"Well find ya a woman...And gun her down good!"
Oh, man. Vegas just continues to beef up its reputation as the in-all-ways-wrong-entertainment capital of the world.
"Bambi Hunts". It was probably some guy's lifelong dream: start up a game in which rich guys pay $10,000 to chase nude women around the countryside with a paint-ball gun. Normally, common sense would have led him to think "Nah, there wouldn't be any girls that stupid or guys that depraved to go through with it." But wait! Sir, you're in Las Vegas U.S.A., and those are the kinds of people that keep the city alive! So badda bing; before long the guy's dream is a perverse, ludicrous reality.
And of course people are gonna be pissed off about it. If he had started any other business that got him in hot water, he could've said "at least I'm not having men pay to hunt down naked women" and landed on his feet. But this little entrepreneurial venture is so deep in the gutter that there's little anyone can say to defend it, save for a phrase like �These are just fun guys who thought they had done everything, ridden everything and hunted everything." Well shit! If they're just a bunch of fun lovin' good ol' boys, let loose the women!
This is the kind of thing that keeps feminists alive. You can just picture one sitting around bored until she turns on the news and sees something like this. Then she yells "We got one!" and hits a buzzer, and all the other feminists in the house perk up and slide down firehouse poles to hop on the Anti-Oppression Mobile. "Let's roll, girls!"
It says in this article that one of the game's "prey" admitted that she cried after being hit in the posterior by one of the paint-loaded pellets. I'm sorry, but I just can't feel sorry for this girl. I suppose when she signed up for the job she thought "running around naked eluding gun-wielding men" actually meant serving drinks in a posh bar or standing on a pedestal while rich young bachelors say "I respect you as a woman." It would be easy to end this objectifying, evil business if the guys behind it actually kidnapped these women and forced them to be the prey, but these women do it voluntarily. I think if a young woman sees playing the part of a two legged, hairless deer as a good job opportunity then she probably deserves to be gunned down with paintballs.
But even if this Bambi Hunting thing does kick the bucket (ha...as if it won't), chances are it won't be down for long; the Fox network is always looking for another degrading reality show concept...
