ROFL!Well, Joe Francis is used to being sued.But this story cracks me up. Is Ashley Dupre trying to tell us she's "above" the sort of behavior featured in those videos? What a laugh!
Spitzer Call Girl Sues 'Girls Gone Wild'
Dupre Claims She Was 17 When She Signed Contract

The call girl linked to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is suing the founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series for more than $10 million.
Ashley Alexandra Dupre filed a lawsuit Monday in Miami federal court claiming she never gave "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis permission to use her name and likeness to advertise the videos.
Dupre contends she was 17 and not old enough to sign a contract when the videos were taken in 2003 in Miami Beach.
A spokesman for Francis didn't immediately return a call for comment Monday.
The now 22-year-old Dupre was identified in March as a prostitute named "Kristen" who had been involved with Spitzer. He has since resigned.

On the one hand, yes, it does seem ridiculous. On the other hand, I have to say that I really don't view most people in the 17-22 age range as "adults". Definitely not at 17. Whatever the law may say, most people in that range are not mature, and I think these older men (both the GGW guy and the gov) should be ashamed of themselves for being involved with such young girls.
