Free Joe Francis!

OK, guys, it's time to awake the sleeping giant. There are thousands of pre-marital sax readers out there, and if we all pool our resources together, we can finally make a difference in this world. And no, I'm not talking about saving Knut, or signing a petition against Don Imus. I'm talking about freeing Joe Francis.

And who is Joe Francis, exactly? According to CNN:

Francis, 34, makes an estimated $29 million a year from videos of young women baring their breasts and in other sexually provocative situations.

Well, when you put it that way, maybe he's not as good of a guy as I thought. It turns out that some of the girls who went wild did it when they were 17. And everyone knows, in this country, the legal age of going wild is 18. The legal age for "getting a little nuts" is 16, and you can't "get rowdy" until you're 14 years old.

CNN also noted, without irony that:

Francis initially refused to surrender and called [Judge] Smoak "a judge gone wild."

Apparently, in the Joe Francis dictionary (or the Gonewildionary, if you will) there are two definitions to "goin' wild:"

  1. A young woman's decision to shed her clothes in front of an overweight, middle-aged cameraman on spring break in return for a cheap t-shirt, arousing young boys around the world.
  2. The act of defying ridiculously wealthy smut peddlers in a courtroom, demanding them to abide by the law and limit their seminal films that reflect upon human nature to women with low self-esteem over the age of 18.
Or maybe it's just the only verb phrase he knows.
