Folks are talking about Sunday's LA Times magazine profile of Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis that doesn't paint a very pretty picture of the man or his empire: accusations fly throughout the story about his questionable (and possibly illegal) behavior on and off the now familiar GGW buses, including a physical altercation between the subject and the author herself. It's a rather shocking piece and worth reading in full, especially considering the most serious charges, which are buried well below the fold. You can decide on your own what you think of the whole business, but if you already find those late night commercials with that guy from "The Man Show" to be a little bit creepy, this probably won't help matters.
