Hunting Women? sick. SICK!!!!!

I can't believe this shit, it's like a psycho training ground:

Bizarre Game Targets Women: Hunting for Bambi


Warning: The content and video in this story may be offensive to viewers.

(July 10) -- It's a new form of adult entertainment, and men are paying thousands of dollars to shoot naked women with paint ball guns. They're coming to Las Vegas to do it. This bizarre new sport has captured the attention of people around the world, but Channel 8 Eyewitness News reporter LuAnne Sorrell is the only person who has interviewed the game's founder.

George Evanthes has never been hunting. "Originally I'm from New York. What am I going to hunt? Squirrels? Someone's cats? Someone's dogs? I don't think so," said Evanthes. Now that he's living in Las Vegas, he's finally getting his chance to put on his camouflage, grab a rifle and pull the trigger. But what's in his scope may surprise you. He's not hunting ducks or deer, he's hunting naked woman.

"I've done this three times," says Nicole, one of the three women allowing themselves to be shot at. Two other women, Gidget and Skyler, claim they have done this seven times.

Hunting for Bambi is the brainchild of Michael Burdick. Men pay anywhere from $5000 to $10,000 for the chance to come to the middle of the desert to shoot what they call "Bambis" with a paint ball gun. Burdick says men have come from as far away as Germany. The men get a video tape of their hunt to take home and show their friends.

Burdick says safety is a concern, but the women are not allowed to wear protective gear -- only tennis shoes.

Burdick says hunters are told not to shoot the women above the chest, but he admits not all hunters follow the rules. "The main goal is to be as true to nature as possible. I don't go deer hunting and see a deer with a football helmet on so I don't want to see one on my girl either," said Burdick.

The paint balls that come out of the guns travel at about 200 miles-per-hour. Getting hit with one stings with clothes on, and when they hit bare flesh, they are powerful enough to draw blood.

Evanthes shot one of the women and says, "I got the one with the biggest rack."

Gidget is the one who took the paint ball shot to the rear. She says, "It hurt. It really hurt. I didn't think it was going to be that bad." When asked if she cried she says,"yeah, a little bit."

So why do women agree to strip down and run around the desert dodging paint balls? Nicole says it's good money. "I mean it's $2,500 if you don't get hit. You try desperately not to and it's $1000 if you do," said Nicole.

The men and women say this is all good, clean fun, but in Part 2 of this special report, reporter LuAnne Sorrell speaks with a psychologist who says for some men playing out this sexual aggression may lead to other more violent acts against women.

Was blasting this on his radio show. Of course, some of his sicko listeners were sending e-mails asking for details.

Hunting women? Sounds like hurting the hell out fo the women if they get hit. Why the women would agree to run around naked and get "hunted" for any amount of money I have idea. I guess it's better than hard work..

By the way they are showing the story on cnn headline news. Crazy stuff!

I heard about that on the radio this morning. I think anyone who would participate - both men and women - are sick and pathetic.

Every time I think we've stooped about as low as we can, someone proves me wrong.

I think it's awful, and sick, and disrespectful, and you know what, just put down every negative word in the dictionary and list them as what I think about it.

And yet somehow, when "disembodying" myself from my emotions, I think I have an idea of why these women would do this.

It's not exactly a great time in this country to make money at a desk job, if you can FIND a desk job. These women can make 1000 bucks a day(and if they "escape" the hunters, more than double), which is a hell of alot more than they could working as a cashier at Burger King, or in most office jobs. It's a big trade-off, but...it's money, and who knows how desperate(or greedy) they are to get it.

Yeah, I think that to a large extent it all comes down to the mula...and the disturbed f*$%s who take advantage of these women's need to make a fast buck.

Yuck yuck yuck!!!!! How can anyone find any sort of pleasure in this?!? I've gotta agree with DeltAlum. Just when you think we've hit rock bottom, some idiots come along and keep digging... I'm officially disturbed now, and it takes a lot to even shock me.

In the case of these women not being able to find a job... I'd rather see them get employed at a strip club or something more respectable than this if they need money that bad. At least patrons at a club aren't shooting them with paintballs. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, being a dancer isn't looked upon as positive, but I sure as hell think it's better than being a moving target!!!

I am a little surprised that the women don’t wear face shields. One paint ball to the eye and she’s going to have a disability for life. I could understand how women would be offended by this story but for a chance to make that kind of money I would do it in a second.

Yeah, I agree on that one, I wonder if this whole hunting crap is illegal in any way? I mean, they're actually being physically injured, the paint ball is breaking the skin, I don't understand how this can just be going on without any legal holdups...but I'm not a lawyer, and I hear that pretty much anything is allowed in Vegas...

Welcome to Nevada, home of the free.

The article suggesting that this could "lead to violent acts in the future" is kind of funny. Exactly what do they base that statement on? Has a social scientist written a paper entitled "The Womanhunt: Men who shoot naked women with paintball guns and their tendancies towards violence"?

Yeah, the guys that do this are pretty sick. However, if these women are willing to take the risk of being shot with a paintball gun, more power to 'em I guess. Who's the real sucker anyway? The woman that takes $1000 to get shot in the ass with a paintball gun? Or the fella that pays $5K-$10K to shoot them?

Are ya'll aware that people hang themselves (by their skin) on meathooks as a form of sexual pleasure? This really doesn't even come close.
