Is the porn industry up next for a bailout? If porn titans Joe Francis and Larry Flynt have anything to do with it, it will. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the titans of pornography are begging for a bailout. Joe Francis, creator of the "Girl's Gone Wild" video series, and Larry Flynt, founder of Hustler, will ask Congress for a $5 billion bailout, according to TMZ.
Why does the porn industry need a bailout? Because apparently even porn is getting smacked by the recession. XXX DVD sales have taken a hit - about a 22% hit, according to TMZ. "With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt is quoted as saying on TMZ. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America."

I would sooner bail out the porn people than the Housing corporations. At least they provide a service that doesn't put you in foreclosure.
I don't need congress to rejuvenate my sexual appetite. If anything, they would kill it.
