  • "China opens an Anger Bar- where the drunken cleintele are allowed to beat up the staff.

    " It sounds very incredible...

    how's the air up there, anon?

    You seem to all have a fondness (read as tolerance) for the guy who made him sodomize himself at gunpoint. Pot meet kettle.

  • cruiser

    Um, is he not wrong? Has it suddenly become PC to be tolerant of sexual assault? Did you read the article? Do you know why everyone is saying the guy's a dick? I feel we can safely judge him without being "intolerant."

  • anon

    Well said spot. You just yelled over the internet that your ooinion is right and everyone else's is wrong. Well done; not judgemental or intolerant at all (sw).

    No one is saying he's right, you're just saying he's wrong. See how that works, not much tolerance, but a whole lot of judging in your statement.

  • odam

    In January 2004, as news reports recounted, he was forced at gunpoint to simulate sodomizing himself with a vibrator as an intruder videotaped him in his Bel-Air mansion.

    that just made my day.

    guess what Steely Dan told the Wilsons about Karma was right.

    i won't get into an argument about the franchise of GGW or why women do it or any of that. it would take hours and hours of in-person, sober-minded debate. i will say that this guy Joe Francis is a low-life piece of shit, however.

  • Spot

    intolerant, self righteous, judgmental? Read the fucking article people!

  • laura

    I agree with Bre, kenneth did you actually read the article?

    I found it most disturbing. And yeah that guy is a loser asshole to takes advantage of drunk girls. OK fine some do agree to it like Kaitlyn Bultema did in the story. But how many people out there have found themselves the next afternoon thirsty and confused. Check their phones to see who they called and asked their friends "oh my god. did i make an ass out of myself?" That's what drinking does to you, you have a good time and laugh and have fucking funny stories to tell, but you have been known to make a mistake. A fight or making out with someone you should not have.

    And that is what is being exploited here. Why are most of the girls picked up at bars? Gee cause they have been drinking...and it’s so much easier to put an idea is someone’s mind when they are not thinking for themselves.

  • Jooley Ann

    Ugh. The GGW article is very disturbing. What a disgusting man.

  • Bre

    Uh, kenneth? Did you read the article? Maybe you should. It's about more than "college" girls "voluntarily" taking their tops off.

  • anon

    We know that Austinist is not biased in any way. We're just picking on the intolerant self righteous ppl in particular.

  • Jessica

    The views expressed in News Bits! are those of the author and do not represent Austinist as a whole.

  • anon

    It's amazing how judgemental ppl can be. Because remember, their opinion is right, everyone else is wrong.

  • kenneth

    "We'd like to see him strung up, though."

    Why? Because he got some college girls to voluntarily take off their tops? GTFOOT

  • wow. that girls gone wild article is insane.

  • The city would partner with developers to own parking garages in buildings being developed.

  • that is what is being exploited here. Why are most of the girls picked up at bars? Gee cause they have been drinking...and it’s so much easier to put an idea is someone’s mind when they are not thinking for themselves.
