If General Motors and Chrysler deserve a bailout package from the federal government, so does the adult entertainment industry. That is the reasoning of Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt when he asked the U.S. Congress for a $5 billion bailout package to help the porn industry.
Flynt requested for a bailout package from Congress, together with Joe Francis, creator of the Girls Gone Wild video series. Francis explained, quoted by the U.K. Telegraph, "Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses, (and) we feel we deserve the same consideration."
