Saturday night in Rome, Ga. another "Girls Gone Wild" event brought hundreds to a nightclub, but many were disappointed after film crews were not present inside the club. The Rome News Tribune reported that McCrobie's bar had asked city officials if a film crew could shoot inside the nightclub in search of "America’s Hottest Girl." The officials denied the request, though a "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus was parked nearby. About a dozen protesters picketed the event.

The first "Girls Gone Wild" video was released in 1995. Founder Joe Francis has been involved several controversies in the past years, including charges of tax evasion.
