Gerri Peev: Porn barons' bonkers request

If you thought it was mad for the uncompetitive US car industry to demand a bail out, what about the founder of Hustler wanting to hustle some cash out of the US government?
Magazine publisher Larry Flynt and Joe Francis, chief executive of Girls Gone Wild (as opposed to Boy Gone Mad) have issued a joint plea for Congress to er, pump 5 billion US dollars (£3.3 billion) into their industry. Confusingly, Mr Francis said the money was to “just to see us through hard times”.

It seems that the appetites of usual purveyors have been deflated by the economic downturn.
Mr Flynt said: "With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind.
“It is time for congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly.”

One assumes that the porn barons are teasing and it is highly unlikely that Barack Obama will allow himself to taken for a ride.

Perhaps they just need a stimulus.
