We've talked about the "Girls Gone Wild" guy a few times. The consensus was that he's an ass.

Here's the latest:

Joe Francis, the 34-year-old multimillionaire founder of the Girls Gone Wild video empire, has been charged with tax evasion. He's already being held without bail on contempt of court charges for allegedly shouting obscenities and threatening seven women during civil suit settlement negotiations.

He's charged with deducting over $20 million in bogus business expenses, including $3.78 million to build a house in Punta Mita, Mexico. He's also accused of using an offshore bank to conceal income.

...

The "Girls Gone Wild" guy has now been caught with drugs in his cell. Also trying to bribe a guard with a $100 bill. And the president of the company that produces his DVD's has been charged with smuggling the pills and cash to him in jail.

Heh.

Oh lord, I just realized I sent a fax yesterday that didn't have my name on the front sheet. @@ It was on the second through seventh pages, though, so everything worked out, but STILL.

The consensus was that he's an ass.

I was firmly convinced that he was way more than just an ass, so this news makes me very happy, indeed.

See, here's what I don't get about people. You have a gazillion dollars flooding in from your reprehensible "business", and you have to go faking up expenses to not pay taxes on your house. And then you want to bribe a prison guard, and you offer him a measly hundred bucks.

It's kind of amazing how many super rich people land their asses in jail for, basically, being cheap.

And in this case esp., couldn't happen to a nicer more deserving ass.

I read an interesting article (In Jane , I think) by a woman who traveled with the crew for a time. She basically said that he was a narcissistic 10 year old. He thinks he's charming, but would be abusive when he didnt get what he wanted from women. Two seconds later, he'd want you to forgive him. She said that he was like a kid after a tantrum wanting to make sure that mommy still loves him.

So, pretty much like the president, except for the wanting forgiveness?

The president wants forgiveness. Just not from you. Perhaps he begs it of Condi.

Brain bleach, aisle 5... brain bleach, aisle 5...

Issues of consent all over the place!
