Larry Flynt and associates in the adult pornographic business point to declining revenues and suggest that about $5 billion from the Troubled Assets Recovery Program fund be steered their way, giving rise to a new slogan on the Hill:

TARP for Tarts!

Flynt should retire and donate all his Hustler magazine inventory to bird owners, who can then take the magazine staples out and put the pages at the bottom of their pets' cages.

porn is so prevalent it's not even shocking, it is boring; about as as exciting as viewing autopsy photos.

TARP for Tarts-ha-Thanks for the chuckle

At least they're smart enough to realize if the government is handing out cash they might as well get in line. I'm no specialist in porn financing, but I think if I was an equity holder I'd rather my money be in adult entertainment than Detroit anyday.

I guess this puts new meaning to the term, Stimulus Package..

Sorry I couldn't resist!

Flynt has needed a stimulus for years.

Sorry, I could not resist, either.

Keep those double entendres flying!!

Jason,
at least Detroit isn't for, like, old men wearing raincoats and pimply teenagers.

Flynt can provide a product: a corporation could cut Hustler mags up and sell the confetti as cat litter.

Jason,
they're not "smart enough to realize" Flynts are cute enuff to get free publicity. Does it take a middle skool edukation to write a cutsie-pie press release?
God, these liberscumians!

come to think of it we might well be advised subsidize porn to the tune of billions,

hopefully porn will become so tiring to view that the public will forsake it. the reviewer of Last Exit to Brooklyn wrote "this book is so horrifying it should berpromoted, that way readers will lose interest in sex'

I don't think 'stimulus package' applies to Mr. Flynt anymore.

Say what you like about Flynt, at least he's putting out a product that somebody wants to buy. Maybe we should turn Chrysler over to Hustler. Buy a year's subscription and get a butt-ugly electric car that goes twenty miles per charge, thrown in free.

I'll bet his girls don't find him *hard* once they try to get to *know* him... A life of perversion really turned out to be a *pain in the neck* for the skin full of excretory matter that is Flynt.
