He's so misunderstood
 
Poor Girls Gone Wild guy.

Quote:

Blowing his nose and wiping away tears, the multimillionaire founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" video empire pleaded guilty to contempt of court Monday and was sentenced to 35 days in jail.
I love it. Allow me to profile:

High school loser. Couldn't get laid if his life depended on it. Realizes that the drunk girls who are stupid enough to give him the time of day are also stupid enough to flash their boobs for all the world. Loser makes millions. Loser gets busted. Loser loses it in court. Loser is still a snivelling pansy-ass who still couldn't get laid if it weren't for the millions of dollars. Loser and his loser girls ride off into the sunset.

Perfect.

Quote:

His attorney, Jan Handzlik, said being in jail had changed his client.
"He is a different man. Undoubtedly he is a different man," he said.
I'm sure he is. Prison changes people. Until they get out.

Let's all shed a tear for poor misunderstood loser.

I would have thought this would have happened a while ago.

I look forward to his new series.

U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak ordered Francis to settle the case or go to jail for contempt of court.
Wait, what?

Well, knowing the voyeur that you are (unburdened by concerns of class and dignity) I'll have to concur that he did.

I just want to see him snivel some more. Reminds me of a cellarite or two.

During negotiations with the girls, he went bonkers...then went on to dis da judge in public, calling him "judge gone wild."

You don't piss off da judge. Da judge is god.

What a maroon. What an ignoranamus.

How old is this guy? He doesn't look that old, 22, 23 maybe?

No, that's a separate contempt charge. What I was confused by was the order that preceded that, "settle or go to prison". Shouldn't he have had the option to have an actual trial?

Did I read this wrong?

Quote:

Francis drew the contempt charge during negotiations to settle the federal lawsuit brought after his production company filmed the women at Panama City Beach in 2003.

Attorneys for the women said Francis, who makes a reported $29 million a year taping topless women for his videos, lost his temper in negotiations and yelled obscenities at them.

U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak ordered Francis to settle the case or go to jail for contempt of court. When talks fell through, Francis lashed out at Smoak in the media, calling him a "judge gone wild" and questioning the judge's authority to order a settlement.

Smoak had ordered Francis to surrender to U.S. marshals by April 5 and begin serving time on the contempt charge. He did not return to Panama City from his California home until April 10, when authorities met him at the airport.

He's right, though. The judge is a "judge gone wild." Judges normally encourage parties to settle, but I've never heard one say "settle or go to jail."

1) Judge says "settle, or contempt"
2) Settlement talks
3) Dude insults judge when settlement talks break down.
4) Judge holds him in contempt for insult

Step one seems suspect.

AFTER pre-pubescent boy yelled at the girls during negotiations. Judge basically said 'that's enough panty-waist.'

I guess the poor feller IS misunderstood. :rolleyes:

Add another 1), making your 1) 1a)

AFTER boy screamed obscenities at girls during negotiations, Judge issues warning to "settle or contempt" letting guy off hook for meantime if you ask me. Boy still couldn't keep his mealy-mouth shut, so THEN judge says "alrighty then, little man, I got your contempt of court right here, as pre-warned"

I applaud the judge.

Happy Monkey 04-24-2007 12:24 PM

OK, that makes more sense, but it is still a bad idea to threaten someone with prison for going to trial.

It's a worse idea to insult the judge, though. Even worse to not show up when ordered. I'll shed no tears for him.
