“the man who built the soft porn empire” is being sued

Joe Francis, founder of ‘Girls Gone Wild,’ is being sued by Wynn Casino:

The resort said in the lawsuit filed Friday in Clark County District Court that it loaned Francis $2.8 million in February 2007 but was repaid only $800,000. The suit seeks the remainder of the loan plus costs

I hope this doesn’t have an impact on the number of ‘Girls Gone Wild’ commercials I get to see when I watch Comedy Central.

    I’ve heard a lot about this Girls Gone Wild series, but not seen it myself. What is it, some sort of nature documentary?

    That sounds about right. This article in Slate, in which (girl) reporter Ariel Levy tags along with the Girls Gone Wild crew, provides a fascinating back story to the ubiquitous series. Nasty stuff.
