RedRider Posted January 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2009 Would this allow the government to screw us in the strict sense of the word? RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted January 10, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 10, 2009 So are we going to get a cut in profits from both these guys? Actually when I first saw this on the news I laughed, couldn't believe it. But then again if anyone has the nerve to ask it would be Flynt.

MiCarl Posted January 10, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 10, 2009 As part of the bailout each of us would receive a free DVD: "Taxpayers Screwed" starring Ben Dover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneck Posted January 10, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 10, 2009 I can see the law suits coming once they started giving bail outs they can not discriminate so the courts will require us to bail out anybody who asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted January 10, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 10, 2009 Wonder if they would bail out my 1st Gen Collection?? If I ever get time I have some Bling reserved for "UGLY" Paint her up like one of those "Ladies" mom warned me about!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopV Posted January 10, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 10, 2009 If the gov wants a bail out they should do it from the bottom up. That way we could pay off all our debt and the guys at the top would get paid and wouldnt need trilloins. Then we could all start all over again and have learned nothing at all.

Ivan Posted January 11, 2009 Share #14 Posted January 11, 2009 What a load of crap. Bailouts are a bad idea, but subsidizing porn? Maybe they should subsidize casinos and RJ Reynolds too. Or maybe they could just inject our kids with AIDS when they hit ninth grade, Give them a carton of cigs, and drop them off at the roulette wheel, and give them a ticket for free drinks and meth. Get them hooked on every damn addiction possible so the Dems can get that socialized health plan in full force. That way the government will have full control over our lives, and be able to decide who is healthy and who dies. Porn is way more important than finding cheap sources of oil in the US, keeping our rights granted in the Constitution from being stripped away, or feeding the destitute. "I am Janie Doe, your SRS case worker. Unfortunately, you made $2.50 last year which is $30,000 more than allowed for a family of eight to qualify for food stamps. Good news though, we have a year's subscription to Hustler and the full set of Girls Gone Wild DVDs. Make sure your kids watch them. Apparently The US was able to cut a better deal with Larry Flynt than with Piggly Wiggly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted January 11, 2009 What a load of crap. I think this just shows the absurdity of any bailout program. Who decides which industries are important and which ones can fail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmnChode Posted January 11, 2009 Share #16 Posted January 11, 2009 I think this just shows the absurdity of any bailout program. Who decides which industries are important and which ones can fail? Kinda my line of thinking as well...I think Flynt is just trying to make a point that if you bail out one, you need to be ready to bail out all, irregardless of it is. While I disagree with most of his political views, he does have a valid point on this one...scary enough, as is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesman Posted January 11, 2009 Share #17 Posted January 11, 2009 If the gov wants a bail out they should do it from the bottom up. That way we could pay off all our debt and the guys at the top would get paid and wouldnt need trilloins. Then we could all start all over again and have learned nothing at all. What a truly brilliant idea! Wow, if the government would pay off my mortgage, my credit card debts, my loans etc, think of all that credit that would be available to run out and buy more appliances, trucks and big screen TVs (not to mention porn!) and really stimulate the economy! Like, why are they bailing out those Wall Street 'hotshots' that got us into this mess in the first place? I'm struggling to keep ahead and those bast**rds still get to go home to their $25million dollar Rhode Island mansions and they don't even get their pee-pees slapped! Cripes!, my a@@ would be grass from my company for taking home a roll of toilet paper and they blow away billions? Bluez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtman Posted January 11, 2009 Share #19 Posted January 11, 2009 The bailout shouldn't be our worries its the business practice from CEO that got us to this point that we should. There is an Opinion write-up in the NY Times along these same lines. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/opinion/11rich.html?_r=1&ref=opinion The bottom line seems to be how mad do we have to get before we actually do something about it all.
