Girls Gone Wild on Cable? Parents Beware

The man behind the racy "Girls Gone Wild" franchise has a new show set to debut on cable this week.

Joe Francis has made millions selling controversial videos of young, often drunk women exposing themselves. Now, his reality show, "The Hottest Girl in America," is headed to the HDNet Channel.

Francis says the new show will contain gratuitous nudity uncensored, but the idea was approved by the cable network. HDNet will air the show in a 1 a.m. ET time slot.

And people ask why I dumped my cable.

[Concho]

That is not logical. The cable is just like life, you have choices of where to go and what to listen to. I am not about going to dump my cable because someone has a show on at 1AM that doesnt suit someone else. I just make the choice that I will not be there at that time, and I will not tune in to it. Otherwise, I will watch what suits me at a better hour of the day.

Don't like it? Think its amoral? Then don't watch it. If enough people don't watch it, it will go off the air. That is the beauty of Capitalism (at least until Nanny Obama forces us to watch what's good for us).

Men have wanted to look at naked women since the beginning of time. These shows, while crude, are just a modern response to that fact.

As parents, we are concerned with what our children are exposed to. We might have blocks on certain channels. But there are, among others, friends whose parents do not care and peers at school who push these shows.

"Men have wanted to look at naked women since the beginning of time."

I've been tempted to slice a few necks..but hey..self control with God's grace.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Porn has been available on cable for years.

[monocle]

You have two choices - get your kids to bed at a reasonable time or drop your cable service. Why force your beliefs on others? What I am saying goes beyond the issue or pornography but to a multitude of other issues.

Can’t wait. Will be setting the DVR.

[skepsel]

What! No pictures?

[revtown]

I agree sweet. Anyone who gets HDnet needs a cable box. The cable box has parental controls to lock out shows or channels. No problem.

[capt. norm]

HDNet is also the home of the "Dan Rather Report".

Another good reason to lock that channel out. Give it the same treatment as we do MSNBC and CNN. Actually I have my satellite receiver set to where you can't get ABC, CBS or NBC without keying in the channel number manually by omitting them from the channel list.

why don't they offer ala carte programming and billing. We pay for shows and cable channels we want and the rest can go pound sand.

THAT would be like life.

I'd dump MSNBC, CNN, BRAVO and a whole bunch of other channels. Then I'd watch Fox, Ultimate Fighter on Spike, Tennis channel, History Channel and the internet HULU channel to watch Southpark. That would be the best thing to happen to the conservatives. MTV would go bankrupt, all of the propaganda shows would go the way of Air America... and be relegated to begging the government like PBS.
