Porn bailout: Debbie does Washington?

I guess it’s not just another stunt by Larry Flynt. The porn industry is hurting as the downturn bites. Sales are down 20%. And the annual Porn convention, the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, going on now in guess which city has seen a sharp fall in traffic. Apparently, the porn industry is not recession-proof.

So, pornographers are now asking for a bailout too. They figure: “hey, if bankrupt automakers can get their hands on some TARP funds, why can’t the Porn industry too?” Take a look at the video from CNBC.

“I spent most of my professional life in this building. Watching the politics of the things we did in the past financial crises in Mexico and Asia had a powerful effect on me. The surveys were 9-to-1 against almost everything that helped contain the damage. And I watched exceptionally capable people just get killed in the court of public opinion as they defended those policies on the Hill. This is a necessary part of the office, certainly in financial crises. I think this really says something important about the president, not about me. The test is whether you have people willing to do the things that are deeply unpopular, deeply hard to understand, knowing that they\\\'re necessary to do and better than the alternatives. We\\\'ll be judged on how we dealt with the things that were broken in the country. We broke the back of the worst financial panic in three generations, more effectively and at a much lower cost than I think anybody thought was possible.”
-- Tim Geithner, Dec 2009
