"Girls Gone Wild" Plans Restaurant Chain
LOS ANGELES, March 29 (Reuters Life!) - Having made a fortune off bare-breasted women, "Girls Gone Wild" founder is setting his sights on selling another type of breast.A restaurant chain under the "Girls Gone Wild" brand name is being planned by Joe Francis, whose Mantra Films Inc.'s has built a $100 million business videotaping and selling the DVDs featuring young women exposing their breasts.
"This is going to be about fun, lifestyle, youth, sun. It's about everything 'Girls Gone Wild,'" Francis said. "It's going to be sexy without being sexual."
There will be no stripping, topless waitresses or filming in the restaurants, Francis said.
The first two restaurants are expected to open by mid-summer in Mexican beach towns Cabo San Lucas and Cancun. Francis sees franchises popping up mainly in college towns in the United States and around the world.
He said "Girls Gone Wild" restaurants will appeal to women who want to feel sexy, exiting and edgy.
"Edgy"? Oh boy.

I don't really like it when my waitress is edgy.

I suspect I'd feel pretty edgy if I were a woman in such a restaurant.

This news makes me slightly nauseous. Probably not the best reaction if you're trying to start up a line of restaurants.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but maybe a page from the Jack Thompson's playbook should be used and the restaurant should be banned as a public nuisance.

I don't think it'll make women feel 'edgy', but slutty.
Is it possible to be 'sexy' but not 'sexual'?
Hear, hear! Now, could either he or Girls Gone Wild make crappier food than Hooter's?
RIP ChronicNecrosis
What would be on the menu? Chicken breasts smothered in sun-tan oil? Oysters a la sexual innuendo?
"He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe."
Will they send me a new meal each month with the option to cancel at any time?
All this science I don't understand. It's just my job five days a week.
So, Mr. Francis, please explain to me why I should go there. And "Cause we got barbecue hot wings and memorabilia on the walls" isn't going to do it for me.
This sounds like a huge money drain. I don't like to mix porn with food, it causes discomfort.
I don't know I would heavily doubt this guy, but he made money from paying girls with t-shirts to lift up their shirts. I mean who would of thought merely videotaping random drunk girls lifting up their tops would sell so heavily. I can see them putting them in high party towns to attract that type of crowd. After all men will do anything to see some breasteses.
I think the last time I felt "exiting" was due to food poisoning.
Going out on a limb here, but I'm going to wager you're not their target demo. I'm going against the grain to say it sounds like fun, though it seems kind of pointless if it's just going to be Hooters under a different name. No shame here. I liked topless coeds in college, and I like topless coeds now.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
We could easily pull a page from Take Two's playbook; after all, they're suing Jack Thompson for being a nuisance.

Hmm, I wonder if providing a decent tip will give the "service" Joe Francis is famous for.
I'm all for new restaurants but I don't see any good coming from this chain.

If he has a pair of brain cells to bang together, he probably won't be funding this venture with any of his own money. My guess is that it isn't hard to find morons willing to invest in this harebrained scheme from his many hangers on.

I disagree. The article says, plain as day: "[Francis] said "Girls Gone Wild" restaurants will appeal to women who want to feel sexy, exiting and edgy." So are you accusing me of not being exiting enough for this restaurant? 'Cause I'm telling you, I'm a thousand times more exiting than you or Mr. Francis ever dreamed. So there.

I went to hooters the other day and the food sucked. The hamburguer wasn't nearly cooked enough.
I think the waitress could tell I wasn't happy and she didn't charge me for it. I guess she liked me ^_^
They're more for beer, I guess.

How is it they come up with these terribly bad ideas?

Well, there's your mistake. Nobody goes to Hooters for their hamburgers. I didn't even know they had hamburgers, actually. If you're not going there for wings and beer, you may as well go somewhere else.

There's kind of a thing where waitresses and lady bartenders get "edgy" in some places thinking it will earn tips. FYI ladies, being a bitch will not make me like you more. I'm just not into that.

After reading that article about Joe Francis I don't think I can support anything the guy does.

Yup, I believe you originally posted a thread on it here. In complete agreement about it too. I read it over every once in a while.
