Girls Gone Wild Creator Joe Francis is Selling His Office Couch on Craigslist in Los Angeles
Huh. So it seems that Joe Francis is cleaning house, or better yet office, by way of Craigslist.
An ad was posted on the community board about a week ago, offering up Francis' 5-year-old gray office couch for sale for the bargain price of $6,000. Yes, six thousand dollars. Here's what it says (hint: not much):
We are looking to sell a high quality office furniture by the end of the month.

The couch was originally bought for $20k around 5 years ago. The couch has been used in the office of Joe Francis for the past 5 years and is still in very good condition.
Unfortunately, while the ad makes sure to point out that Francis is indeed a celebrity, there isn't much information about the actual couch, or why one would want it. Perhaps Snoop Dogg once sat on it. After all, he did have a pretty famous stint as the host of some of those videos that made Francis all that shiny couch money, so there may be a good chance.
Based on the photos, the couch looks all right. And it's apparently only been sitting in Francis' office for the last few years, so it couldn't have been used that often. But it's hard to imagine someone in the market for a $6,000 couch off of Craigslist -- the site has a "free" section for a reason -- so using the site to sell a $20,000 couch owned by a celebrity seems like an odd option to utilize.
But if for some reason you do want this fancy piece of Girls Gone Wild history, you should probably move quickly. They're looking to sell it by the end of the month.
