More Bailout?

I wondered how long before someone came up with more bailout ideas for Congress. Why not keep bailing folks out? Pretty soon the government will have their hands in every businesses pockets LOL
LOS ANGELES

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and "GirlsGone Wild" founder Joe Francis announced Wednesday that they have asked Congress for a $5 billion federal bailout to help the adult entertainment industry during the economic downturn.
"People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt said. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."

"Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses," he said. "We feel we deserve the same consideration. In difficult economic times, Americans turn to entertainment for relief. More and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment."

According to Flynt and Francis, adult DVD sales and rentals have decreased by 22 percent in the past year.

Francis said the money for the $13 billion industry would be "just to see us through hard times."

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