It’s true; from CNN we get all the important news.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — [1]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.”
Let’s be fair about this. They’ve been in serious financial doldrums ever since Bill Clinton left office, and Eliot Spitzer got busted. So much for the myth that sex is the only recession proof “industry”. Time was, you could drag a twenty around a trailer park and not have any problem at all with working up a little action. Jim Carville remembers. These days, according to Elliott, those girls… even the ones just taking pictures… they ask for real money.
