    I don't think anything's been posted on this -- my expertise with the search function is apparently quite rudimentary -- but since we have discussed Joe Francis and his sleazo tactics here in the past, I thought some of you might be interested.

    What would be appropriate community service work for this guy? Scrubbing toilets without a brush?

    If you read the story online, or on the wire, you'd see a correction was appended, noting that the first story referred to him as "Steve Francis."

    Incidentally Cuttino Mobley cried for three hours before the correction was made.

    I just re-read the link I posted and it says Steve Francis (though the cutline on the photo has it right). JK productions regrets the error.

    That story would almost require a quote from the LA Times writer he allegedly raped while she was working on a story about the empire, wouldn't it?

    If I remember correctly, he didn't rape her...

    Isn't getting girls to flash strangers and frankly all of America service enough? Or am I living in East Germany all of a sudden?

    He didn't rape her, but he was extremely abusive. She did a good job reporting about this weasel/slimebag
