Porn Biz Needs Stimulation Amid Limp Economy
http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/business/Porn-Makers-Ask-Congress-for-5B-Bailout.html

First it was the banking industry, then the automakers. Will the adult entertainment industry be next?

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and "Girls Gone Wild" chief Joe Francis announced Wednesday that they have sent a joint request to Congress asking for a $5 billion federal bailout to help the adult entertainment industry weather difficult financial times.

The duo contend that while the industry is still viable, the sagging economy has had an impact.

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

7. When Credit Dries Up...
It's difficult to enter the market successfully. Some sort of stimulus is required, or it can be painful for all concerned.
