How about that $5 billion to bail out the porn industry? Good idea? or bad idea?
Frankly, I don't believe the industry is actually hurtin' because when people lose their jobs and have no money to spend to go out, don't they just stay home and amuse themselves? It's cheaper. I'm no economist and no pornographer, but like pawn shops and Wal-mart, the porn industry must be one of those whose fortunes run counter to the rest of the economy.
This being said, $5 billion is not that much, when the whole package is likely to run over a trillion. Which reminds me, at lunch this week, I said I didn't even know what a trillion really meant, and a friend said "twelve zeros" but that still doesn't help me understand the concept of a trillion dollars.
Isn't the porn industry, in fact, a bigger biz than the "legitimate" entertainment biz? Or is that a myth? Perhaps someone reading this who is in some way connected with show biz could advise. (Peers into distance.)

Its not so much that the porn industry asked for a bailout,but all the headlines that went with it! "porn industry seeks relief", well, you all know what I mean.....those journos must have been beside themselves with this story....(I can't think of an appropriate pun for this post, sorry)
Dont forget "stimulus package" Always good for a laugh.
