With Girls Gone Wild, HDNet Offers Uncensored Nudity On Cable
To create a new variety show, HDNet, Mark Cuban's cable TV network, is teaming up with the producer of "Girls Gone Wild". HDNet plans to air the first episode Thursday next week of "Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America." According to an HDNet press release, the show will definitely feature "thousands of wild college girls who will do anything to be voted the Hottest Girl in America."
HDNet schedules Girls Gone Wild by Mark Cuban
Cuban's announcement of the new HDNet show has drawn outrage. Some think Mark Cuban's Girls Gone Wild, a bold attempt at big financial returns from late night ratings, is giving quick loans to a graphic porn company in disguise. HDNet is included in cable HD packages with Comcast, DirecTV, Dish Network and Verizon. HDNet isn't a pay-to-order station like HBO or Showtime.
Mark Cuban touts Girls Gone Wild
Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America is planned by HDNet to air at 1 am Eastern and 10 pm Pacific. "We're very excited to work with the Girls Gone Wild team to launch this show," Cuban says in the HDNet release. "The program is a cool, behind-the-scenes look at the GGW enterprise and a wild ride for our viewers. It's a perfect fit for the new, unrated, late-night programming block that we air as part of our 'Guys Night In' lineup every Thursday."
Parents beware of Girls Gone Wild
Mark Cuban's Girls Gone Wild on HDNet has gotten the attention of Donna Rice Hughes, President of Enough is Enough, an organization dedicated to shielding children from what it considers inappropriate content. Donna Rice Hughes made headlines in 1987 when she derailed Gary Hart's presidential campaign because she had an adulterous affair with Hart. In an interview with Fox News, she came across like a talking billboard for the show, urging kids to watch:
"Parents beware- 'The Hottest Girl in America' show is yet another sexually exploitative show that entices teenage girls and young women to bare all and behave provocatively in order to be featured on the show and potentially win the show's title role," Hughes said. "This show, in the same vein as its equally inappropriate predecessor 'Girls Gone Wild,' gets girls to imitate porn stars, strippers and pole dancers, cheered on by scores of hungry, horny boys."
Joe Francis: Girls Gone Wild riches
Partner with HDNet's new Girls Gone Wild reality show is Joe Francis. His Girls Gone Wild franchise has made him a ton of money by filming young women exposing themselves and engaging in lewd conduct. The videos are sold through late-night advertisements on cable television. The Los Angeles Times reports that Francis' company, Mantra Films Inc., makes an estimated $ 40 million a year from the sale of videos such as "Ultimate Spring Break, Vol. 4" and "Girls Gone Wild on Campus Uncensored." In 2006 Francis pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating federal laws designed to prevent the sexual exploitation of children and agreed to pay fines totaling $ 2.1 million.
Uncensored HDNet
In the overnight programming block, HDNet plans on running Joe Francis' Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America uncensored. No warning is required for shows being aired after midnight. The show is not listed under "adult-themed" on HDNet's schedule, even though the teaser trailer has been classified as "not appropriate for work." There will be an edited version available according to HDNet that can be viewed at all times and with all viewers.
