We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Girls Gone Wild is an infamous cultural phenomenon. If you were alive in the 1990s and early 2000s you probably remember waking up to their wild infomercials. But, while they made it seem like all fun and parties on their videos, there was a lot more going on in the background. The founder, Joe Francis seemed to be in the news every other week, and never for anything good. He is the dirt bag of all dirtbags and the inherent creepiness of girls gone wild is just the beginning.
