Economic Snapshot: How Would Larry Flynt Spend His Proposed Bailout?


		Our unscientific poll.

Citing Americans’ waning sexual appetites amid the country’s economic woes (adult DVD sales and rentals, for example, are down 22% for the year), Hustler founder Larry Flynt -- along with Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis -- recently asked Congress for a bailout of the pornography, er, sector.

The request -- for a whopping $5 billion -- is little more than a publicity stunt dreamed up by two men of equally ill repute. Still, with all the free money that’s been sloshing around lately, it got us thinking: How would Larry Flynt spend his proposed bailout?

How Would Larry Flynt Spend His Proposed Bailout?

Exclusive rights to use "Stimulus Package" as the title of an upcoming film.		Jerry Falwell's corpse for reasons to be revealed in a future issue.
Scotchgard. Lots of Scotchgard.		Casting calls for other actresses who bear uncanny resemblance to female Republican candidates.
Ladders, telephoto lenses and maps to local sorority chapters.		Glossier print to prevent adhesion.
Another Hustler Mansion. Failing that, a sensible 2-story townhouse with an above-ground pool.
