I Loathe Joe Francis Even More Now (plus we almost have a contest winner!)

joefrancis-lg.jpgAs I skimmed the headlines this morning, I noticed that Girls Gone Wild chief douchebag, Joe Francis, is being sued again by two young women for releasing a sexually explicit video without their consent.

I know. SO shocking.

But to me, that’s neither here nor there. Francis’ MO of taking video footage of young women in compromising positions for the purpose of making tens of millions of dollars is well known by now. He’s a pig.

A pig with tour buses.

Yes, now in addition to going into clubs and party spots to approach girls whose judgment may be impaired and getting them to flash some T&A or make out or whatever in exchange for a cheap, ugly GGW trucker cap, the crews can now bring them on their bus to “perform” in their roving mobile studio. Supposedly they check all ID’s before they allow girls on the bus and never ever serve alcohol, as has been alleged. *coughBULLSHITcough*

The whole bus premise is completely vile and it’s definitely not in keeping with Francis’ claims that what they do is all very spontaneous and they just happen to be there to capture all those magical moments.

Ugh. I hope he loses every penny he ever made with GGW and fails miserably at mastering new and innovative ways to to safely pick up the soap while he’s incarcerated.

••••••••

There were so many great submissions that I wasn’t able to choose just one winner in the photo caption contest so what I’ve decided to do is let the readers speak. Out of the following captions, please cast your vote in the comments for the one you like best. I’ll tally the votes Friday morning.

In no particular order:

2 - Amazing — he’s cheeky, cocky and ballsy!

3 - You call those beach balls?

4 - Sunscreen … $10, Sunglasses … $40, Cock-Tails on the beach? Priceless

5 - I said I wanted a pink lemonade, not a pink limousine!

    1- More and more naked men are washing up on the beach for no apparent reason.

    I like it: losing their direction and washing ashore. LOL

    As for Joe Francis? Pig.

    I guess it’s easy to say “Girls ought to know better, show better judgment,” but youth is all about the testing boundaries. I do feel sorry for the young women with regrets. That’s a hard lesson learned. And I do blame this guy and his company.

    Free doesn’t mean do whatever you want, and just because you can do it doesn’t mean you ought to.

    Number three — beach balls.

    #4 - and you’re right, JF is a real pig. I hope he gets a raging genital infection that renders him poor and alone.

    IF # 5 wins - draw a name for the prize, ok? :)

  4. By Angela at mommy bytes on Jun 14, 2007

  7. By RWA on Jun 14, 2007

    Between Nevada and Florida, I don’t think Joe Francis is going to avoid prison time.

  8. By AbsolutelyBananas on Jun 14, 2007

    I vote for 1 and 4

    #4. OMG. ROFL. #4!!

  12. By Blog Antagonist on Jun 14, 2007

    Yeah. He’s a waste of air. Pig.

    That picture is hilarious. My suggestion is:

    “Lacking in intellect, Howard didn’t realize Marge was speaking metaphorically when she suggested he let it all hang out on their family vacation.”

  13. By Blog Antagonist on Jun 14, 2007

    Err, I should read carefully first, as it seems submissions are closed. Oh well, that’s me…a day late and a dollar short.

    I vote for #4.

  14. By Oh, The Joys on Jun 14, 2007

    I vote #1.

  15. By sam on Jun 14, 2007

    cock-tails on the beach gets me vote. That shit’s FUNNY!

    And yes, JF is scum. I hope he gets royally fucked in every sense of the work. Jerk

    Oh my, when I looked at the picture yesterday I didn’t notice the knucker hole peeking out. I though it was kind of a silly contest. What’s happening to me? never before did I need a giant yellow arrow pointing out something like that!

    #4.

    Joe Francis is a douche bag. A misogynistic one, at that.

  18. By Kristi on Jun 14, 2007

    Number three, definitely!

  19. By problem girl on Jun 14, 2007

    JF is a slimeball but I don’t see the GCW franchise ever dying off. There’s such a huge demand for that crap that it’s almost kind of sad. I mean, it is sad but not as sad as the fact that some women are still willing to play along with it.

  20. By motherofbun on Jun 14, 2007

    Clicked on your ad again. Hope you win.

    And yes that Joe F is a slime! Gah.

  21. By Assertagirl on Jun 14, 2007

    Number 4 gets my vote!

  22. By Fenicle on Jun 14, 2007

    I vote for #4!!! They are all good though.

    I hope those girls suing him were not dumb enough to lift up their freaking shirts for the camera!!!

  23. By Colleen on Jun 14, 2007

    I vote for:

    1- More and more naked men are washing up on the beach for no apparent reason.

    While the others were good, it cracked me up immediately.

  24. By Sensible One on Jun 14, 2007

    Oh, #4 all the way!! ;)

  25. By Desert Songbird on Jun 15, 2007

    My vote is for #3, but #4 is great also.

    I’ve tried and tried to get your scrapblog to load, but I can’t! Waaa!!! So, each time I click over, does that count even if I can’t view the site?

  26. By aimee/greeblemonkey on Jun 15, 2007

    Of course I need to vote for my hubby! :)

    1- More and more naked men are washing up on the beach for no apparent reason.

  27. By Vicky on Jun 15, 2007

    Oooh I fucking hate that asswipe Francis! He makes my blood boil. I wish such ill will on him.

  28. By bitsy parker on Jun 15, 2007

    I am cracking up!! This is hilarious I missed the contest!! Damn. I’m linking, though, right now. My vote is for:

    Sunscreen … $10, Sunglasses … $40, Cock-Tails on the beach? Priceless

  29. By bobbarama on Jun 16, 2007

    Wow. They’re all excellent. I’m going with No. 4. Great post and contest, too.

  30. By mom101 on Jun 16, 2007

    I like #1

    And Joe’s taking his cues from this guy in the 70s and early 80s in nyc called Ugly George. He used to invite women to his “Polish Penthouse” which was an rv he parked around Manhattan, and film them taking off their shirts - which he then broadcast on local access cable. You can’t imagine how many women said, “sure. What the hell.” And did it. But they were all sober and generally adults.
