Porn Industry Seeks Government Fluffer















The porn industry is facing hard, er, times just like everyone else. According to CNN, Hustler's Larry Flynt is looking to get in on the government bailout game.
“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.”

Joe Francis of "Girls Gone Wild" fame will also seek money as well.

Personally? I think they should get the money. I think Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson should say, "I think you dropped something", and when Larry's spokesperson bends over to pick the $5 billion off the floor, we'd hear the signature "bom chika wow wow" we've grown to love.

I thought you were joking. I just finished watching tonight's Laker game (go Lakers) and sure enough KCAL's top story after the game... porn bailout.

I thought porn was one of the recession proof industries like guns, alcohol and gynecology. I guess they need a shot of money for more money shots.

If you ever make it to 90 years of age, I get the feeling that you will still be using "bom chika wow wow" in your jokes. That is never not funny!

BTW, I'm for the bailout, if it's good enough for banks and auto's, it's good enough for porn.

The only thing about this is that I would have a hard time believing - economy or no - that at least the internet porn industry isn't at full swell and ready to; well bloom.
