As I said before, it was likely staged especially for the media. They [the promoters] knew they were coming to do the story. In the video I have seen, none of the 'Bambis' get hit (granted the quality was a bit low, but I did not see any 'hits'), another tip-off to being 'staged' (or that the 'hunters' were incredibly lousy shots). Still sounds too insane to me to be for real, even in Sin City. Don't forget there have been several other hoaxes that got reported on by legitimate news agencies as the real thing... -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-16-2003 06:21 PM                        Jeez, I love this town...

Consenting adults or not, this is disgusting and degrading to men. The "entertainment value" of treating men as predators escapes me. There's some really SICK minds out there. BTW: I agree, they should be wearing protective eyewear...oh, and give all of 'em paint guns too. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 07-16-2003 06:31 PM                        It would be funny if this did turn out to be a hoax (I'm doing some checking with friends in the right places--will let you all know what I find!). KLAS-TV Channel 8 is considered to be the best TV news operation in the Las Vegas market (Nielson rank #52), but the overall quality of the news reporting here is still pretty laughable. It wouldn't be the first time that a local news organization got taken, or went willingly along for the ride (Channel 8 is famous here for its Area 51/aliens investigative stories).  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 07-25-2003 02:30 PM                        Here's an update. Short story: It's a hoax On TV here our ex-mafia-lawyer-turned-Mayor Oscar Goodman (see him play himself in Martin Scorsese's Casino) is really steamed. Goodman says he is going after this guy personally, vowing to put him in jail for the maximum six month term for violating the terms of his business license. Like I said, only in 'Vegas...  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
