Another Stimulus Package
The sex industry is now lining up for a government bailout.
They say sex sells, but erotic trade federation official Uwe Kaltenberg is asking the German government for financial help as sex shop owners and erotic film makers feel the pinch in tough economic times.
Schade. The proliferation of porn on the internet is taking jobs away from more traditional channels of trade. “German porn films are on a significant decline,” Kaltenberg said.
The article also notes that the Germans got the idea from Larry Flynt of Hustler fame and Joe Francis, publisher of the “Girls Gone Wild” series. Those two called on Congress “to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America.”
Congress taking charge of our sexual appetites? I suspect Congress has enough trouble with its own sexual appetites. And I don’t think Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are quite up to the task.
And besides, Larry Flynt may have done more to dull the appetites of his audience than anyone, pioneering a no-holds-barred approach to porn that shows everything, everywhere, all the time. He took the mystery out of sex, the peep out of peep shows, the tease out of striptease.
Flynt is spent. He has nothing left to offer, and it’s not for lack of money but rather lack of imagination.
