Certainly promises to be an interesting read

L.A. Observed writes about a piece coming Sunday in the LAT Magazine in an item called:

Joe Francis goes wild on LAT writer.

It describes an amazing scene between Francis (Girls Gone Wild) and business writer Claire Hoffman.

Story promises to be an interesting one based on this excerpt. So not to bury the lead, but here's the whole piece:

"I'm sorry, baby. Give me a kiss."

When reading this, did anyone else feel like Francis comes off like Tim Meadows' impersonation of Ike Turner?

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry, Kevin Nealon."

 

Loved that last sentence.

Guy seems like a hardcore coker, too.

 

There was such a strong disconnect between the beginning of the story and the end that I almost didn't make it there. The only reason I continued past the part about the sociologist is because I noticed that she wrapped things up at the end when I looked to see if there was a shirttail at the end. This sort of narrative non-fictional account is just that more powerful when the right reporting is done to back it up. I hope in the print version there were subheads or breakouts or something to make it easier to read. But, overall, I thought it was good. And, that dude's a dickhead.

 

Good read. That dude sounds like human sewerage.

 

If you'd ever seen one of his videos, you'd have left out the "sounds like."

I know a couple of people in the X-rated biz and they absolutely despise the guy.

 

Wow. Guess what hotel I'm staying at when Ms. Slappy and I head to PCB next weekend...

EDIT: What a fascinating story... this guy is a sleaze beyond belief.... outstanding work by the reporter -- sorry that she had to go to those lengths to get it.

 

That's one of the best stories I've read in quite some time. Very well done.

 

That girls are so willing and think it's an honor to be on Girls Gone Wild does not speak well for our society. The girl who was assaulted in the story has a myspace page that is just frightening. You wonder if these kids have any brains whatsoever.

 

That dude someday is going to end up on the wrong end of a redneck daddy's shotgun.

 

One can only hope

 

Ot's not going to end well for that guy, and it might end soon.
