In a move that has the potential to be the most egregious story of this entire massive bailout madness the porn industry will ask for a 5 billion dollar bailout.
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.
So, this request has created the potential for the government to not only prop up a dying industry and one of the most dispicable and disgusting industries to ever grace the face of our fair planet. If this passes, and anything seems possible in this climate, it will represent just how far we have fallen and just how hard conservatives will have to fight to gain back any ground.
But wait, is the porn industry dying at all? Does it even need free money to stay profitable? Well, according to the reject making the request for money, no:
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.
I guess it takes the audacity of a pornographer to ask for 5 billion in money you don’t even need. Lets hope that the dems don’t have the audacity to do what the pornographers suggest:
“With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. 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.”
Bailouts for worthwhile and respectable industries that actually need them are irresponsible enough. We certainly don’t any for deplorable industries that just want free money to spread their filth.
As a devout Catholic, I bet that the proposal of a lust-laden industry is sooooooo smarmy! It’s malarkey enough that it gets to the point where I’m protesting the concept. No wonder why even little girls in kindergarten dress up in skimpy clothes nowadays. Where’s Pure Fashion where I need them?
To foster my opposition towards pornography, I would have the guts to persuade Disney Parks to organize “Family Media Week,” which coincides with WRAP (White Ribbons Against Pornography) Week, just as they did with Disney Gay Days. How about a rosary rally which petitions the Immaculate Conception (our patron), Saint Clare (who patronizes the screened media), and the Holy Infant of Cebu (whose feast day would fall a week after this upcoming Sunday) to pray for the demise of the smutty malarkey who needs a bailout. I don’t want to shell out more money just to assist one of the seven deadly sins (lust, to be exact) because they need a bailout!
