Flynt and Francis do make one penetrating insight in their complaint -- adult entertainment sales and rentals are shrinking much more quickly than overall DVD sales and rentals. So it would be fair to say that compared to mainstream Hollywood, the adult entertainment sector is getting pounded. Unless the economy can manage to mount a robust and vigorous upturn sometime soon, it makes sense for the adult entertainment industry to beg for a more direct and forceful stimulus package.
As I was reading it, I was sure that Drezner meant the double entendre "all the way". I mean, look at the words he uses in the post: "penetrating", "shrinking", "getting pounded", "mount", "forceful stimulus package" ..... good going Professor Drezner :-)
BTW, the title of that post? "Things are hard all over the economy". I tell you, university professors have a great sense of humor, despite popular myths!!!!
Maybe this is what Megan McArdle meant when she blogged that it is not possible to discuss the economics of the adult entertainment industry without the double entendres ....
