and one cum dumpster is as valid as the next in a porn flick.

I have a lot of respect for Safeway baggers and UPS warehouse bitches......unionized or not.  Not everyone can go to college and major in Psychology.
