"i'd appreciate a hand." Why are your's too busy whatching the tapes?
Can anyone provide a reference on the 'minors exposing their breasts in public isn't child porn' idea? 69.154.177.104 02:56, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me there's something moderately important missing from this page, a reference to a (I believe) federal case regarding a young woman (but of age) who sign a release for her images to be in a Girls Gone Wild video (who later sought to block release and distribution). The judge (herself a woman, I believe) issued a lengthy and not terribly sympathetic written opinion, dismissing the claim. Blondlieut 04:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
This whole section looks like somebody's paranoid delusion. Where is the evidence, aside from the variable quality of the videos?
The section is true, oh nameless inquisitor. They're not necessarily the same type of deal as Girls Gone Wild, i.e., they're not for sale anywhere that I know of, unless maybe as a bootleg in New York or something. They're downloaded, and feature the Girls Gone Wild 3D logo and T-shirts sometimes, but rarely have any real format, similiar to Girls Gone Wild or otherwise. There's also a franchise known as Wild Party Girls which has been advertised in 30 minute segments late at night on some networks such as Comedy Central and TBS, which is very obviously fake, in that girls are on camera saying how they didn't know they were going to be filmed, although they don't object to it. The whole idea of that is that there's a sorority, and a cameraman who is there sometimes, and films these girls doing things they wouldn't expect themselves to do. The videos don't try to conceal the fact that it's all fake, really. They also have to display a disclaimer stating that they're not associated at all with Girls Gone Wild, a subsidiary of Mantra Entertainment. That's all I know about that. Let's pretend that isn't much. 75.2.11.89 06:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for clearing that up, but the Knockoffs section names GGW: On Campus and GGW: College Girls Exposed as fakes, but I own DVDs of both of those, they are obviously legitimate, you can even buy them on Amazon. I'd edit that part myself, but whenever I change anything on this page somebody else just changes it back again...
This section was poorly written and so I fixed some of it. Gingermint (talk) 06:28, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
How objective is the title Media Guru? I would hardly call this guy a media guru.
> I would tend to agree. A Guru is different 'animal' (for want of a better word). This guy just uses DRTV (Direct Response TV). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.239.164 (talk • contribs) 12:36, February 8, 2007
Legally, exposing oneself in a public area constitutes no expectation of privacy... I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in New York exposing yourself in public is a violation of the Penal Law [2] section 245 Public Lewdness and it's a B misdemeanor, and frankly I'm a little offended by the indulgent, apologetic tone of some of the writing in this article. And I don't think Wikipedia should be celebrating the success of an outfit that's been compelled to pay million dollar fines for scamming people and violating federal law.

§ 240.30 Aggravated harassment in the second degree.
A person is guilty of aggravated harassment in the second degree when,

she:
1. Either (a) communicates with a person, anonymously or otherwise, by
telephone, or by telegraph, mail or any other form of written
communication, in a manner likely to cause annoyance or alarm; or
(b) causes a communication to be initiated by mechanical or electronic
means or otherwise with a person, anonymously or otherwise, by
telephone, or by telegraph, mail or any other form of written
communication, in a manner likely to cause annoyance or alarm...
Aggravated harassment in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.

And, you know, I almost forgot, but since you're quoting case law, let's not forget to mention that the statute still stands, and that the specifics of NY v. Santorelli [3]et al do not necessarily apply in all cases and circumstances, and that "appellants' conduct was obviously intended as a political statement" and that this being recognized by the court influenced the court's decision, and probably explains the suggestion that the case was not vigorously prosecuted, and that ultimately this case has nothing to do with drunken co-eds getting a little "wild" and a little "crazy" and exposing themselves lewdly in public for the benefit of a commercial enterprise.

this area had a bit that said joe francis' recent legal actions inspired a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode. While it seems logical it is in fact wrong it was actually the original series of the franchise Law & Order that had the episode inspired by those incidences. so i changed it Stellrmn 05:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
could we put that here somewhere, I mean there has been numerous references to GGW in popular culture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.89.176.176 (talk) 18:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC).
Been there done that, this is everything I know, perhaps everyone who knows references could add them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.91.205.176 (talk) 22:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Someone just edited the article to say that Oregon has no laws on public nudity or indecent exposure. After a little digging around, I found: "ORS 163.465: (1) A person commits the crime of public indecency if while in, or in view of, a public place the person performs: [.....] (c) An act of exposing the genitals of the person with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of the person or another person. (2)(a) Public indecency is a Class A misdemeanor. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, public indecency is a Class C felony if the person has a prior conviction for public indecency or a crime described in ORS 163.355 to 163.445."
Since conviction under this statute makes one eligible for the chemical castration pilot program (oh, joy!), I thought I'd revert that last edit, lest any Oregonians go wild and live to regret it. Poindexter Propellerhead 03:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Who on earth is Lauren Shackelford, and why is she credited with founding the GGW franchise?! Her name has been added back to this article on more than one occasion (by otherwise responsible registered users) to replace Joe Francis's, but the only evidence that she is or was involved in GGW is this article.

My apologies to the person who wrote this sentence but I saw a need to change it: "However, toplessness in itself is not protection against arrest; it is possible for women to be arrested for violating other criminal statues while topless, and many of the women featured in Girls Gone Wild commit other acts in public that could be cause for arrest."
I think I know what you meant but it was too vaguely written. Surely, one cannot expect immunity if one were to rob a bank while topless... ? And, by the way, it's statutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.132.20.2 (talk) 03:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't there sort of a parody of Girls Gone Wild in the recent movie "Piranha 3D" called "Wild Wild Girls", Jerry O'Connell and whose character is based off of Joe Francis? --71.70.140.119 (talk) 15:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Under Content: "If they touch their breasts or genitals or another person's, it is considered pornography, under U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 2257 and is regulated, as such." I've seen plenty of movies where breasts are touched and they're definitely not considered pornographic. I think this needs expanding to explain the difference between movies and these videos, for those who have the knowledge. I'm sure a lot of folks do not understand.

is this hard porn, borderline hard porn or soft porn?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.213.7.98 (talk) 08:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Yeah there's clearly a mistake here: In Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity, Jeff mentions that (after his performance in Ft. Lauderdale Florida) that is where they tape the most of the Girls Gone Wild DVDs. His puppet Walter later comments on how that is only during spring break and that "the rest of the time it's Girls Gone Saggy, then Girls Gone Senile, and then it's just Girls Gone." You have two that's in this sentence "Jeff mentions that (after this performance) then another that. This is incorrect grammer. I would consider changing this.-James Pandora Adams —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.152.59 (talk) 22:05, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
There are so many films from the GGW collection that it would take forever to cite them all. If there a a dozen or so that are cited and the rest are not, is there still cause to leave the "unsourced material" tag under that section? If so, any suggestions on an easier way to cite them all? Thanks. --Morning277 (talk) 19:22, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
I will be working on this article for the next several days. I notice there are some original research and citation needed issues, and the lead section is pretty undeveloped considering the length of this article. There's also some dead references, and some references are to IMDb or Amazon, so I'll work on that too. Overall, there's an underlying confusion to this article, hopefully my efforts bring some clarity. Blueskymorning (talk) 00:00, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved - a comment on nom's rationale. WP:Notability guidelines do not provide for comparative notability between article topics. No article is more or less notable than another. Thus, the rationale has no standing in WP policy. Mike Cline (talk) 14:05, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
– The 1929 film doesn't have a shred of notability in comparison to this. Unreal7 (talk) 13:38, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
*Misplaced template, again templates should be put on disambiguation page proposed to be moved. Putting the template on one of the pages listed, in this case the pornography article, tilts the alerts. Done like this WP Film editors won't see the proposed move.

Seriously. What is "101+"? Is it 102? 103? I'm guessing at some point the company advertised that they had "over 101!!!" titles. At the moment, we list, by my count, 305. I don't know that this is correct (not that it matters), so I am using the round figure of 300 and "over". If we could determine that there are exactly 305, we could state 305. We would not state "304+".
Somewhere, in the bowels of the Internet, there is probably a tragic site set up by someone who imagines himself to be an "archivist" of this dreck. His site is not a reliable source. If the producer's site still exists, it is likely not a reliable source. Undocumented ages? Meh, pay the fine, delete the title. Threatened lawsuit? pay a small settlement and delete the title. Whatever. In any case, this extensive and mostly unsourced list of titles is simply trivial. We barely are able to compile a list of episodes of "The Tonight Show". We do not have a list of "Let's Make a Deal" episodes. The 10 year test applies. 10 years from now, someone could conceivably be researching something and want to know how many times Carrie Fisher was on "The Tonight Show" each year. I'm hard pressed to see someone wondering how many ways to imply their subjects are close to underage the producers could think of.
Oooo, "But the titles are listed on IMDb/Amazon/ebay/whatever." Yes, so are all of the Beanie Babies, issues of Entertainment Weekly, etc. There are not, however, independent reliable sources listing any of them. Why? Because the segment of society that cases is tiny. Lots of people bought Beanie Babies, read EW, watch porn, watch "Let's Make a Deal", etc. Virtually no one must know right now who was on the cover of EW in the first week of August 2004.
