    [SIZE="4"]**** Industry seeks Federal Bailout[/SIZE]

    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 **** 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.”

    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."

    “We should be delivering [the request] by the end of today to our congressmen and [Secretary of the Treasury Henry] Paulson asking for this $5 billion dollar bailout,” he told CNN Wednesday.


    Flynt and Francis concede the industry itself is in no financial danger — DVD sales have slipped over the past year, but Web traffic has continued to grow.

    But the industry leaders said the issue is a nation in need. "People are too depressed to be ***ually active," Flynt said in the statement. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without ***."

    "With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, *** is the farthest thing from their mind. It's time for congress to rejuvenate the ***ual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly."

    So far, there has been no congressional reaction to the request.

    With or without federal bail out, the **** industry will survive. Its just the big players of the **** industry (like Hustler & Playboy magazine) that will have to downsize to survive in a shifting market.

    **** Kings to D.C. - Help Us Through Hard Times
    Posted Jan 7th 2009 12:15PM by TMZ Staff

    Joe Francis and Larry Flynt claim the economy has made America's ***ual appetite go limp, so they're going to the one place where *** is always rampant -- Congress.

    Flynt (the "Hustler" guy) and Francis (the "Girls Gone Wild" dude) are asking the government for a $5 billion bailout, claiming the adult entertainment industry has taken a huge shot to the face because of the downturn -- citing the fact that XXX DVD sales are down 22% from a year ago.

    "With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, *** is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt says. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the ***ual appetite of America."

    Francis sees his industry like the big three automakers, only BIGGER: "Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration."

    Francis says he's going to D.C. to personally make the pitch. Sounds like someone has a bone to pick.

    Hehehe,- bailout daw....

    Ayos itong si Larry Flynt,- earlier, nagdemanda ng 2 niyang pamangkin(?) dahil ginamit ang "Flynt" sa pangalan ng itinayo nitong **** company. Ngayon naman, bailout ang hanap sa gobyerno.

    At hanep sa mga argumento...... :hysterical:

    Nasaan kaya si Hefner ?....
