Well I’m not sure how much he’s looking forward to his time out of the lime light, but I for one and looking forward to thirty-five days I don’t have to worry about Joe tweaking Paris Hilton’s nipples on camera.

Blowing his nose, sniveling like a bitch and begging the judge for mercy, multimillionaire founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” video empire was sentenced to 35 days in jail for contempt of court today.*

Joe Francis, who was sued by seven women who were minors when filmed, apologized to the judge for yelling at the plaintiffs during settlement talks.

“I am sorry for my behavior. It was wrong. I had heard about appeals and things and I was confused. I am sorry, I really am,” said Francis, 34.

Francis drew the contempt charge during negotiations to settle the federal lawsuit brought after his production company filmed the women at Panama City Beach in 2003.

Attorneys for the women said Francis, who makes a reported $29 million a year taping topless women for his videos, lost his temper in negotiations and yelled obscenities at them.

U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak ordered Francis to settle the case or go to jail for contempt of court. When talks fell through, Francis lashed out at Smoak in the media, calling him a “judge gone wild” and questioning the judge’s authority to order a settlement.

By wrong, he means I didn’t think the law only applied to the little people and by sorry he’s sorry he got caught.

No worries Joe we’re a forgiving crowd, for the most part. Just keep in mind that you’re either a baller or a bitch in the pen. At least that’s what Martha told me. I’d recommend Joe stick a shank in the first convict that looks at him cross eyed, otherwise it’ll be thirty-five days of butt-darts.

It’s times like these when I ask myself, “What Would Tookie Williams Do?” Start scraping toothbrush on the floor Joe, you’re gonna need all the shanks you can get if you’re hoping to remain chaste.
