Gawker’s reigning douchebag of the decade, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis, is speaking out after his conviction on 5 misdemeanors which included 3 counts of false imprisonment and 1 count of assault. In an interview that was just posted via The Hollywood Reporter that happened the day after his trial, the outspoken entrepreneur railed on the jury, and his numerous critics.
Joe on the most recent jury that found him guilty:
“I want that jury to know that each and every one of you are mentally f—ing retarded and you should be euthanized because, as Darwin said, you have naturally selected yourself. You are the weakest members of the herd. Goodbye! And if that jury wants to convict me because I didn’t show up, which is the only reason why they did, then, you know, they should all be lined up and shot!”
Joe on why anyone who’s ever been a jury member is an idiot:
“The problem with the jury system is that anyone who’s not smart enough to come with an excuse to get out of jury duty doesn’t get out. Only the stupidest of the stupidest people end up on juries, you know? I’ve never met a smart person who’s done jury duty.”
Joe on how penis envy is the motivation behind all of his haters:
“You know why I’ve been criticized, why I’ve been brutalized? Anybody who criticizes me, anybody who — it’s just a jealous guy. Everybody who says, ‘Oh, Joe Francis is this’ — look at their penis and tell me if it’s small. Tell me!”
Joe on how he understands why so many people are jealous of him:
“I have private jets, I have a great life, I’m a good-looking guy. I’m not conceited, but like — look, I have girls around me all the time, whatever I want. I make a lot of money. It’s a great life. If I wasn’t me, I’d f—ing hate me.”
Joe on being on death row in Panama City, Florida (which doesn’t exist) after his 2007 arrest:
“Yeah, with all the convicted murderers. I was there on a civil lawsuit. But they wanted to punish me so bad, they put me on death row with all the death row inmates. I was on death row with the murderers for six months. Like, should I take the blue juice? The blue juice is what they’d use [to execute prisoners]. When they would get out for 30 minutes a day, they would come by my cell and talk to me about how they wanted to die. “One guy disemboweled his wife and cut out the baby and threw it away. It was awful. These people are awful. They put me on death row with convicted murderers, people that would rape and kill dead bodies. I was in an orange jumpsuit — shackled and chained in my cell. Death row, that’s how it works, man.”
Francis filed for a new trial and the court will consider this on July 9. If the motion is rejected he will be sentenced on the same day.
