That disgusts me. The whole Girls Gone Wild thing is disgusting. It's just so exploitive. ew.
While I was reading that piece I just kept thinking about what these young woman are going to think of their behavior in about 20 years. Are they just going to write it off to youthful exuberance? Or are they going to be regretful? I wonder about the next generation sometimes. (Now, I'm not talking about all of the next generation, there are quite a few (that I can even name) that aren't like that)
Clearly the guy is a predator. But he's a mostly legal predator commiting the equivalent of thoroughly organized date rape for profit. Being organized and careful about checking ID and getting releases makes him almost impossible to shut down. Oddly I didn't need a brain bleach. I guess I sorta figured this is what that guy and his posse were all about so although it made me sad I wasn't particularly squicked.
