i’m quite sure that the title alone has captured your attention and has made you wonder what the heck this post is about ;)! well, let me tell you that it’s definitely something i never thought i would read about, or even more – write about! but i came across this article on www.telegraph.co.uk, and although it’s dated january of last year – this ‘old news’ is still worth sharing today – believe me!

get this folks…

porn lord and founder of hustler magazine, larry flynt, asked washington for a $5 billion bailout in order to rejuvenate the porn industry which apparently suffered a big ‘blow’ due to the economic downturn. wait – there’s more! it seems that he, along with fellow adult mogul and creator of the girls gone wild video series, joe francis, teamed up and approached congress with the same request or financial assistance that was given to car manufacturers, banks and insurance companies! ‘rejuvenating the sexual appetite of america’ was their plea for help!

“in difficult economic times, americans turn to entertainment for relief. more and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment.”

in case you are still questioning if this is for real, i assure you – it is! read more about the plight of the porn industry…
