Girls Gone Wild is a video series about "wild" girls, mostly showing off their breasts. The brand was built up by late night TV ads. Girls Gone Wild founder, Joe Francis, has been in the news and under police investigation on bribery charges.

Professional whiney bitch loser Joe Francis is getting off on tax evasion charges with one hell of a light sentence. Francis has one hell of a long and complicated legal history. He’s served time for all sorts of things, from taping underage girls topless (for the Girls Gone Wild series) to two contempt charges (for showing up five hours late to a trial and freaking out and going on an expletive-laced tirade in a court-ordered mediation). Even though he was given the option of bail, he... Read Full Story
