My reply was:
You dont agree helping them simply because they sell pics of naked people… ok…
But you gladly use your tax money to bail out the criminals who used the hard working American’s savings and – out of personal greed – speculated with your money in such a way that they actually _created_ the crisis and made so many American’s lose their jobs and home and made your prices higher and salary lower? Who is immoral? These people didnt just dump the US economy and made factories close down, their actions has created a _world-wide_ economic crisis, putting MILLIONS of people out or work! What they did has (and will have for many years to come) repercussions far outside USA… all thru-out every country in the entire world!!
Please pause and think a bit… Selling pics of naked people isnt anywhere in the same league of immorality as what these financial institutes did! You bail-out the criminals who created the crisis, but wont spend one dollar to a company that is a victim of the crisis, simply because you think selling pics of naked people is more immoral than gambling with other peoples money and thereby making hundreds of millions of people jobless and homeless? I think it is maybe time to pause and think and to reconsider the definition of “immorality”.

Oh… just so you know… I dont like Hustler or Girls Gone Wild and actually dont have much of a taste for porn at all. I just think its funny how people swallow the actions of one “respected” industry that actually act immorally and with no regard for peoples lives and livelihood, but choke over another company who has nothing to do with creating the crisis, imply because they deal with porn.
Personally, I think this is what Flynt wants to achieve: to use people’s “politically correct” distaste of the porn industry to try to make people open their eyes and see the reality: “who is REALLY immoral, our industry or their industry?” You bailed out the criminals, for crying out loud and actually _believe_ those guys are moral and that its a “respectable” business.

But that is just _my_ opinion. Who knows? Maybe God will say on the judgment day “Sure, you where so greedy and played with others money and put hundreds of millions in despair, causing people to starve and others to commit suicide because the plight you put them in, but that’s ok, no biggy. Now YOU on the other hand sold pics of naked people…”
