Adult Entertainment Industry Wants a Bailout

 

With the financial industry, auto makers and more getting assistance from the federal government to stay afloat during the recession, the adult industry decided it would try to get something as well.

 

Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis and “Hustler” magazine publisher Larry Flynt have said they will petition Congress for financial aid along the lines of what the Big Three auto makers are getting.

 

Francis said that he and Flynt are asking for $5 billion, and that they have sent letters to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Congress and their local Congressman, Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) with the proposal. Rep. Waxman's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

With the $5 billion, they would "invest in building new means of distribution, and shoring up our distribution right now to prevent further erosion from factors like Youporn and other Internet content that has seriously affected our business over the past few years," Francis said in an interview with FOX Business. "We will use the money wisely, and we will create more jobs."

 

Francis said that if invited, he and Flynt would drive across the country in a hybrid vehicle to present their plans to Congress.

 

The press release noted that DVD sales and rentals for the adult industry have decreased by 22% in the past year, partially because people are turning more and more to the Internet for adult content.

 

"People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt said in the press release. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."

 

Francis said he and Flynt would also be willing to discuss the possibility of the government buying equity stakes in their companies, as was done with financial firms.

 

"If the government would like to be a partner with Mr. Flynt and I, we’re certainly amenable to it," he said.

 

Flynt's representative said he was unavailable to comment for this article beyond the press release.

Uhm...yeah.

 

Kind of makes you afraid to ask Larry for a "ride" to work, know what I mean?

I can't help but think this is just a ploy. I know I've siphoned funds from other areas to make sure that my porn budget is still functioning at 100% of what I decided, many years ago, was an appropriate percentage of my annual income. sincere_wise-800.gif

Well, as Keith pointed out in MY thread on the subject (LOL) ol Larry is pretty obviously having a piss take at all the bailouts being requested. Although I know he'd take it if it was offered! Maybe Bill Clinton can step uo to the plate for him .... :bananamac:

    • We've got the Melbourne Cup long weekend here in Victoria, so I'm gonna try to write song number 9. In the meantime, I've been reworking some of the earlier stuff I've written.  I really lucked out when it came to the vocals on these 2. BTW Geoff, I'm sure you've noticed the new "Persona" feature. It allows you to use the same vocal and music style from a given track to generate future tracks or regenerate older tracks to create a more consistent album feel. I've just started mucking around with it and it seems to work reasonably well.     https://suno.com/song/b2bffabc-7db7-4aaf-89da-cd65f4bea051   https://suno.com/song/cd72f001-8c92-4efb-8133-c2b03743619a
    • Is it still just the original drummer? The dude who has said how much he disliked when the band went in a more melodic direction?    It’s solid metal, very cool music. But no hooks or notable choruses sadly makes it pretty easy to pass on. 
    • New song 'Artificial Minds'.    
    • New song 'Hurricane'.    
    • Fear the Force = Ten

Featuring their two Music For Nations albums, ‘Young And Crazy’ and ‘Bezerk’. Plus singles, rarities and live cuts. Forming in Cardiff in Wales in the mid-1980s, with Steevi Jaimz on vocals, Jay Pepper on lead guitar, Pepsi Tate on bass and Ace Finchum on drums Tigertailz recorded their snotty and street smart debut ‘Young And Crazy’ in 1987. Signing to influential heavy metal label, Music For Nations (Metallica, RATT), their first record is considered a classic of 1980s British glam and hair metal. As Wales’s answer to Mötley Crüe, through songs such as ‘Shoot To Kill’ and ‘Livin' Without You’, they found fans in the pages of Kerrang! and Sounds, the most influential rock and metal magazines of the time. The band found commercial success with the more radio friendly and commercially orientated ‘Bezerk’ in 1990, propelled into the Top 40 album charts by the single ‘Heaven’, plus the bubblegum classic ‘Love Bomb Baby’, a song that has become their calling card. Produced by Chris Tsangarides, the main change in the band for ‘Bezerk’ was Kim Hooker replacing original singer Steevi Jaimz on vocals. No slouches when it came to releasing singles and EPs, CD3 of this three disc set is a treasure trove of rarities and non-album cuts, kicking off with the ‘Shoot To Kill' EP, plus live versions of ‘Nine Livez’ and ‘She'z Too Hot’. Jump to December 2022 and a new dawn arose for Tigertailz, including a shows with Steel Panther, plus brand new singles. ‘Love Bomb Baby’ reignited interest in the band when it was used by famed Hollywood director James Gunn in his Peacemaker TV series for HBO. The band continues to show their diversity with their latest releases in 2024, ‘A Little Bit Of Rock’, proving there's more than just hairspray and eyeliner to these Welsh maniacs!
