The
Porn Industry requesting a bailout is as absurd as the Tobacco Industry requesting a bailout due to a drop in sales from New Year's Resolutions! I can hear Big Tobacoo now...(puff) "Americans can do without cars and such, but they cannot do without the dopamine delivered through a cigarette" (puff). Imagine if all the people in America deciding to quit smoking? Pollution would drop, respiratory problems would fall, cancer diagnoses would dissipate. People could live healthier lives but the Medical Industry could plummet.
So what if America quit its porn addiction? As a Southern California native, I have heard that Chatsworth, California is known as the porn capital of the world. Besides the surplus of well-proportioned fast food cashiers, what would happen if America abstained from the porn industry? The Divorce Industry would suffer! Online pornography plays a "significant role"
in over half of marriages that end in divorce. I don't know if America could handle this! Well, you can give away your hard earned change to the homeless lawyer on the street as you leave In-N-Out with a tasty burger...
Larry Flynt definitely gives new connotation to words "stimulus package." Personally, this is one package I would like to see become frigid!
