Banks, automakers - hell, why not pornographers? TMZ reports that Joe "Girls Gone Wild" Francis and Larry "Hustler" Flynt are asking Congress for $5 billion. They say that the adult entertainment industry has taken a huge hit because of the recession. "With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt says. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America." Sure, it's just a silly publicity move, but the larger point is worth noting. Just as some folks had feared, bailout mania has gotten totally out of control.
