Girls Gone Wild in Bloomington

"Girls Gone Wild" is going to be at Jake's in Bloomington this Friday.

I first heard about this on Sunday night, but since then I've been inundated by postcard sized flyers featured gape-mouthed girls in tiny tank tops all over campus.

A little background: there was a very illuminating article in the LA Times about Joe Francis, the creator of "Girls Gone Wild" videos, over the summer. The article exposes him as being a very aggressive sexual assaulter who preys on vulnerable (mostly young) women. Here's the link:

Joe Francis: 'Baby, give me a kiss'

Additionally, he has since been charged for not documenting the ages of the girls in his videos. He is on probation, but apparently that doesn't stop him from producing new videos.

It has been suggested that folks go out and hand out information on consent and sexual assault at the taping. It has also been suggested to dressas a "girl-gone-wild" and infiltrate the crowd to get people talking about what a sleaze he is. Both sound like good angles.

Anyway, just a head's up...
