RSSPorn Industry Seeks Federal Bail Out Assistance … Fed $’s, the New Viagra … Porn on Hard Times?
Some stories just write themselves.
Only in America … from the satirical truth is stranger than fiction category comes the 
Porn industry asking why they can’t get federal bail out money as well. Hustler’s Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said they will request that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry.
Have the profits gone soft in the adult entertainment world, or is this just and effort on Flynt’s part to get a piece of the American “bailout” pie? Larry Flynt has always been a master of satire, as repulsing as he may be, but talk about hitting a home run to show just ridiculous and selective government has been in choosing he they will bail out and who they will not. As the Q and O states, “this gives ‘too big to fail’ an entirely new meaning”.
Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said Wednesday they will request that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry.

More on Global Warming … Hey Al Gore … It’s Really Cold out there … Global Icing?
Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! I think Al Gore just took this song off his Christmas play list. One really must wonder what goes on in Al’s mind when he preaches “global warming” yet steps outside and freezes his but off.
Yes, it is true sir … it is 4 degrees out side.
Across the United States the weather has not cooperated with Al Gore theories on ‘Global warming”. How soon will it be before all puts forth a documentary on “The Ice Age Cometh”?
The weather outside was frightful from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Ore., on Monday, with last-minute holiday shoppers shivering and stranded travelers hoping for the best as Christmas rapidly approached. The little town of Eustis, Maine, got nearly 3 1/2 feet of snow. In Marysville, Wash., north of Seattle, heavy snow collapsed part of the roof Monday at the Whitley Evergreen factory, which makes modular buildings. No one was injured, but inspectors were dispatched to make sure other buildings in the business park were safe.

Monkey Waiters in Japan … Hey, Hey We Are the Monkeys … Ain’t No Messing Around
Monkey waiters in Japan … At the Kayabukiya tavern just north of Tokyo, Yatchan and Fukuchan serve customers hot towels and drinks, and are given soya beans as tips. Watching Yatchan and Fukuchan scurrying around the restaurant getting items for the customers is more ambition that I have seen by many human wait staff recently.
The Serve No Evil Monkey
At the Kayabukiya tavern just north of Tokyo, a pair of monkeys in jackets and shorts scamper over to the mini-oven, open the door and dish out hot towels to the patrons.
The younger of the two, Fuku-chan is quick to give the diners a hot towel to help them clean their hands before they order their drinks, as is the custom in Japan.
Yat-chan and Fuku-chan, who are both certified by the local authorities to work in the tavern are well appreciate by customers, who tip them with soya beans.
‘The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones,’ customer Takayoshi Soeno said.Tavern owner Kaoru Otsuka, 63, originally kept the monkeys as household pets – but when the older one started aping him he realised they were capable of working in the restaurant.
