Title: FWD of the Century in Legal Trouble.

This guy is such a mess. The LA Times even puts in a little slide show of the guy dancing with who-knows-through-18 year old girls--which literally made me gag a little bit at the disgustingness.

You mean you can't use teenagers like old gym socks, catch it on tape, and stay invincible for life, just by the stength of positive self-regard? Our legal system has truly lost its sense of humor.

"This judge has gone as far as to call me the devil and an evildoer," [Francis] said. "It is a case of a judge gone wild."

I wonder if he just gratuitously applies the "gone wild" analogy to every aspect of his life now.  

"The media is always accusing me of being a scumbag.  Frankly, I think the media's gone wild."
"The guy at Quiznos put black olives on my italian sub after I specifically requested no olvies.  It's a case of Quiznos gone wild."  
"Shit, that girl from the club is floating facedown in my pool.  I'll be charged with accidental drowning... gone wild."

Well, maybe not.  He's still vile though.

Check out this pre-hissyfit thread (http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,19.0.html) I started about Joe Francis getting punched in the face. Bernie Kopell linked to an incredible profile on Joe Francis, also published by the LA Times. Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy shit.

Me, I'm just happy the judge said "snookered."

I don't understand how someone can make so much money and still feel the need to embezzle it. The millions and millions isn't quite enough, you have to try and cheat the IRS too.
