Well, there is at least one person who is serving up something besides all his luvin to the Queen of Pop. That would be “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis, who slapped Madonna a cease and desist letter regarding her upcoming MDNA track “Girls Gone Wild.” The letter demands that the crucifix-affixed diva negotiate a licensing agreement for his “trademark” of the brand “girls gone wild” and threatens her with a lawsuit if she performs the track at the Super Bowl. Find out more below.
According to TMZ, the letter was sent to Madonna and her “co-conspirators,” NBC and the NFL, and they demand an answer by 5 PM today. Francis’ lawyer writes: “Your misappropriation of my clients’ trademark will not be tolerated.”
We find this pretty ridiculous — “girls gone wild” is a commonly used phrase these days, and does classy Mr. Francis really take his “brand” that seriously? (Clearly, no one else does.) Wouldn’t this, if anything, just be more publicity for Girls Gone Wild anyway?
Besides, Joe Francis would be nowhere today without all the college girls who were raised on Madge’s music videos and liberated attitude toward sex and nudity. Doesn’t he realize Madonna practically invented taking her top off for the cameras?
If anything, we think Joe Francis should have to cough up a penny to the Material Girl every time a nubile Spring Breaker bares her chest for his site. Let us know what you think on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.
Oh, Madonna invented nudity too?

Sometime in the not so distant future we’re going to have to pay some company royalties every time we fart because that will have a patent on it as well.
Pay the man. She can afford it. I don’t really know anyone who says this as a phrase unless you hang out all day on porn sites.
Isn’t this the same creep who was having sex with underage girls, GTFO

I love Madonna but the first thing I thought when I saw that song title, was the dvd’s he sells. That’s his brand and he has the right to protect it.
