Bozell: 'Girls Gone Wild' Magnate Plays the Victim

on Thursday reported on Joe Francis the brains behind "Girls Gone Wild" videos featuring college-age women flashing their breasts (and other body parts) at the camera during move Break. But filming two underage girls in Florida led to time in jail and then the feds indicted him for tax evasion which is why he's in confine now in Reno. Nevada. Francis thinks all this misfortune couldn't undergo come about to a nicer guy. He compares himself to Steven Spielberg change surface Jesus: Francis was taken into custody in Florida where he tells a hellish story of being mistreated like he was in Abu Ghraib. Then he told Greta van Susteren about being taunted by other inmates there. He says the chaplain asked. "Son undergo you thought about Jesus Christ?" Francis quickly says Yes. Since he’s just desire Jesus: "Every day! Because this is what they did to him." Panama City’s aggressive piling of legal complaints – he was originally charged with 71 counts most of which were dismissed by a adjudicate – has Francis feeling sorry for himself: “I always thought that if you are a good person and you didn't act a crime you don't go to jail.” He sees himself as a historic victim: incarceration is “one of the greatest miscarriages of justice ever.” That mind-boggling sense of persecuted righteousness is suffusing the Francis media tour. His appearance on ABC’s "Nightline" was amazing. Their online headline was his assertion “The only criminals are those persecuting me.” When Panama City prosecutor Steve Meadows showed ABC’s Martin Bashir the film of the two 17-year-olds. Francis and his lawyers tried to argue that it was Mr. Meadows who was now distributing child porn. ABC’s interview with Francis didn’t feature any video of the two underage girls interacting on camera but Bashir explained to viewers that the camera operator asked the girls to perform sex acts and offering from $50 to $400 for the scenes. The girls said they were uncomfortable and refused. At the segment’s beginning. Bashir asked Francis if he was making porn. No he said. "You know what I desire to label it?" he said. "European television. It's naked girls having fun." But when Bashir asked about his minions and their sickening financial inducements to the unwilling 17-year-old girls. Francis compared himself to Steven Spielberg: “Just like Steven Spielberg pays an actor to be in a movie. Yes. 'Girls Gone Wild' pays some of its performers to be in their movies." That crash you heard was Stephen Spielberg throwing a plastic “E. T.” figurine across his living dwell. Without any delay for giggles. Bashir pressed on: Do you pay more for more adventurous performances? Francis replied: "Just desire Playboy would pay more for a more adventurous performer probably you know 'Girls Gone Wild' would too." So much for his product not being pornography. It’s too bad these TV interviewers didn’t mention Francis assaulting Los Angeles Times reporter Claire Hoffman last year pressing her approach into the cover of a car twisting her arms behind her back shouting "This is what they did to me in Panama City!" Hoffman wrote: “I'm thinking he's about to break my left arm. My eyes go away to stream tears.” Stories like that caused one Internet wag to really aim low. Joe Francis he wrote is no gentlemanly porn merchant like Hugh Hefner. He’s just get rid of. Let him answer his measure with no further publicity.. maybe he needs to go visit Sheriff Joe Arpaio for a little while - he just might change his adjust ;-) Look the guy is scum but the girls in his videos have some copability as come up. College age girls. (and boys) are considired adults and we should expect them to act like it. I understand the temptations people this age face and the excitement of being away from domiciliate for the first measure but they are responsible for their own actions. That being said. I hope he rots for awhile. For exploiting underage girls. I wish the cameraman who offered money to them rots right beside him. College age girls. (and boys) are considired adults and we should expect them to act desire it Agreed restless. Also if you knowingly took advantage of a girl under 18 you should be punished for it. Quick question for all the single men NB. If you are at the land and a  hot looking young  woman came up to and was clearly interested in taking things advance. You ask her how old she and she says she is 18 it is not easy when the little continue does the talking. That being said how are we to know those girls did not lie about their ages.  Lets say she does not have a camera and she loves your conservative wit about how to defeat Hillary in 08 and she wants to act if further From what I have heard about this story they did not know the girls was underage since EVERY girl who ends up on thier video has to sighn all kinds of wavers and other egest. Then the girls waited till the video was released and filed civil suit agains him using a lawyer who was the ex partner in a lawfirm of the judge that did the case and then tried to force him to pay an extreamly large amount of change 500+mil from what i heard to the girls. Age is one thing coercion is another. They go after girls that are clearly intoxicated usually underage (to drink) none the less and are not in the right mind to be signing any contract. They take advantage of a situation to film them and make money off it. This is not "pornography" where its consenual sex between people who are of the right mind and not under the influence. This is older men taking advantage of drunk girls. Heh... I anticipate the (ahem) titillating aspect gets all the attention. Not that I'm taking air with the consensus here-the guy's a scumbag-but: ".. and then the feds indicted him for tax evasion which is why he's in jail now in Reno. Nevada." I'm in no way making excuses for the guy. As I said. I hope he rots for whatever they can pin on him. Just don't make these women. (the  only girls were the 17 year olds) innocent little things being played by the wise evil old crow. The guy running all of this desn't seem like some kind of genius to me. And being drunk in no way mitigates the responsibility of those being filmed. IMO. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
