Girls Gone Wild!?

Imagine this, it's late at night, you're sitting at home watching your favorite stand up comedian on Comedy Central and you're with your girlfriend or significant other. The evening is going smoothly until that program cuts to commercial and suddenly your television screen becomes a softcore pornography video for the next thirty seconds. Not only is there now a tension in the air and the fun has been sucked out of the room, now the guy is placed in a compromising situation; does he change the channel or not? Imagine how uncomfortable the young lady must feel being subjected to such material. A perfect evening has consequently been ruined by 30 seconds of obscenity.

This scenario happens all over America and for one I am tired of seeing it happen. Girls Gone Wild, while an interesting premise is juvenile, offensive, and irresponsible. Not only does the infomercial come on during every commercial break from 11 p.m til 3 a.m., but it falsely advertises young college women as these mindless drones that can't help but take their clothes off at the sight of a camera. Is this what we send our daughters, sisters, and cousins to college for? To be ogled by men for their own profit? I'm sorry but if these guys came to my sister or daughter's school, I'd be on television. I'd be on "Cops" because they would be coming to arrest me for murder.

Not only is the program offensive, but unethical as well. Do these women get paid? Do they sign informed consent forms? Are they in the correct mindset to understand the wild journey they are about to embark upon? If the answer to any of these questions is "No" then Girls Gone Wild has to go. I am a respectful man, yet I admit that I have lusted after females based on sheer physical attraction. However, I couldn't fathom degrading young women by asking them to strip for my camera so I can get paid for their nudity.

It has come to my attention that recently the creator or founder of Girls Gone Wild has been brought to justice, but I believe they are still distributing videos and dvds to all who order them. And it seems that even though they have no CEO, new videos are still being created and sold. I believe that this crude, obscene spectacle will not have it's wrongs made right until all sales and advertising of the product cease. We need to further promote the integrity of America and it starts with ridding our country of programs like Girls Gone Wild.
