‘Gone Wild’ videos part of spring-break culture

Regarding “Maker of ‘Girls Gone Wild’ is sentenced,” Dec. 14:

Was this an opinion piece or a straight news story?

So Joe Francis “made a fortune persuading drunken women on spring break to bare their bodies.” Really?

None of the hundreds, if not thousands, of these women over the years volunteered for or initiated their involvement in these videos by seeking out his crews the minute they found out the “Girls Gone Wild” production was in town?

You obviously haven’t been to a youth-oriented spring break or Mardi Gras-type event if you think most of the youngsters at these things have to be persuaded to do any partying.

You evidently chose to editorialize your obvious disapproval of these kinds of videos and the activities filmed.
