Bailout for Porn Industry Next?

TMZ is reporting that 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."

Joe Francis was quoted as saying:

"Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration."
The Web site claims adult DVD sales are down 22 percent in a year, numbers which are sure to deflate expectations at this weekend's AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
