Not too long ago, I saw a special with the GGW people on VH1. Prior to seeing this special, I thought that the girls were being victimized and used as marketing tools. Now, my thoughts are a bit torn between both sides. VH1 followed a group of 3 or 4 girls who were getting ready to attend a GGW party close to their college (the footage at the party was for the newest tapes or something like that). These girls knew what they were getting themselves into...they said so themselves. One of the girls' goal was to win the Wildest Girl title. She was taking shot after shot while getting ready because she said she would be wilder if she was drunk. Needless to say, when these girls got to the party, they were all over the camera men. These girls were not victims. Later on that night, the girls were offered money to go in a room and do things on the camera (now that I think of it, these might be the girls that are mentioned in the orginal article). One girl out of the bunch didn't feel right about it and left the room. She was drunk....but again, her decision to drink! Do I feel sorry for these girls, no. They consented to the offers made by the camera men.
All things aside, I do think that Joe Francis (or whatever his name is) is scum. He is making money off of girls who are drunk and willing to flash the camera. Some people might compare this business to porn or Playboy Magazines. However, IMO, there is a major difference...the women featured in porn and Playboy are making lots of money for what they are doing. The people featured on GGW are making nothing themselves, but are reeping in the money for the creators. I do not agree with this.
