Porn Industry Bailout???

From the "You've got to be kidding me" Department:

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.


On what basis can they make such a request, you may be asking yourself:


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."


I will lose all faith in the American government if this is approved. I don't think it will, but I'm ashamed that it even crossed their minds as a possibility...
