Now Porn?

OK, so if airlines get a bailout, banks get a bailout and the car companies, then why not the porn industry? Well, get this: crusty old pervert (and not in an endearing, Hugh Hefner kind of way) Larry Flynt and exploitative douchebag and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis are asking Congress for just that.

A bailout.

For the adult entertainment industry.

Flynt said this:

"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."

Um, well, good look with that, fellas- that's all I can say. Congress (wisely for once) has yet to respond to their request. I would just ignore it- if you don't care about porn all that much, then who cares? If, however, porn is something you find objectionable (good for you) then take heart- the adult entertainment industry isn't reeling from the economic downturn- it's the awesome power of the internet- and more precisely, the awesome power of just one site:

YouPorn.

YouPorn is killing the adult industry, because why pay for porn when you can see it for free- and more to the point, make it yourselves? Yes, the internet has collided with porn and it's revealed to the horny masses that absolutely anyone can be a porn star if they want to be.

Oh, and there's the whole watching loads of porn for free, too. That probably has some mass appeal, I'd guess.
