Porn Kings Larry Flynt & Joe Francis Want A Five Billion Dollar Bailout

“Hustler” founder Larry Flynt and “Girls Gone Wild” entrepreneur Joe Francis are going to Congress to get themselves their very own bailout – to the tune of $5 billion.

America, the economy is failing. The banks are going to crap and the automakers were groveling at the feet of Congress for some bailout money. Joe Francis and Larry Flynt want you to know that the porn industry needs your help.

You’d think that with the economic crisis going full force, people would be looking to porn or alcohol (or sometimes both), but apparently that’s not the case.

Flynt and Francis are teaming up and taking their case to Congress for a heft $5 billion bailout. They’re claiming that the adult entertainment industry has taken a hit because of the economic downturn and that DVD sales are down 22% from last year.

Flynt says, “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.”

Francis sees the industry like the automakers, only much bigger. He says, “Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation’s most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration.”

What do you think, should we fund this?
