Stimulus To Provide $50,000 For Porno film Named Thundercrack!
Obama promised us a stimulus bill that was free of earmark or “wasteful pork barrel project”! Lets see how that’s working out for him.
The NEA was given $80 million of the government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to spread around to needy artists nationwide, and most of the money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession…But some of the NEA’s grants are spicing up more than the economy. A few of their more risque choices have some taxpayer advocates hot under the collar, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla.”
$50,000 dollars of your hard earned money for a porno starring 4 men, three women and a gorilla. That’s change you can believe in!
“When you spend so much money in a short amount of time … you’re going to have nonsense like this, and that’s why the stimulus should never have been done in the first place,” said David Williams, vice president for policy at Citizens Against Government Waste.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I thought the money was to go to shovel ready projects. If this is a shovel ready project I don’t know what that say’s about the NEA!
Wasting your money one project at a time!
