I was hoping this was a joke, but it seems to be very real. CNN is reporting that the porn industry is asking for bailout money from the federal government.It's specifically Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis that are requesting that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout to the adult entertainment industry.
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."
Okay, this sounds really silly to me - but apparently its serious enough where as its making national headlines. If Congress approves this and bypasses more small business owners like me and you who could allocate such funds to something a lot more meaningful, that would be a sad day in American history.
In my opinion, the porn industry stimulates everything - except the economy.

The only reason why this is a national headline is because it involves sex, and news orgs know that people will watch anything sex related that's presented as information or news. This is a joke, and there will be no porn bailout.
ReplyDeleteNews isn't really news anyway. It's entertainment.

ReplyDeleteIf they bail out this industry... if there is a such thing as hell... take a good guess where they going.
