a joke, surely

Porn industry seeks federal bailout.

FTA:

“With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. It’s time for congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly.”

Yes, this is definitely more important than dealing with the health care crisis or poverty or gang warfare or the fact that New Orleans is still vulnerable to severe flooding from anything stronger than a tropical friggin storm. This, yeah, this is *way* more imporant than the real estate crisis or troops going to war without proper equipment or global warming or cancer. Give them five billion, why not, no one else needs it.

Also, the implication in that statement is that people don’t have sex or are not interested in sex unless they’re using porn. Ever. =logic fail. People had sex before the internet and before Hustler magazine, believe it or not. Jesus H. Christ. This is flat-out retarded. But the article is a quotable goldmine.
