Bailout For Porn Industry? Now We’ve Heard Everything…
EmailWe suppose anyone can ask for federal rescue money. That seems to be what a pair of porn industry titans were thinking, anyway.
Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, and Joe Francis, producer of the "Girls Gone Wild" videos, have said they are asking Congress for $5 billion in federal assistance, asserting that the adult entertainment industry was hit by the recession, which "has acted like a national cold shower."
So they want some, er, stimulus. More here…

So would it be accurate to say that the porn industry has “gone soft?”

This certainly fits into the late Justice Stewart’s definition of pornography as you know it when you see it. A bailout here would be yet another dirty joke on the American people.

In this difficult times is when we need to be as far as possible from unproductive things like pornography. And as close as ever, to God and family.

It would truly be obscene if the porn business was bailed out.

What? Does the porn industry bring in more revenue to the USA than the Big 3?

It only stands to reason that the democratic backbone would belly up to the trough and get their pork or sausage. Come one come all to the democratic bailout barbeque. We need more of these liberal icons stepping forward.

Larry Flynt is loaded. Check his gambling bills in Vegas. I guess he needs a new stake!!
What happened to the Israeli war on the poor people?
Did it finish? Or are the Jewish editors and owners of this station being shamed/fed-up with truths of Iraeli’s being mass murderers of infants and children?
PS The land that the Jews are fighting for isn’t even theirs anyway. 90% of all Jews are Khazarain Jews, converts, and are originally from Khazaria, near the Black sea some 1000 miles away. So whats it all about Mr Rothchild?
