Porn industry asks for bail out

Import racer · 08-01-2009, 3:17 PM

Now the porn industry is now asking for a bail out

Just seen Ben dover on News 24 and Larry flint is also asking for money in the US.

Surprised no one else picked up the story first.

No new porn, there could be riots in the streets.
Looks like the world really is in trouble.

Surely the porn industry would survive a new ice age????

Are they serious?

*Craig_E* · 08-01-2009, 3:23 PM

lol, is this for real?!

Wow, found it on the BBC site: BBC NEWS | Business | Porn bosses bid for bail out

Maybe with the money saved from the interest rate cut I should buy some XXX to help these poor guys out!

Well, the government did bail out the ******s who run the banks

Best excuse to buy porn yet - "but honey I'm just doing my bit for the world economy to recover"

Newton's Ring · 08-01-2009, 3:47 PM

I'll give them a help out. They don't even need to pay me.

fizzi · 08-01-2009, 3:50 PM

What a bare faced cheek!

SimonH · 08-01-2009, 3:52 PM

They should just suck it up.

mij · 08-01-2009, 3:53 PM

Well we have been shafted by the bankers, so we may as well be screwed by the W*****s.

smallclanger · 08-01-2009, 3:55 PM

That's hard to swallow

Watched a documentary on Larry Flint that was on anytime, didn't realise he was such a political activist, or that he had exposed 3 senators for adultery who where trying to impeach Clinton for the same thing or that he exposed (uhumm) that US rescue of the the female soldier that the Iraqi's had captured was infact completely faked.

So no doubt hes making some political point. I do remember reading the turnover of the American adult industry is higher than that of Hollywood in which case that's some serious tax revenue it creates.

Even the ability to produce their own money shots can't save them, a sad day indeed.

Epicurus · 08-01-2009, 5:08 PM

I'll happily work for them for free if it helps out.

Duncan G · 08-01-2009, 5:47 PM

It's shocking that the porn industry have to ask for a hand out to fill a large hole in their finances, who would have thought hard times would be unwelcome by the porn barons.

I'm sure forum members will bend over backwards to help and put their hand out to shake some life into it. Make sure you have your tissues ready as there's likely to be a lot of moisture to mop up from wet eyes when the squeeze grips.

wormvortex · 08-01-2009, 5:51 PM

TBH do people actually buy porn? Or is it just the ones that haven't heard of google and rapidshare

Squiffy · 08-01-2009, 5:53 PM

Come on guys.... This is just a publicity stunt, and making a political statement to boot.

Caskey · 08-01-2009, 6:04 PM

This has restored my faith in humanity

I cannot believe that Ben Dover (who always reminds me of an older Ian Waite, Strictly Fans) was talking business diversity on BBC NEWS 24.

The funny thing is he's right in what he says about how piracy is crippling his industry and the fact that his field of work is one of the most lucrative in the UK.

However, can't see any government help coming his way (so to speak).

I'm gonna have to watch that clip again. I still can't get my head round this. It's so ****ing funny yet true!

XoD.

BenchyUK · 08-01-2009, 7:02 PM

Strewth!

Did you know that Ben Dover (talking in that BBC video) is the dad of Tyger Drew-Honey who plays Jake (the older son) in the brilliant Outnumbered?
