[quote name='Lil Red' post='1371484' date='Aug 27 2007, 05:26 AM']not just for its pornographic nature, but also for the fact that when i'm up at all hours of the night and flipping through channels, i seem to pass by it on at least one channel. and never mind the fact that usually as i'm flipping over it, it's on a nasty part *grits teeth* and also for the fact that i've found it on at 5 or 6 a.m. when there could be children up and watching tv!!

that is all

there's a non-nasty part?

[quote name='littleflower+JMJ' post='1372564' date='Aug 28 2007, 02:33 PM']during homecoming week last year, the girls gone wild were going to stop at one of our college's off campus hot spots and were advertising it everywhere.

Well I was really proud of my university because both the republican college student organization and pro-life college organization took action before hand and sent a letter to the owner of the business (it was a bar/restaurant), started a petition for signatures to cancel the event, and were planning on protesting with signs saying "Girls Deserve Better".

They ended up not coming into town at all and cancelled more than a week before it was schedule to happen. The newspaper even did a little story on it and really pointed out how college students and non-college students (the community) were against having such trash as that come into our town. [/quote]
that's awesome!

well, in this show where they are advertising the videos, there are some fakey interview things (i only know because it duped me into thinking it was an actual real show )

[jeffpugh]

Wow, you got it all planned out, Adt. Cudos on the Linux. No other way to do it

[PapaHilarious]

first of all, i agree with everything kateri05 has said on here. her insights are truly dazzling. whoever is married to that woman must be a lucky man!

[i]girls gone wild[/i] is so sadly representative of our culture today, it's not even funny. the marketing is brilliant -- EVIL but brilliant. reminds me of Proverbs 9:14-18, a passage that i think is still so relevant, i quoted it in my book. consider the seductress...


[quote][14] She sits at the door of her house,
she takes a seat on the high places of the town,
[15] calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
[16] "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!"
And to him who is without sense she says,
[17] "Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
[18] But he does not know that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.[/quote]

someone mentioned above NBC's [i]To Catch a Predator.[/i] i personally think that show is wonderful, even if it can be difficult to watch at times. the lie of our culture of death today is that lie of the seductress: no one will find out, it's all in secret, you're not hurting anyone. but when you expose the lie and shine the light on it, you see how ugly it all really is.

i wonder how many [i]girls gone wild[/i] tapes the men on [i]To Catch a Predator[/i] have seen...

<<nods>>





that being said, i like that the to catch a predator show exists, but i admit it does bother me. it seems like we are capitalizing off of people's embarrassment. of course, they're pretty horrible folks, preying on 13 yr old girls, but i dont know, it still makes me almost uncomfortable to watch it sometimes.

[MattyD]

It is an awful representation of humanity and it makes me embarrassed to be male! Well, thank God we men are not [i]all[/i] drooling over this type of thing. It [i]is[/i] the face of our society and more proof where things are headed... [b][i]or[/i], [color="#FF0000"]have we arrived there already[/color][/b]?

Just another reason to 1 not flip channels at night and or two get rid of the boob tube.

In my mind GGW is no worse then some of the steamy trash on regular prime time *cough Grey's Anatomy* I mean we see the same amount anatomy in both.

[N/A Gone]

I know you dont like Greys. but to say Grey's shows the same amount of anatomy as GGW is like saying Danny the Dinosaur is at the same level as of sociological reflection as Walden.

Tell me when Grey's shows nipple. Or heck, even clevage isnt on the show much. (wife is a nursing student, Ive seen them all) storyline has sex in it, but so does the old test last time I checked

[Lil Red]

please, let's not turn this unto a "is GA right or wrong?" thread

I have never seen a GGW advertisement before. What makes their marketing brilliant?

[Lil Red]

eye catching and slick advertisements. but maybe that's just me

their ads are only on late at night to try to catch young males and they assault the eyes with quick, loud shots of half-naked women, too drunk to keep their clothes on. cheap DVDs. easy to order.

to anyone with a moral conscience, it's very disturbing. i quoted Proverbs 9, because it makes me think of an updated Solomon's temptress. instead of calling from her front door, she calls now from the TV in the middle of the night.

And now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
Let not your heart turn aside to her ways,
do not stray into her paths;
for many a victim has she laid low;
yea, all her slain are a mighty host.
Her house is the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.

"All her slain are a mighty host." That's a great passage to remember.

+J.M.J.+
so this happened again to me the other night. the only reason i'm flipping channels in the middle of the night is because i'm nursing. i've started to do Office of Readings when i get up at least once, but like last night i was up every two hours (hungry babe).

My boyfriend knows that when those commercials come on, I will turn a spectacular shade of purple and start showing fangs. He thinks they are embarrassing.

I think it is pretty telling that one of my boyfriend's best friends, who is in no way an epitome of virtue (he himself once told me that he had to upgrade his computer memory to hold his porn collection ) even commented on how trashy the GGW commercials are. He said, and I quote, "It makes me think that whenever a girl bends over that you will see the words 'call now'."

GIGO.
