Meet the Douchebag!



You may've heard that noted creep and "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis is in jail. Apparently the charge was guilty of being a piece of shit? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. Now, instead of just ducking his head and going about his douche-battle for freedom in privacy, he's created a website hoping to win you over.

It takes a lot for me to side with with religious wack-jobs, and the ones going after Francis have somehow managed the task.

The site is loaded with goofy "headshots" which do their best to portray Francis as a charming, fun-loving dude. Not the kind of "head shots," I'd hope we'd be talking about in a story involving Francis, but, hey you can't have everything...

The site contains a section detailing His Story. It is 18 pages long. Eighteen. Surely the heroic act of him having been born and all his legendary deeds since that fateful day, could've been relayed in, oh, some number less than 18 pages? I think so.

There's also a photo gallery, for all your Joe Francis-photo needs. Like, for example, if you were a particularly unscrupulous charades player, and you needed to get your team to say, "shit-bag," you could point to one of these photos.

There's also a FAQ section. Here's me taking cheap shots at that section:

Q: How did you come up with the name "Girls Gone Wild"?
A: Once I had the first tape edited together, I knew I needed a catchy name. During a cross-country flight, I took out a legal pad and just started brainstorming. I love being creative, so I spent hours writing and scratching out hundreds of names. I finally settled on "College Girls Gone Wild" - and then, at the last minute, I crossed out the word "College" and circled the words "Girls Gone Wild." I had my brand.


Wow, I really feel sorry for those people who got to witness the signing of the Magna Carta or the creation of the Mona Lisa, or more recently, those who watched the great Muhammad Ali in the ring. It really is a shame they don't let you pick the "legendary moments" to witness. Sad, how they were forced to go through life, so much the poorer for never having heard the tale of Joe's momentous feat.

Also, he "loves being creative," and yet it took him over several hundred tries to come up with the title, "Girls Gone Wild." But, remember, he loves being creative.

Q: Why do you think all those girls are willing to flash for your cameras?
A: I think it’s a couple of things. First, girls enjoy attention. It’s a simple female trait that the average girl needs and deserves a healthy amount of attention. Second, it’s a form of expression. College-age girls are beginning to enjoy their independence, and flashing is a way of saying, "This is my body, I’m proud of it and I don’t mind giving you a chance to admire it." It’s as simple as that, really. I don’t think it’s a sexual act. I honestly think it’s just an expression of fun and freedom.


Ah yes, alcohol and drug-fueled, instantly regrettable, underage... freedom. Oh, you girls and your endless desire for attention! Joe sure has figured it all out.

Q: Do you see yourself ever settling down and getting married?
A: Absolutely. I’m a romantic guy, and I am really looking forward to starting a family.


Awwwwww! Right ladies? Such a softie!

Q: Does your job allow you to have sex with a lot of girls?
A: Well, it’s not because of my job; I don’t use my job in that way. I guess the correct answer is "as many as possible." I’m not always successful, but I probably deserve an "A" for effort. My philosophy is that it never hurts to ask...


Fucking high five, brah!

...But as the brother of three sisters, I know very well that "No" means "No."


Yes, because that's the only situation where you'd ever learn that lesson.

Q: Do you really have a private jet?
A: Yes. I took my first ride in a private jet about six years ago, and found the freedom of the whole experience so amazing that I bought a Falcon jet three weeks later.


Who's asking these question, a fucking six-year-old? Hey, Joe, have you ever met a real live fireman?

Q: Do angry dads, brothers or boyfriends come after you?
A: It’s only happened once. In our second year of business, a gentleman called our offices. When I answered, he said, "Who is this?" I told him, and he said, "Did my daughter flash for your cameras?" I looked up the paperwork on his daughter and said, "Yes. I’m looking at her signed release. How can I help you?" There was a long silence, and finally he said, "Well, I guess she wanted to do it, or she wouldn’t have done it." I agreed, and he said, "Long as I have you on the phone, do you think you could send me some free videos?"


See folks, completely fabricated situations don't lie. This fictional gentleman from made-up-land would surely attest to that.

Joe goes on to describe how women are like cats, explain which part of the country has the hottest chicks, and talk about his desire to have a family.

The most shocking thing about all of this? He actually built this site to help his cause.



TheCoolerking seems to be drinking far too much coffee lately. He also sometimes types the word "coffee," when he means, "whisky."

i gotta say, i somewhat agree with bily, from ann arbor. does suicidegirls.com have that much room to talk? are they and 'girls gone wild' conceptually that different? i've noticed this before in some other articles; it seems like everyone knows there's naked girls to be oogled at on SG.com, except for those who write these "news" stories on SG.com. a little self-awareness would do you guys some good. this is such a weak editorial imitation of the onion...



Someone else does too!

Seriously boys, if you don't notice the difference between GGW and SG, then you're not paying attention, and obviously only see nudity as something to jack off to.



+1!

By the way...

Does anyone else think he looks really sleazy, even at 6? He's totally trying to get his sister to take her shirt off.

In a TV ad for GGW, I was particularly offended by the voice-over proclaiming Your Wildest Dreams Come True!

No, my wildest dreams go far, far beyond the spectacle of a bunch of drunken coeds flashing their tits while on Spring Break...

Um, I'm certainly no fan of "Girls Gone Wild" or Joe Francis, but your entry lacks the slightest scintilla of journalistic or even intellectual integrity. You would do well to think twice and construct a cogent, coherent argument before pressing the "Send" button next time. And schooling yourself in English grammar wouldn't hurt, either.

Yes, professor, it's true, I'm not a journalist, and I never claimed to be. (I'm actually a much better "thing. " A comedian!) As far as "intellectual integrity," feel free to elaborate on how and where exactly I let you down in that category. I had no idea you needed more than "Joe Francis is a scumbag, insert jokes here," in any article. Seriously.

My grammar is far from polished but trust me, if it didn't read right to you I was either using a colloquialism and/or delivering a joke you didn't get.

Also, "scintilla" is a bit much, for a dude like you. Stick with "shred."

Well, for beginners, SG doesn't have that stupid ass steel-drum music and the midget with the scuba gear.

I liked the article, I never expect thecoolerking to deliver biting social commentary. I read his articles, I get a chuckle, and I go on about my day.

Joe Francis is a douche, though.

i never said there was absolutely no difference. i just said there was not that much of a difference. apparently, this website is over-run with people too far up their own asses to see the bottom line here. it's quite simple, really. there is an artistic angle to SG as oppsed to GGW, but put close on all these girls, and this site goes out of business. nobody's gonna pay $18 (or whatever) a year to read shitty editorials that you can get anywhere on the internet for free. nobody's gonna pay money to look at girls wearing clothes, which, unless you live in a bunker 100 ft. below ground, you see several hundred of every day. i guess you're the only sensitive guy on this whole website that covers these girls with clothing you cut out of a magazine out of respect. aaawww, what a sweety.

all this is an effort to justify your own hypocrisy. do you really think missy suicide would have the bank statement she no doubt has, if all of you were dressed? do you really think anybody would PAY to see something they can step out their front doors and see non-stop for free? do you really think what you're doing is that novel?

the only thing i would like to hear come out of Joe Francis' mouth is:
"Don't tase me Bro! DON'T TASE ME! "



this story made my vagina spontaneously seal itself.




I love this thread. =)

the difference being that there are no allegations towards missy of coercing girls into posing naked by intoxicating them first.

not to mention the fact that the screening process for SG is a little more rigorous than flashing one's tits at the camera. whatever

I'm just gonna say 'NAUGHTY!' now before this thread turns into another 'art vs. porn' shitfest.

Suffice to say the sense of wonder and mental stimulation I get from seeing the kind of sets that someone like Arete does is somewhat lacking from the whole GGW concept. They're both arousing, sure. However, one is just 'LOL BOOBIES' and the other is beautiful.

coersion, really?

you may or may not have noticed, but one of your SG ilk described a scenario back on page 1 that had a sort of "casting call" situatuion at a club in her home town for GGW. she went on to say that there were girls lined up around the block to get into said club, while she and another "protested". i don't, however, recall reading about joe francis going door-to-door, handing out booze and rufies to every hot girl in her town to get them to form said line.
