I find some of the responses odd. Some of you are missing the point as one of the above posters stated.

We all know that the porn industry won't get money...which is exactly the problem with it. Picking and choosing who gets money is absolute BS. No one should get a dime of taxpayer money.

I also don't know why some are so despised by this...both the government and the porn industry are in the business of screwing people!

I for one, not attempting to play the Devil's Advocate here,
do agree with the logic behind this reasoning.

If banks and their directors can commit fraud, high crimes and misdemeanors, and get money,
ALL THE WHILE, in bed with the FED, Treasury (Paulson) and Foreign Investors, (keep in mind, the mindset now-a-days is to reward those thieves who get away with the most),
As if awarding billions to allow continued wrongdoing is much more logical than using laws in place (such as RICO) to prosecute these blatant mis-managers of our wealth, is the logical thing to do,

Then, it stands to reason that these other industries such as Porn,
who also are in bed together, should be awarded whatever they request.

In fact, it makes more sense to award bailouts to Porn providers than to banks because not only do they provide a service that is easier to understand than all the legal terms of instruments of the money lenders,
but they give us full discosure of what they do with the money.

If the banks, FED and Treasury were to follow the example of how the Porn industry conducts business, we would probably not be in this mess to begin with.

It is the snowball effect from the banking debocal that has harmed the porn industry anyways.

It is a true example of "trickle down" economics.

It just seems that what is trickling down in the porn world is metaphorically the equivelent of what is trickling down in the banking world.

In my opinion, of course.

Maybe we all should sign up for bailout money. Maybe we would get something or at least show them how dumb the whole idea is. That was the point of the porn bail out, they were trying to prove a point that the whole thing is a dumb idea. I am gettting sick of hearing the word BAILOUT

Amen to that. Ultimately it's up to the individual or group to bail themselves out. You know, with better business practices, actually learning how to run a business, how to manage and create more money, stuff like that.

Why should we even consider bailing out such things as banks or the porn industry? Banks steal from the public every day with their $39 late fees and $39 overdraft fees on a $1 overdraft. And porn companies are like drug dealers, profiting off of misery.

Banks and credit card companies should be paying the public back for their ridiculous fees, not getting bailout money.

See my post above if you want to know about some of the ugly stuff that happens in the porn business.
