Girls Gone Wild...Who's to blame?

[James]

You don't sound like a bitch at all. People will very rarely do what they totally don't want to while drunk. However, they will do what they would not normally do if they didn't have an excuse.

I'm going to echo what about every other girl on here has said but anywho...

Ok, so I have been drunk more times than I can at all remember. But, even when my inhibitions are lowered, I would never, ever lift up my shirt and flash a bunch of guys at all, let alone a camera! I mean I think this totally relates to how some girls can get super duper drunk at parties, and then end up sleeping with some random guy that they have never even met before. Then, the next morning they regret it and blame it on being drunk. I mean, I know how to drink, but I've never slept with some random guy because I was too drunk not to. Obviously the alcohol is a factor, but come on, if you know alcohol is going to make you completely lose any respect for your own body and you keep drinking, and keep accepting drinks, isn't it mostly your own fault?? I probably sound like a major bitch here, but oh well..

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.

I've seen the VH1 show as well. The sad thing is: Joe Francis will continue to make these videos as long as there's a need for it. you can get him arrested for a bunch of charges and he'll get out of it without a single scratch on him because he can get the best lawyer money can buy.
