Perhaps one of the greatest headlines of all time. Porn sales go limp and the industry has the balls to ask for a hand… stimulus… package. :squint ![http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/07/art.flynt.gi.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/1/a1009c7e72f511df636d4083f50791a363c8a3c9.png) > Porn kings Larry Flynt and Joe Francis are calling on the US government to revive the sex lives of Americans by providing a $5 billion bailout of the country’s adult entertainment industry. > > Hustler magazine publisher Flynt and Girls Gone Wild founder Francis have sent a joint request to the Government asking for the bailout to help them ride out the economic crisis, website News Blaze is reporting. > > The pair said while the porn industry was still viable, the economic crunch had taken its toll. > > Francis said as the government was prepared to bail out other faltering industries such as car-manufacturers, they should be willing to help the porn industry. > > “Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation’s most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration,” the statement is reported to have said. > > Flynt said the downturn was having an unhealthy affect on the sexual appetites of Americans. > > “People are too depressed to be sexually active,” the website reported him as saying. > > “This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex.” > > “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,” he said. ---
