Porn Industry Wants Bail-Out

The United States Of America prides herself as the nation of equality, which means every person should be treated equally no matter their race or creed.

The world economy has been on the downward trend for months, many blue chip companies have had to downsize or even bought over.

In the light of this the US government spent several billions of dollars to bail out some firms which are critical to economy of the nation.

Other sectors are asking the government to extend such gesture to them such is the adult entertainment industry.

Read along to see what US porn chiefs has to say regarding bail-out:


Hard times for US porn industry

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild chief executive Joe Francis issued a joint plea for Congress to pump £3.3 billion into the sector.

They claim that the economic downturn is hitting the porn business and that federal assistance is needed to boost the nation's sex drive.

The pair added that they deserve the same treatment offered to banks and the car industry.

Mr Francis said the cash injection was needed "just to see us through hard times".

"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."

But according to Mr Flynt, economic woes have led to a flagging national sex drive.

Mr Flynt said: "People are too depressed to be sexually active. This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex.

"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind.

He added: "It is 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."

Anti-porn campaigners said that they were not treating the request seriously.

Michael DePrimo, spokesman for the American Family Association, said: "Obviously they are being facetious. It is very much tongue-in-cheek - Larry Flynt has a sense of humour.

"But the fact that he is mocking Congress is not unreasonable."
