Well, it should be interesting to see who becomes the Czar of Porn to make sure any bailout is transparent:)

Why the porn industry would be out?

The ‘bailout’ isn’t a solution to temporary problems of cash flow in organizations? The adult entertainment business also has its cash flow problems and don’t want to ’stay out’ of the package of aid and call for a ’stimulus’ financial.

But we cann’t forget the controversy in the bailout because the cause of failure can be regarded as failure to meet the consumer and, therefore, would be a government intervention in the market, overriding the will of consumers. Do consumers of adult entertainment are dissatisfied?

Jokes aside, the porn industry to have the right to ask for the bailout, but I believe there are other companies, with basic needs, which should have greater priority in the bailout.

P.S.
It’s a horrible excuse that because of the economic crisis, people are too depressed to be sexually active, and therefore it is time the Congress to rejuvenate sexual appetite of America.
Children, sex, provided that insurance doesn’t generate spending. Or generates? (Laughing…)

Erica,
This is one of those stories that you can hear only in America. Some people believe that is necessary to make a distinction between love, infatuation, and pornography. I found pornography not more than an obscenity that makes sex to looks as a disgusting performance, extremely unpleasant to the senses and feelings.
No doubt that sex can be a great therapy and a rescue adventure for people that suffer from depression and unhappiness, but if that follows their heart.
Thank you and a great compliment for your beauty and your high spirits. AC360 is slow without you.
