Bush's Economic Package Helps Americans Watch More Porn
thinkprogress.org — When President Bush announced his economic stimulus in January, he bragged that his package was the “right size” and would “boost” the economy. It sure has led to “higher consumer spending,” but not where Bush had probably hoped. The adult pornography industry reports that has seen a huge uptick in business thanks to Bush’s package.

- kpmoore, on 07/02/2008, -1/+40Who pays for porn these days?
- captainslack, on 07/02/2008, -1/+24People that got stimulus checks, apparently.
- shutaro, on 07/03/2008, -1/+11I don't think that's the sort of stimulus they had in mind...
- friday1970, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Well, this money feeds the actors, cameramen, and directors, who then in turn make car payments, buy groceries, get medical checkups, pay taxes, provide clothing to those members who have children. Basically, spend the money they made lying down or watching it happen. What is your point, MakiMaki?
MakiMaki, you truly are a ***** idiot. Trying to link some non-story to Bush while indirectly admitting you have no clue about economics. Go hide and never come out.

- Still does Not make up for taking people's paychecks and passing the money out to their favorite churches... - ZippyV, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7Offliners
- xexx, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Don't knock it, we pirates are ignored when a significant amount of people are paying for it... encourage all your friends to pay =)
- zer0nix, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1considering that porn sales are down drastically this year, concurrent with the popularity of youporn and redtube, i offer these pearls of wisdom:
::splurt::
...also, buying dvds ensures you'll get hours of high quality video depicting exactly the kind of sex you want (within legal limits... damn obscenity laws!) and support the industry feeding your habit. so please, purchase your porn! i do... don't you?
- captainslack, on 07/02/2008, -1/+24People that got stimulus checks, apparently.
- beerncheese, on 07/02/2008, -3/+32I thought this was the whole point of a "stimulus" check, if you catch my drift.
- TheInformer, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1If it gives us free porn, Bush's package is what we want. Sorry, Laura.
- overridemymind, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0Bush's package gives us free porn? Ugh. Ugh... UGH!
Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day! Ah, a slightly better picture than the image that comes to mind when one says "Bush's package == free porn" lol.
That'd make a nice bumper sticker or t-shirt actually. lol
- Stevanoski, on 07/02/2008, -12/+17The Democrat stance is any girl can make any porno she wants to make as long as she is paid minimum wage, isn't it?
- CryRightardCry, on 07/02/2008, -9/+27Yep.
Whereas the Republican stance is any girl can be forced to make a porno as long as the married GOP rep co-starring in it doesn't get found out.
Any girl can make a porno, unless she's under age, in which case Republicans need to "study" the films.
She can make a porno, unless she's muslim, in which case the GOP prefers snuff films.
I guess your point is that you would force them to make pornos for LESS than minimum wage.
Typical rightard asshat, wanting to abuse women and force them to work for less. As a Republican I bet you'd pay your male gay porn stars full wages.
In all seriousness, YES, the Democrats believe that if an adult wants to make porno, that is their decision.
It's called America, you ignorant rightard loser.
Hey, when are you going to enlist and put your money where your warmongering mouth is?
Does your cowardice somehow earn you points with other rightards?
What is it about you that makes me believe you are a secret fan of porn while pretending to be against it?
Oh, right, rightard hypocrisy. You can bank on it.- Ryan166, on 07/04/2008, -4/+3Calm down. Calm down. Don't get a BIG DICK!!!!!!!
- LocalDocal, on 07/04/2008, -3/+6Who keeps digging up posts like this? Are there people out there who can actually look at arguments like "You ignorant rightard loser" and "Does your cowardice somehow earn you points with other rightards", then think to themselves 'Now that's a good argument'?
- YelenaRossini, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4The other replies to this comment are missing your point entirely. Focusing on one spelling mistake. Do you think a spelling mistake is enough to invalidate their entire argument? Grow up.
I've been on this site less than a week though and it would appear that the majority of people are like this so it doesn't really surprise me. - bdfariello, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Wow, I'm a democrat and even I found this comment to be that of a complete ass-hat.
- shutaro, on 07/03/2008, -2/+3Yeah, and if you don't like it then go back to Russia!
- CryRightardCry, on 07/02/2008, -9/+27Yep.
- reland1, on 07/02/2008, -2/+11hey...I bet we have a baby boom in about 7-8 months!! that's what happens when you keep people at home!
- FutureEng, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8I think you fail to understand the concept of porn.
- planet87, on 07/02/2008, -14/+6It's probably all the unemployed lefties who have lost their job from spending all day on Digg.
- MarrowMan, on 07/04/2008, -3/+4Without lefties, you righties would ***** the planet into oblivion.
- Murdats, on 07/04/2008, -3/+4It's probably all the unemployed rights who have lost their job from spending all day on Digg.
- diggcommentguy, on 07/04/2008, -3/+3Ha! I buried all of you down
- mrzeero, on 07/03/2008, -5/+26I bet at least 70% of the stimulus went directly into oil companies bank accounts.
- MattL920, on 07/03/2008, -0/+51"The adult pornography industry reports that has seen a huge uptick in business thanks to Bush’s package."
And there's a sentence I never expected to read in my life- doen, on 07/04/2008, -2/+2Yea, I never would've believed there were that many people who wanted to see Bush's package.
- chaosblade77, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0I only looked at this comment page just to digg the person that said this.
- adidos, on 07/03/2008, -0/+12"his package was the “right size”"..."thanks to Bush’s package"...hehehe
- dupswapdrop, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3It just means old President Bush got his bonus from the oil companies early, and he's spending it on porn!
- Shigglyboo, on 07/03/2008, -3/+11the package was a joke. they just gave us back a little bit of their ill-gotten gains that were essentially taken from us at gunpoint. Income tax is not a legitimate tax. Yes I pay it, because I don't want to deal with our mob of a government coming after me. But they need to stop taking so much of our money away. Stop spending wayyy over budget too. We need to make our leaders adhere to a budget that we define, not the other way around.
- Liability, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3
Keep dreaming. Back to work, peon! - Wolf73b, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I don't agree that the income tax is not a legitimate tax. After all, there are legitimate governmental expenses that need to be paid. However, you are dead on about keeping to a budget. The government needs to start doing only those things that it is neither possible, nor practical, for private industry to do. Other than that, stop spending our money!!!
- Liability, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3
- MarrowMan, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3Porn might ease the pain of having The Simian Savant President, but only when he's finally gone will you be able to (afford) enjoy it again.
- YelenaRossini, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1If porn eases that pain for you, you might want to reconsider how much you actually give a ***** about having him as a president....
- pookkake, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7Great picture of bush to use.
- sdcarter, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2Wait, it's possible for me to watch MORE porn? I knew something good would come out of this moron's reign.
- edebolt, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Porn is like eating at fast food restaurants... When times are better then its lots of escorts, exotic dancers and happy massages. This could last for years... I better hit Cosco for a huge container of lotion.
- YelenaRossini, on 07/04/2008, -9/+1Well, why doesn't this surprise me in the slightest?
***** pathetic.- insanebrain, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3> "*****. .. ."
true.- YelenaRossini, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0Yeah, obviously that's all you would have picked up on....
- insanebrain, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3> "*****. .. ."
- YelenaRossini, on 07/04/2008, -11/+2This is just further proof of how the sex industry is NOT a good thing.
When are you morons going to start realising that?- Pixelpaws, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1This has to be the worst trolling attempt I've seen in a while.
- YelenaRossini, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0Trolling? I'm not allowed to speak my opinion on this then am I? Hmm, well then I should have reconsidered joining this ***** site in the first place.
- Pixelpaws, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1This has to be the worst trolling attempt I've seen in a while.
- carabou, on 07/04/2008, -6/+2yep this crap blog has hit a all time low! Almost as bad as the huff post! Anything for the left to hate over is good for digg rite!
- itsmesunny, on 07/04/2008, -8/+3george bush is a psychopath.
tar and feather him and send him to iraq!- insanebrain, on 07/04/2008, -3/+3Correction .. give him a sign that say "I hate muslims" (like die hard 3). . and THEN send him to Iraq
- Paranor01, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1if i could add 50 points to your statement i would. best damn idea anyone's had for GW imo lol
- Paranor01, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1if i could add 50 points to your statement i would. best damn idea anyone's had for GW imo lol
- insanebrain, on 07/04/2008, -3/+3Correction .. give him a sign that say "I hate muslims" (like die hard 3). . and THEN send him to Iraq
- craighoxton, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7Nero fiddled while Rome burned so why not?
- haffe, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1That would have been kind of hard for him to do, given the fact that the fiddle hadn't been invented during his reign.
- Paranor01, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3ah, I think the 2nd meaning of "fiddled" is in use here. to manipulate something for non-productive outcome.
in other words... Nero twiddled his dick and came out on top hehehe
- Paranor01, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3ah, I think the 2nd meaning of "fiddled" is in use here. to manipulate something for non-productive outcome.
- haffe, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1That would have been kind of hard for him to do, given the fact that the fiddle hadn't been invented during his reign.
- zippy757, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3not sure it matters what the form of consumption is...porn site grows drives technology purchases, and employs people....in fact, porn is one of the larger consumers of technology on the internet....so this might not be a bad thing for the economy.....moral issues aside
- angrykeyboarder, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5What moral issues?
- dvdking, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5Sorry. I accidentally clicked on this article when I saw the words: bush, package, and porn. Boy was I let down.
- dildoolielly, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1Laura raised two drunk skanks too!
"Hard Work"!- LastVisibleDog, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2you know you are a moron, right?
- digginaround, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I don't care to read the story, but this is priceless:
"The adult pornography industry reports that has seen a huge uptick in business thanks to Bush’s package."
...
Eww... - iJessicaRabbit, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5The thumbnail is very fitting
- i11uminati, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I always thought porn was an inelastic good.
High gas prices. Watch porn.
Win the local lottery. Watch porn.
Comcast raises rates. Watch porn. - mrzack, on 07/04/2008, -6/+3Think Progress knows 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB
- ArchAngel21x, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4*Everybody sing*
The stimulus is for porn
The stimulus is for porn
Why you think the check was born?
Porn, porn, porn. - danarama, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1i have hit the wall on porn, it's sad and gross. still wouldn't pay a dime for it on the internet.
- RRightmyer, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I changed my mind -- I now support this legislation.
- banderwocky, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I guess it's stimulating something.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2In the USSR, it was cheap vodka and naked newscasters. Bread and Circuses.
Communism for the rich, and capitalism for the poor. That is the Plutocracy. - proficient, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I bet Bush has stimulated himself after this.
- alvarezg, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1At least it's a domestic industry. Anything else you buy, the money goes to foreigners.
- Humanfealty, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2The new Christianism has created a hostile environment for economical, regional and political matters on this flat world. The raging temperature of whitish nature is causing an uncomfortable degree of greediness for energy and power. The depressed world view is based on pessimism about war, world economy, food and fuel price are getting worse for developing nations. The big picture of global economy should be based on most populated countries and regions not Christianism. On the other side the soaring prices are not matters for Americans and European countries due to wealthiest people of earth. The main beneficiary of the foolish holy crusade is economy for G 8 and some European countries. The major loss of development will occur in Asia, South Asia, Mid East and African nations. It used to be said, That never talk about religion, race, politics and culture differences it is only for the whitish nature of Christianism to use it as an weapon to make fool of colorful humanity.
- chinaman1212, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3What?
- bigspooon, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0I hate when people try to sound intelligent by stringing together big words and buzz words.
...Its even worse when it doesn't make much sense.
imho, one of the marks of a truly intelligent argument lies in its simplicity (of course, the most important indicator is the argument itself).
- chinaman1212, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Are you kidding me!? that was the most retarded add. Buried.
- LastVisibleDog, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2More ***** from the ***** artists at Thinkprogress.
Thinkprogress logic (I know that is a oxymoron): This morning I took a piss and the sun came up to light the day therefore me pissing makes the sunshine
(stupid leftist twits)- bigspooon, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1oh i get it...correlation does not imply causation.
- SilverBlade2k, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Stimulated the Porn industry?...I thought that a good chunk of the economic package went straight into Big Oil's hands..
- shadowangel26, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0LOL!
True or not that is hilarious. - AZRoboto, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Umm...it's summer time.
A lot of students don't have school and are going to be home for the summer. - mrg14x, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0Wow what a bunch of unhappy miserable people on this blog. Is there anyone on the left who is not angry.
http://www.ydito.com/showchannelimages/?PicNumber= ... - tbk123, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1As Booger from "Revenge of the Nerds" famously said, "We've got Bush! WE'VE GOT BUSH!"
- palang7, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0porn is the only thing never can't be vanished.
