I hate this guy. So fucking much.

This is probably mean, but I laughed my ass off when I heard that he wept at his sentencing. Wept! Blew his nose and wiped away tears. And that was before these charges came forward. What a piece of shit.

Yeah, he's definitely an asshat. I hate how they go around college campuses, give alcohol to underage women, and then videotape them doing things they wouldn't otherwise do but they are doing because they got them drunk. They should be barred from all college campuses because they make a mockery out of us and our educational institutions. Assholes.

His lawyer is claiming that the woman pressing these charges is just trying to capitalize on his other legal troubles.

Because it's not like he deserves to be held accountable for his predilection for rape and sexual battery.

As much as I despise Joe Francis, I sort of have to pity him, because I have this feeling he'll be dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound before he hits 45.

Our educational institutions already are a mockery, Lindsay. Francis is just exploiting it.

I agree, Quinn, that he will most likely die of a gunshot wound, I'm just not so certain that it will be self-inflicted.

This guy makes my blood boil, however I think that this song is really pointed right at him.

I'm getting an eerie foreshadowing of what is to come next... scary! Perhaps instead of (or in addition to?) 35 days in jail the man should be court ordered to therapy. This sounds like it's a little beyond "normal" mysogyny.

I'm not talking about K-12 because those are obviously poorly run institutions, but as a college student in college right now, I don't think it's the same. I'm at a good school that I find to be well run and that gives me the education I pay for.

"that gives me the education I pay for."

Therein lies the problem.

at first i thought the headline was "Joe Francis with yet another sex CHANGE"

boy, was i disappointed

Nothing like a jackass getting his comeuppance.

Frank Mateljan is an old buddy of mine, and everytime I see him in the papers I think, "Someone famous doing something stupid again..."

I am confident that Joe Francis, after a long stay in prison, could have a remarkable transformation. I'm not holding my breath, mind you.

That's generous of you, Hugo. What would it take to change a person like Joe Francis, I wonder?

I hate that fucking asshole. Why isn't he dead yet?

If anything was going to change him, you'd think that being sexually assaulted himself would have done it. Obviously, it didn't.

I hate that fucking asshole. Why isn't he dead yet?

Cara: Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten about that.

I love that he cried at his sentencing. And that his lawyers tried to get the judge to sentence him to 30 days instead of 35, because that 35 guarantees him a higher sentence when he goes back to court for tax evasion charges.

So the dork has finally gotten sexual assault charges laid on him? Well that took a while. As much as I bask in his legal troubles and his whimpy crying I can't help but think that if it's not him exploiting college women on video it will be someone else now that he started this dispicable trend. I hate this guy so very very much.

As much as I despise Joe Francis, I sort of have to pity him, because I have this feeling he'll be dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound before he hits 45.

That's cause for celebration, not pity!

Sometimes karma is slow, but it's welcome either way:)

And I agree with cara, he's been assaulted himself and it hasn't changed him one bit. If he only gets a few months in jail he'll be back to his old tricks. Years? Now THAT might do something...

Here in California, we'd elect him Governor.
