A new low, America

Details remain sketchy, but we've reached a new low with "hunting for bambi." Individuals (presumably men with "women issues" pay $10,000 to shoot paintballs at naked, unarmed women. This takes place somewhere near Las Vegas, home of exploitation and electricity. There are many things wrong with hunting for bambi, though the economist voice in my head still points out that there wouldn't be a market for this without customers. So perhaps condemning it addresses merely a symptom rather than the problem.

I predict this hits mainstream media in two days.

Update:The hunting for bambi website is now up. Tremendous. I did learn, however, that your $10,000 not only buys the right to shoot paintballs at unarmed, naked women (an aside, but it seems that it would be even more satisfying if "bambi" was armed [but presumably still naked]) but you also get the entire "hunt" on videotape for home viewing. And for those of you who can't spring for the $10,000, but still hate women, you can buy a video of someone elses experience.

Finally, they have a section on their site (to which I refuse to link) depicting wall mounts of the women they've "hunted." Brilliant.

UPDATE (2):

Apparently this is a fraud, designed to sell tapes of the "hunts." Kudos to Michael for first noting the potential deceit, and some sloppy journalism for allowing this to go on for this long.
