Joe Francis - Girls Gone Wild





4 days ago



Of all the late 90s and 2000s cultural phenomena to come under
recent scrutiny – the Pam and Tommy sex tape, Woodstock 99,
Abercrombie & Fitch, over-inflated Silicon Valley startups,
Britney Spears, Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” – Girls
Gone Wild is arguably the least surprisingly toxic. Started in 1997
by a fratty entrepreneur named Joe Francis, Girls Gone Wild sold
VHS and then DVD videos of co-ed women, almost always intoxicated,
baring their breasts on some hedonistic spring break trip in
exchange for free underwear or hats.Francis dominated the soft-core
porn market in the early internet days; millions of people
purchased footage of the girls – often barely over 18 and sometimes
younger, predominantly white, thin and blonde – getting badgered by
cameramen to take more shots, take their tops off, make out with
their friends, use sex toys on themselves. Obviously, this has not
aged well. (Nor was it without controversy at the time.)
