Awesome LA Times article on Joe Francis (creator of Girls Gone Wild)

So he's a sleazebag


But the interview and research Claire Hoffman did for the article is amazing. It's nice to see there are reporters around who still enjoy kicking over rocks and observing all the insects scurry from the light. Unfortunately her normal beat is covering the adult movie industry in LA and Hollywood celebs, so I don't think she's been given many opportunities to do non-fluff pieces. Actually a different kind of reporter probably would have turned this into a fluff piece. Glad she decided not to.

Wow! That's an insanely well-done article. There must have been days of research on that. You're right, she goes at it from all the angles.

And *shudder* I really wish I hadn't read it, but it was good work *shudder*
