From Boingboing:
A terrific piece by Claire Hoffman in today's Los Angeles Times -- here are the opening few grafs, but don't miss the last: Joe Francis, the founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" empire, is humiliating me. He has my face pressed against the hood of a car, my arms twisted hard behind my back. He's pushing himself against me, shouting: "This is what they did to me in Panama City!" http://www.latimes.com/features/magazine/west/la-tm-gonewild32aug06,0,2664370.story ~Ulrika~ _____________________

Loved the DVDs!!! I'm sure those girls' parents must be proud to see their collegiate offspring flash their boobies for a t-shirt.

Sooo uhhh he got ass raped in Panama City? or what? I guess so. He says: "I've been anally raped over and over by the media." Damn that media. Damn them all to hell.  _____________________

This was the most disturbing/revealing part for me, from a GGW prospect:
I ask her why she wants to get noticed. "You want people to say, 'Hey, I saw you.' Everybody wants to be famous in some way. Getting famous will get me anything I want. If I walk into somebody's house and said, 'Give me this,' I could have it." People are scary. _____________________

You really have to read the full article to get an idea of quite how appalling he seems to be - calling her editor up and claiming she had a crush on him, the sickening little "we're all friends aren't we" bit at the end, the story of him and the teenage girl he met while they were out... as one of the cops who were there says, "He's one of those guys who has money and does whatever he wants to". I read this originally on Pandagon and Feministe and, if you know those blogs, you can imagine how much they ripped into him.

Whenever we see an ad for Girls Gone Wild, my husband says the same thing "If our daughter EVER did that, I'd kick her ass!" I hope I've taught my daughter to have enough respect for herself not to want to flash her breasts in public!
I don't know how the "releases" he gets those girls to sign are legal. You can't consent for surgery *after* they give you any kind of pain medication, you have to sign before you are given anything mind altering. So, if those girls are drunk, how can they legally sign a release form?  _____________________

The very last part of the story made my skin crawl. I could almost feel myself in her place.

That reporter was too nice. She made a fist and went for his face. Would have been better to bring up a knee and go for his nuts.

The most disturbing part of this story is the last paragraph. Ugh.
In related news, if you want to put a face to the story, every one of the girls the reporter names has a myspace profile. _____________________

He has a history of unruly incidents and other problems with his release forms.

I love Comedy Central and I watch it all the time, but at night, I tend to turn it off when the endless "Girls Gone Wild" commercials start. _____________________

Still, I'm waiting for the day when I go to see the doctor or some other "highly educated" person and recognize 'em from the DVDs |
