Hustler Video is an American pornographic film studio. It is owned by Larry Flynt's Larry Flynt Publications, and is part of its Hustler-branded range of enterprises, which includes Hustler magazine, the Hustler Casino and the Hustler Hollywood retail outlets. [1] In 2003 Hustler Video bought VCA Pictures,[2] which maintains a separate brand identity within the LFP conglomerate. [2] In response to 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain selecting Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, Hustler placed a classified ad on Craigslist, seeking a Sarah Palin doppelgänger willing to star in a pornographic film while portraying the governor.[3] The film, entitled Who's Nailin' Paylin, was released November 4, 2008.
