WASHINGTON (CNN) — 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.”

Larry Flynt is such a jokester :laugh:

[#98QBKiller]

Lol, good to see them making a statement.

[Vicious]

Sure why not, when I am running my business in the future and we go into a recession I am going to expect a bailout that my kids will have to pay for. Why should I be treated differently?

[wantarace17]

lmao how is the porn industry poor

[Kosher Ham]

Larry Flint>>>>Hugh Hefner.

It is not even close.

Flint has a pair.

(I am not even a porn guy)

[Skinz4Life12]

i would think the porn industry would be one of the last industries to be in financial trouble right now

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Tell me who actually picks up a magazine for their porn these days.

There's this thing called the intrawebs that's just amazing for it.

[PokerPacker]

nothing like the porn industry to make politicians squirm

[Kosher Ham]

Actually the alcohol business right now is just fine. Porn is a benefit, booze is a need.

[HOF44]

One bailout I could get behind! ;)

[FanboyOf91]

$5 billion? That's chump change...

...

(Now watch Paulson give it to him anyway)

[Predicto]

:secret: Flynt isn't actually looking for a bailout. He was making a political statement against bailouts.

[Stew]

I make my own. :)

:secret: Flynt isn't actually looking for a bailout. He was making a political statement against bailouts.

well that makes sense also.

so you don't think he is actually looking for a bailout, just to make a statement?

[Larry]

One bailout I could get behind! ;)

Yes, but would you have the common courtesy to offer a reach around?

[Bang]

Gotta love Larry Flynt.
The man's about as subtle as an atomic bomb.

~Bang

[daveakl]

what would I do with 5 billion?

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

[DButz65]

Bailout? Hell cut some costs/funds with me p0rn industry! I'll work for FREE! :D:D:D:D:D

[Bang]

:rotflmao:

Got me with that one. I don't even remember what movie that's from,, is it Half Baked?

~Bang

[KingGibbs]

Larry Flint>>>>Hugh Hefner.

It is not even close.

Flint has a pair.

(I am not even a porn guy)


Oh please. Hugh is pimp daddy. Ask any guy who they would rather be Hugh or Flint?

Hugh attracts beautiful women and Flint has skanks posing in his mag. At least that's what my friends tell me anyway.:D

[Mufumonk]

:rotflmao:

I think it is Office Space...could be wrong though.


...and Larry Flynt has always been the ultimate fighter for justice....he is a real American.

[KingGibbs]

~Bang

Nope. The classic Office Space. Love that movie.

[Rocky21]

Larry Flynt is such a jokester :laugh:Since he made Falwell the ******* of the month, he's been alright with me.

[GibbsFactor]

I love it!

We Redskins fans should request a bailout to buy out Danny and have something like Greenbay has.

[Cooked Crack]

i would think the porn industry would be one of the last industries to be in financial trouble right now
I don't understand how the porn industry hasn't been hit harder. Who exactly buys porn nowadays?

ive yet to see porn on blu ray....

[GibbsFactor]

ive yet to see porn on blu ray....

Would you really want to?

And I can see them needing it. I've never paid for porn.

[Misterwookas]

I still have a bumper sticker from when Larry Flynt tried to run for president in 1984. He is very political so he probably get involved with this. Hell, give me some of that money.

GO LARRY:applause:

[Johnny Punani]

:secret: Flynt isn't actually looking for a bailout. He was making a political statement against bailouts.

How do you know? Maybe he needs the money to upgrade his wheelchair.:silly:

[Big Blue Joe]

$5 billion? That's chump change...

...

(Now watch Paulson give it to him anyway)I couldn't blame him if he does. There are more than a couple of porn stars whose assets I wouldn't mind injecting my capital into.

From what I hear, the porn industry is one of the few industries that has actually experienced an uptick because of the downturn. In fact, I have heard that the demand for porn by females has increased by unheard of levels.
:D

[Toe Jam]

I certainly hope this.. ummm... comes to fruition.

[Meskeet21]

well **** i wouldnt mind. just gimme some brazzers on blu and im set :point2sky

[Darth Tater]

You know, I've heard that emotional bang from the big sale is like sex. Even when you are selling to yourself, you need presentation material.

[dreamshatterer]

Speaking of Larry Flynt, I watched the Who's Nailin Paylin? vid, not that good. Just thought I pass this info on.

It doesn't surprise me at all. With the economy down the tubes and when the cost of gas was up, people usually tend to stay in. Home entertainment probably went up.

[UtahSkinsFanatic]

Common people!! The porn industry is the greatest American exporter right now. Screw Detroit and Wall Street, I want my porn!!!! Plus getting porn on the computer will get you viruses and crap!!

You'll only get viruses if you don't use proper protection ;)

Best quotes I've read:


Gives a whole new meaning to the words "Stimulus Package"!


“The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn…

The Adult/Porn convention is out in Vegas right now. It just so happens to be the same time as the CES convention too. I'll actually be over at the Sands convention center today meeting with some of our lighting vendors. So it will be interesting to see what I see over at the Sands. :paranoid:

[Skinz4Life12]

^you live in vegas?

[Mickalino]

how about a bailout for the porn customers who are paying over $35 for DVD's now.

Not me.

Just people I know....and read about.
