Mr. Flynt Goes to Washington

Gram Ponante — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:30:01 EST

First the banks, then car manufacturers; when will Big Porn receive bailout money for years of steadily dropping DVD sales? Larry Flynt's hat is in his hand so yours will remain free.

Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis and Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt are petitioning the newly convened 111th Congress to provide a financial bailout for the adult entertainment industry.

Adult industry leaders Flynt and Francis sent a joint request to Congress asking for $5 billion in federal assistance, “Just to see us through hard times,” Francis said. “Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation’s most important businesses, we feel we deserve the same consideration. In difficult economic times, Americans turn to entertainment for relief. More and more, the kind of entertainment they turn to is adult entertainment.”

Flynt did not say if the $5 billion would help subsidize employee parking in his building, nor did Francis earmark the funds for his legal fees. But it's all in good fun. Maybe Francis will hook Congress up with some GGW hats and mini-tees if it shows him its titties.

Larry Flynt Fights For Our Right To Fap In Peace

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:40:39 EDT

You've seen "The People Vs. Larry Flynt" countless times and read every issue of Hustler cover to cover. But believe it or not, there's a lot about Larry Flynt that you just don't know—and IFC aims to school you with their tell-all documentary "Larry Flynt: The Right To Be Left Alone," which airs tomorrow night. Focusing on some of the less sexy (but still fascinating) aspects of Flynt's life, the movie offers an insider account of Flynt's freedom fighting in the name of free speech with rare footage of the infamous Supreme Court case against Jerry Falwell, Flynt’s prison sentencing for refusing to name his source in the FBI entrapment tapes of John DeLorean, and, best of all, Flynt’s gubernatorial and presidential campaigns. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Postcards From Las Vegas: The Things We Do For Schwag

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:57:13 EST

The crowds grew thick and lustrous on the third day of the AVN Expo today ... and so did the goody bags. Fans gorged themselves on autographed posters and 8 x10 glossies, DVD samplers, pens, keychains, candy, condoms, lube packets, moist towelettes, lip balms, and other assorted schwag bearing the likeness of their favorite pornstar or studio logo, all the while waiting in lines to snap as many awkwardly posed photos of themselves with the women of their dreams as possible. And when girls get up on stages and start throwing free objects at the crowd, things can get potentially ugly. (Or potentially sexy. That whole ugly/sexy divide becomes ever narrower the longer we stay here.)

Believe it or not that, halo of light follows Sasha Grey wherever she goes.

The biggest crush of fans we saw this afternoon was for Hustler-master Larry Flynt. And he didn't even have to put on body glitter!

Jamye Waxman's vulva puppet (modeled here by Daisy Layne) will not complain if you are rough with it, but it also won't scream your name if you rub it the right way. Such are life's tradeoffs.

The line for fan admission at the Sands Expo Center is not as long as some rides at Disney World, but the payoff is much better than those silly teacups.

A little bit closer now ...

Larry Flynt For President (Again)

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 13:59:33 EST

Are you fed up with this already never-ending political cycle and just wish Hillary, Barack, Rudy and the Huckster would just go away forever? If only there were some other alternative. A candidate with experience, leadership ability, good taste and just a smidge of bat-shit insanity. Someone like Larry Flynt, circa 1984. We actually think this classic campaign ad could run tomorrow and (other than the absence of his dear departed First Lady) no one, including Larry, would ever know the difference. Plus, a pink White House does sound like a refreshing change.
