HDNet, Mark Cuban’s cable television network, is teaming up with the producer of “Girls Gone Wild” to create a new variety show. HDNet is preparing on airing the first episode Thursday of next week of “Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America.” According to an HDNet press release, the show will feature “thousands of wild college girls who’ll do anything to be voted the Hottest Girl in The US.”
Mark Cuban’s Girls Gone Wild scheduled by HDNet
Cuban’s announcement of the new HDNet show has drawn outrage. Some think Mark Cuban’s Girls Gone Wild, a bold try at big financial returns from late night ratings, is giving instant cash loans to a graphic porn business in disguise. HDNet is usually incorporated in cable HD packages with Comcast, DirecTV, Dish Network and Verizon. HDNet is not a pay-to-order station like HBO or Showtime.
Mark Cuban and 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: 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 kids 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 many different 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 and 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 fortune by filming young women exposing themselves and engaging in lewd conduct. Late night TV is where these videos are advertised and sold. The LA Times reports that Francis’ business, Mantra Films Inc., makes an estimated $ 40 million a year from the sale of videos like “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 The United States uncensored. Shows airing after midnight do not require warnings. The show is not listed under “adult-themed” on HDNet’s schedule, although the teaser trailer has been classified as “not appropriate for work.” There can be an edited version accessible as outlined by HDNet that could be viewed at all times and with all viewers.
