Star of both brothel and screen (HBO’s series Cathouse is filmed at his cartoon place of business) Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch in Nevada where a fella can legally part with his hard-earned cash in exchange for the company of a lady or two, has thrust himself firmly into the bailout shenanigans by following fellow sex peddlers Larry Flynt and Joe Francis to Washington, to ask for federal bailout money.

Hof isn’t asking for much, just a cool billion, to help his business get over this hump in the economy.  While firm numbers are hard to come by, one might expect that customers find themselves more concerned with making their mortgage payments than with paying someone to [CENSORED] their [CENSORED] with a big [CENSORED] [CENSORED].  Even though customers may be drying up, the industry is seeing a rise in the number of potential employees, making it one of the few sectors that is still hiring.  Still, this downturn in business was apparently enough for Hof to mount a campaign and get on his knees to ask for money.

Were bailout money granted – which, of course, is about as likely as prostitution being legalized in neighboring Utah – the government would surely demand a stake in the house of pleasure.  We here at LOLFed would like to think that Neel Kashkari would leap at the chance to head that oversight committee.
