Girls Gone Wild Gone Bad

'Girls Gone Wild' firm fined $2.1 million

For the record, I bear no relation to the head of the firm mentioned in the article. The one I'm related to lives in Iowa, not Los Angeles.

And no, I am not going to link to them.

For the charges being mentioned, I'm thinking $2.1 million doesn't really seem like a steep fine or restitution. I would imagine another zero being at the end of it, depending on the company's balance sheet, would send a better message. Maybe even two zeroes.

On the bright side, maybe it means they only run 6 commercials an hour on Comedy Central instead of 10. I'm sick of those commercials.

C'mon, Mikey. Are you getting that old that quickly? I still love to watch those commercials over and over. I've ordered GGW a few times now and they're never quite as good as the commercials make you think. Granted, it's still pretty good. But personally I think this fine is BS. And how come one day you're own a crusade FOR gambling and the next day you're on one AGAINST porno??? ;-)

I think the underage part of it makes it pretty damn skeevy.
