So first we have the bailout of the Banking Industry, then we have the Auto fat-cats begging the government for more money… And now for the Third: The Porn Industry

Hustler’s Larry Flynt and “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis are asking for a $5 billion federal bailout of adult entertainment because “the economy has made America’s appetite for sex go limp”.

We may have though that the sex industry was as recession proof as they come, but apparently sales are way down. This may be partly due to the free alternatives so widely available, not to mentioned piracy, so people just don’t bother shelling out any more.
