girls_gone_wild So there you are in Philadelphia, wrapped up all nice and toasty in your Snuggies at 2 a.m. You’re watching the Vatican’s Good Friday service and what does your local Comcast cable system accidentally show? A commercial for “Girls Gone Wild’s Search for the Wildest Bar in America.”

It might have been Good Friday, but this was bad. Real bad.

“A spokesman for the cable company said the ad was aired inadvertently due to a test of the Emergency Alert System, during which the channel airs regular programming — which in this case included an advertisement for “Girls Gone Wild’s Search for the Wildest Bar in America” DVD.”

Now Girls Gone Wild head honcho Joe Francis says sales skyrocketed in Philadelphia.

“We may have tapped into a whole new market,” he said. “It seems that many of the same people interested in the Pope’s message are also interested in ours.”

Based on that statement, it looks like Joe Francis found the Wildest Bar in America. Now would someone do him a favor and get him a taxi. He’s in no shape to drive.
