Joe Francis, founder of the Girls Gone Wild empire, compared himself to Jesus during a recent interview for Fox News. He’s currently in jail in Nevada on tax evasion charges. He recounted a story from his time in the Florida penal system.

“They would walk me – this is walking me to the shower, down the hall, and the inmates were mocking me on both sides, you know, and scream at me and – they weren’t in these conditions. And you know, I’d just be crying.

I fell again, and they came and they picked me up. And it was the chaplain. He had been walking in the hallway. And he looks at me, the chaplain of the thing, and he says – he says, “Son, have you thought about Jesus Christ?” And I’m crying, and I look at him and I go, “Every day! Because this is what they did to him.”

Needless to say, this is already generating some controversy with some folks saying he is comparing himself to Jesus.
