Joe Francis, the moronic yet financially successful producer of the “Girl’s Gone Wild” video series pulled one out of a tailspin in a Florida courtroom today when a civil jury exonerated the millionaire, who left town on his own private jet. Francis represented himself during the trial until he accused two of the 18 year old plaintiffs (who were underage when Francis filmed them acting, well, wild) of being “prostitutes”, whereupon the judge fined Francis $2,500 and terminated his right to represent himself--ironically saving Francis from himself. Enter Francis’s attorneys, who somehow managed to pull off a defense verdict—which even surprised THEM. The money quote:
