$1m incentive

PORNOGRAPHIC magazine publisher Larry Flynt has offered $1 million to anyone with proof of “an illicit sexual liaison” involving leading Republican presidential candidate and Texas Governor Rick Perry.

The offer, by targeting Perry, was similar to past efforts by the Hustler magazine founder to embarrass public figures he dislikes.

Los Angeles-based Larry Flynt Productions said it bought full-page advertisements in the US satirical tabloid The Onion and the Austin Chronicle, a Texas alternative paper, seeking evidence of any Perry peccadilloes.
