Porn Bailout
   

January 7, 2009
Porn industry seeks federal bailout


From CNN's Rebecca Sinderbrand and Mark Preston

 
Larry Flynt is asking for a bailout.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — 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.

“The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three,” said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. “The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.”

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."

“We should be delivering [the request] by the end of today to our congressmen and [Secretary of the Treasury Henry] Paulson asking for this $5 billion dollar bailout,” he told CNN Wednesday.


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.

But the industry leaders said the issue is a nation in need. "People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt said in the statement. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."

"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."

So far, there has been no congressional reaction to the request.

Thanks all. I still haven't been feeling good since before Xmas. Just didn't want to say anything, but I am going to a new Dr. tomorrow. so we'll see.

The Ins. company is now trying to give us the run around. what a mess. i'll be so glad when this is over.

I think Black and Decker moved to China, too.

What do You think of this?

I guess I'm lucky where I live. I had never seen a "street" person. Now, last weekend and this weekend, i have seen 2. I think they were moving in the south direction. So sad.

I used to mix the nutra-cal and the AD in a large suringe when the cats wouldn't eat. It mixes well.
So very happy She is feeling better.

Beautiful cats. One looks like a Maine Coon, Pixie Bob mix. They are both beautiful. I have bobtails, too. One of mine is called Big Bubba. haha.

If anyone ever wants a bobtail, the spca around here is always calling Me to help them find the cats a home, which doesn't usually happen.

I love kittens, too. But We have so very many as We all know. So i'm going to take the news as good news.

It must have been there for a long time. they didn't touch the walls in the kitchen, meaning with water. And that's where they found it today. In the walls in the kitchen.
i'm wondering if it's half the trouble with My health?

My grandson just stopped in, and He and his boss are tearing down our house this week.
The boss said they found black mold in the walls. now, i am looking it up to see what this means? Just Great.

LONDON – Waterford Wedgwood PLC, the maker of classic china and crystal, filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday after attempts to restructure the struggling business or find a buyer failed.

Four administrators from business advisory firm Deloitte were appointed to run the company's businesses in Britain and Northern Ireland, while a Deloitte partner in the Irish Republic was appointed as receiver of Waterford Wedgwood PLC, the ultimate parent of the U.K. companies, and other Irish subsidiaries.

The U.K. joint administrators said they intended to continue to run the business as they seek a buyer. Trading in the company's shares was suspended on the Irish Stock Exchange where they languished at just one-tenth of a euro cent and the company's directors — including Anthony O'Reilly, the Irish publishing magnate who along with his brother-in-law Peter Goulandris owns more than half of all Waterford Wedgwood shares — handed in their resignations.

"Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton are quintessentially classic brands that represent a high quality product which is steeped in history," the administrators said in a statement. "The administration team will be working closely with management, customers and suppliers during this time to ensure operations continue whilst a sale of the business is sought."

Waterford Wedgwood, which employs around 7,700 worldwide, is the latest in a burgeoning list of iconic British companies to succumb to the global economic slowdown and credit squeeze. Department store veteran Woolworths, the queen's tailor Hardy Amies, tea and coffee merchant Whittard of Chelsea and fellow ceramics stalwart Royal Worcester and Spode have all filed for bankruptcy protection in recent months.

Oh, those poor dogs had to suffer so much. that's so sad.

USA made coffee.
