You Have Spoken

Last month's poll asking readers about the requested bail out of the adult entertainment industry, proposed by Larry Flynt and Joe Francis, received a robust response. Given the lack of unanimity among our elected representatives in D.C. about the bailout ideas with which they are grappling, it should come as no surprise that our readers were equally divided about aspects of Mr. Flynt and Mr. Francis' petition.

Overall, the majority of readers thought the request for aid to the adult entertainment industry was simply a clever publicity stunt perpetrated by Mr. Flynt and Mr. Francis. In addition, respondents were almost unanimous in their belief that the $5 billion price tag was an arbitrary one, without statistical support. Opinion was much more conflicted about whether the global financial crisis has impacted business, though all felt at least a touch of pain. Readers were split in their responses regarding the actual merits of the petition, with a slight majority interpreting it as "clever and ballsy."

Thank you to all who participated in our poll. Full results are here.

The Buzz
Check out what consumers are saying about Topco Sales manufactured toys.

Wildfire Celebrity Series Tommy Gunn Sexxx Bullet
"This toy has a very cool design and really gets the job done. It just looks like a cool keychain, but it is a strong clit pleaser that packs a lot of buzz in it. Since it's waterproof, I even went ahead and fired it up in the shower. It packs as much vibe as toys much, much bigger. I plan to run this thing until it's dead. Grade: A."
- RogReviews.com

Climax Silicone Splash Dolphin
"Here's an original new design for a sex toy that can do a bit of everything. With lube, this high-grade silicone toy has a tremendously smooth and luxurious feel. Once you set the bullet in place and switch it on, it sends vibes through the dolphin, equally effectively felt at the tip and in the centre. The nose of the dolphin is great for clitoral use, and the toy then widens for a bit of perfect penetration."
- The Dinah Project

Joanna Angel's Burning Angel Flogger Whip
"The packaging was very eye catching and I would be drawn to it had I seen it in a shop. It is very tactile, love the feel of rubber and it smells great too. In action, it is very good for light bondage/punishment. It made me feel turned on, and my boyfriend loved it. It was a big hit with us. I will definitely use this item again in our sex life; it is great for opening up fantasy play."
