Think the Hooters uniforms are just too puritanical? Not impressed by the new idea of sexpresso? Never fear ... count on Joe Francis, erstwhile paramour of Paris Hilton and puppet master behind the controversial Girls Gone Wild video series to further close the gap between two of George Costanza's passions ... sex and food. Francis is planning to open a chain of diners in the resort communities of Cancun and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, by the end of this year. The entrepreneur promises a "fun and sexy" dining experience that will also provide elements of class and comfort. He told the Los Angeles Business Journal that his eateries won't feel like strip clubs: "You'll be comfortable going in there, but you're going to get a Girls Gone Wild experience."
Francis hopes to expand internationally and hopes for "topless optional at night" in some countries. His long-term goal is an impressive one, with visions of franchising and licensing agreements and roughly 300 locations, primarily in college towns and tourist destinations.
Breaking down his business model, Francis, who banks more than $100 million each year from the Girls Gone Wild series, opines that "The restaurant business depends on doing at least 70 percent of your revenue at the bar ... you need to cater to a younger crowd .. being a family restaurant is not going to give you bar business."
Francis is also launching a line of Girls Gone Wild apparel, featuring swimwear and casual apparel.

Hey Tom... this land was a Pagan country before it was a christian one. I just uh... Thought I would point that out to you. Yea.. America wasnt founded on believing in god either. One of its founding principles was "Fredom of religeon."
If your going to preach about something, dont get your facts wrong. Any weakness we have, isnt god related. God turned his back on humans along time ago. Read your own book. God doesnt like you, Jesus does..
May the Goddess bless you with a happier life your next time around.

I am not surprised at the stupid comments about a restaurant that sells SEX. This country has SEX on the brain, yet they know absolutely nothing about it.
You can tell these gals posting their comments are not the brightest lights in the woods, they obviously have no education, so they are ready to pimp themselves.
Their lack of grammar and spelling skills says it all. We're dumb as dirt, and we're always ready and willing to let some low life take full advantage of that.

The women aren't the ones being exploited. They know what they are doing and they are getting paid well for it. There are a lot of strippers and semi-nude dancers out there that are drug free, do not have to get drunk to get up there and make anywhere from 500-2000 a night. Not to mention all that dancing is keeping them svelt and in top physical condition.
The truly exploited are the voyeurs who just can't get enough, and throw their hard earned money at exotic dancers, porn magazines and porn channels and websites.
I applaud these women and men who recognize great earning potential in exchange for the least amount of work. Sure beats the 9-5 grind where people are miserable in their jobs and spend only about 48 minutes of quality time with their children a week, are stressed to the max, have little to no savings and are paying someone else sometimes a 1/2 to a 1/3 of their paycheck a week to raise their children.

Sherri M - The fact that you find daunting the simple task of spelling correctly leads me to believe that it is also very difficult for you to understand more complex thoughts I.e. the larger picture and the underlying ramifications here. No, there's nothing wrong with the human body, but by the same token there is a time and a place for everything. People just don't seem to understand this anymore. The acceptance of deviant behavior is one of the largest undermining factors in our lives today... the effects are many and widespread. It's not just about who sees a pair of breasts... anyone who thinks this is ignorant indeed.

Sherri M. If your husband truly loves you then he wouldn't need to look outside of your home for gratification. He is using your "understanding" for his own selfish motives. WAKE UP WOMAN

Nelson (post 57) Just to set the record straight, you make a lot of assumptions in your rant. I have counseled a great many of these "adult women" who were finally able to get out of the industry... it took a very long time and believe me, those with brains and a conscience finally realized that yes they were being used. Money is NOT the great equalizer. Yes, they get paid beaucoup bucks to demoralize themselves... but they usually end up spending it all and at the end of the day are left with nothing but the emptiness.

To those who think there's no harm to this, and the girls are equal players making money: do your research. These girls are doing it for FREE, and lest you write them off as idiots, many are DRUNK and some are UNDER AGE. That doesn't make them equal players in my book. Do a little research on Joe Francis, and you'll find out about his little date rape sessions. He's a real scum bag, and I'm surprised he isn't in prison.

THe funny part is, I sleep with other people too! OFten, the same people hes sleeping with. And more often than not, my friends! LOL! Yea, thats right. I set up threesomes between him, my friends, and my self. And yes. that means I am bisexual and enjoy women as well. Sex is sex is sex. Love is Love is love. Sex and love together is wonderfull. But there is a diffrence. You dont need sex to love some one, and you dont need to love some one for sex.
His heart is mine, but his body is his own. Im not going to restrict him on what he can do with it because he is not my posession. Simple as that.
He never thought of sleeping out side of our relationship untill I asked him if he would like to have a threesome! Thats right, I started it. I invited him to sleep with other women. I WANTED him to sleep with other woman. Because I enjoy watching him enjoy him self. Most specifically with my friends to be honest. Let this resteraunt be built! Then we will have a fun place to go and eat and ogle the girls together.

Its called dyslexia. Some times I spell things wrong. I appologize for that but sometimes I cant help it, and Im not going to spell check every thing I write.

Love, is love, is love. Sex, is sex, is sex. You dont need sex to love some one, and you dont need to love some oen for sex. Simple as that.
I had a much larger post, but it seems that it was eaten by the internet and didnt make it through.
Oh, and I started him on the road of sleeping with other woman by asking him if he would like to have a threesome with me and my best friend. His heart is mine, not his body. He os not a thing. Hes not a posession. I am not going to tell him what he can and cannot do with his body.

Let's be objective and honest, my friends: there is no "right" or "wrong" opinion to this situation, okay?
Anyway, my opinion is that there's a lot of age discimination against women they get to be 70 years-old, wrinkled and stooped. So what's wrong with them having fun (even if it turns out later that maybe it wasn't fun, looking back) while they're in
their youth and men appreciate their bodies?
It doesn't mean that these women can't be developing their minds on the side at the same time. They could be college students on the side,
taking-law classds, for example.
It doesn't have to be one or the other: dumb, beautiful woman who serves food, or intelligent, well-educates scholar who's unattractive and never shows even the top part of her breasts when she wears a shirt.
Women can have it BOTH ways if they choose to.

Good morning Lorraine,
I majored in english. Just becsue I choose not to use large words does not mean that I lack the knowledge or ability to use them. That was 5 years of college right there to proove I have the capability to use proper grammar.
Again, my spelling is due to my dyslexia, I've seen people who dont cope with it as well as I. Some of my mistakes of simply mistyping, typo's. Some of them are because of the dyslexia.
But sex on the brain is not a bad thing. It's just to bad this country isn't more like the Romans. They greatly enjoyed sex, and saw nothing wrong with it. They also had no problem with Homosexuality. Though, thankfully, if we were, some of the entertainment they took part in would not be allowed due to moral and legal issues.
It is very sad when during a discussion people resort to name calling and mocking others problems or disabilities. When that happens, it simply tells me that you have nothing else to say. That you have nothing constructive to add to the debate/discussion, and that you have no real defence. I mostly take that as a sign of defeat. Thank you.
Oh, I am neither ignorant, nor am I being taken advantage of. One could actually think that I'm taking advantage of my husband, because Im getting more of what 'I' want.
Any one who does not believe that I majored in english, feel free to give me either your email, or your addree. I would be more than happy to send you a copy of my diploma and/or any other paper work you want prooving it.

When these "young adults" start earning stalkers, guys that beat them because they don't respect them, taking drugs, and then can't get anything but sleazy jobs in the future if they're not attending college then will "all of that cash" really be worth it?

Oh and "Windy" what is your doctorate in and give everyone a general location as to the prestigious job you've secured if you're so "proud" of your past job as grinder for money.
