So, if you’ve been on social media at all today you may have seen the various stories about James Franco allegedly attempting to “hook up” with a seventeen year old young woman via Instagram. In case you missed it, here’s a highlight:
Girl goes to show. Girl meets Franco and takes Instagram with him. Girl “tags” Franco in photo. Franco tries to score with girl.
I mean, in my opinion, he seems to come across as a petulant teen boy with blue balls at one point, (after the girl once again asks for proof of identity) saying “I gave it to you. If you don’t wanna meet, then text me when you do.” As in…call me when you’re ready to put out? And then, in a “surprise twist” (haha,) girl is too smart to fall for it and tricks Franco into proving his identity with photos. And despite the fact that Franco is obviously looking for a booty call and not much more and was trying to sign off when she wasn’t interested, despite the fact that she is barely this side of legal (apparently 17 is legal in NY?) some people on social media and news comment sections are feeling bad for Franco, and blaming the girl, like she somehow “entrapped” him. Even if it’s legal and she is beyond the “age of reason” and legally able to make a yes or no decision on whether or not she wants to be another notch on Franco’s bedpost, she tried to catch him in his bullshit, and some people are pissed at her for it. What does that say about how far our society has or hasn’t come in regards to gender differences and sexuality?

Oh, okay, so he admits to being caught being a creeper. Does this “confession” change the fact that he was trolling for young poontang?
I hadn’t paid any attention. Whatever. She’s pretty cool in that she didn’t go for rich n famous just because…rich n famous. I’d guess most girls would? Even rich n famous need a reality check sometimes.
Well…it’s not like it would get her anywhere… She wouldn’t get money or anything…just the dubious honor of saying she banged James Franco.
Maybe! I think most youngin’s would be looking for more. She got it, by saying no – publicly!
Good point.
He just got the horn for the wrong pretty girl – they aren’t all gold diggers! I’m sure he managed to find something else to do with his lust.
That’s not what I meant… I mean, it’s not so much about her behavior as his.
lol weird…
I understood that he thought that she was turning 18 in a few days and so he was just making some future plans… Aren’t there worse things for a girl than celebrating her 18th birthday with James Franco? The thing also about lust is that it makes you forget all the rules. A red haze… That’s why i don’t socialize and especially stay far away from any girls or women! But maybe i misunderstood again. In that case, please forgive me. In any case: i don’t want the bitchin’ brigade back!
Last I checked, “forgetting all the rules” because of lust tends not to be an excuse in the eyes of the law. And, all legality aside, he was just being a creeper.
When did YOU become a law respecting citizen? I think the law is pretty messed up. Consider this: People keep asking me all the time for money. Money for rent, money for taxes, power-supply, food, and what not more! And when i don’t pay, then they enforce THE LAW upon me!! I don’t like it. No i don’t like it at all!!!
Ain’t that the truth!
