| Damnation, i avoid that thread because frankly, its bad enough to stumble across horrible things in the news much less happening to people you (nominally) at least know. |

Heh, it's like you guys didn't already realize he's the world biggest douche. Seriously, he makes me sick. I read an article in either Spin or Rolling Stone about him awhile back and was just like... why the fuck are they covering his story like he's an okay guy?
This is where I'd mention certain rotten things that have had/I would like to happen to him but I don't feel like starting a debate or argument.
So yeah, he's a huge bag of cummy shit. That's not news. _________________ Way to kill the conversation, Patty.- Trevor |

yeah. Just wanted to say, what kind of messed up world does this guy live in inside his head? "Oh, I can physically assault a female reporter IN FRONT OF A POLICE OFFICER, and I will get away with it because I'm such a powerful guy. " _________________ A person's character is their destiny. |

| unfortunately, for the most part, that seems to be the world he lives in out of his head as well. this time the reporter didn't let him get away with it, but his sense of entitlement seems to go largely unchallenged. |

It just goes to show you re: due process yadda yadda yadda that he with the best lawyers wins. As if we needed any more examples of the serious flaws in our judicial system. _________________ -HamletSr |

| I hope that perhaps women will now start to realize that its not a good idea to follow a bunch of guys with a movie camera that says "Girls Gone Wild". Don't get me wrong, this guy is an asshole, and if what that lady wrote is true, he should get what's coming to him. However, these women should exercise judgement about getting plastered and showing off their goods for attention. |

that's the thing about being drunk -- it makes your judgment bad. and francis takes advantage of that by having them expose themselves and then sign waivers while they're drunk. i'm not saying these women have no responsibility here, but a lot of them are definitely being taken advantage of.
incidentally, francis doesn't only take advantage of their drunkenness, he also takes advantage of situations like these:
| Ariel Levy wrote: | A small pack of guys are drinking beer out of a funnel, and they decide they want GGW hats. Badly.
"Show them your tits," one yells at the two girls splayed on towels who are with them. "What's your problem? Just show them your tits."
Puck sets up the shot and waits with his camera poised for the female response. "No way!" The girl in the black bikini says and giggles.
"You know you want to," the funnel-wielder taunts. People are starting to circle around, like seagulls sensing a family is about to abandon their lunch. "Do it," the guy says. "Yeah, do it!" yells a spectator.
"Show your tits!" screams another. "Show your ass!"
There are maybe 40 people now gathered in a circle that is both tightening inward and expanding outward around Puck and the girls and their "friends" with every passing second. The noise is rising in volume and pitch. I catch myself hoping that the crowd will not start throwing rocks at the girls if they decide to keep their clothes on.
We'll never know, because after a few more minutes pass, and a few more dozen dudes join the now massive amoeba of people hollering and standing on top of beach chairs and climbing up on each other's shoulders to get a good view of what might happen, it happens. The brunette pulls down her black bathing suit bottoms. She is rewarded with an echoing round of shrieks and applause that slices through the air. |
