No offense, but GROSS

Well I am sure everyone is familiar with the largely popular dvd/vhs hit "Girls Gone Wild". If not, you are too old and out of date to be allowed to read this blog, please exit now.

Well through college I have seen this dvd as an expected part of the a male college student's collection. Have I ever watched it? No, I've been on spring break, and with me being female, I am pretty familiar with what boobs look like. Why agonize and watch all the same sluts that you went to highschool with, not to mention the guys standing there like they all JUST hit puberty that exact second.

Anyways, that being said, I know they are stupid videos, but yet big sellers. Well, today I was greeted with this lovely announcement:

So now there is "Guys Gone Wild". Ok first of all, whoever created this (obviously a guy), knows very little about women. I would have to say, just through experience and general knowledge, that the majority of women do NOT find the penis attractive. I mean are they even showing it on here? They have to right? I mean otherwise who is going to buy a video of guys with their shirts off?? Go to the beach people. Anyways, I would really be interested in hearing other people's views on this. People could argue that guy strippers are hugely popular, etc, but that is WAY different. The male dancers are popular because ladies like the interaction, they like the guy being right there, looking at them, not because they cant get their eyes of his "manhood". I can see it as a gag gift, but other than that, I think we want something right in front of us. Porn is different because I would assume most people watch a "couple" have sex and not just some guy standing there doing God knows what.

I'm not saying this video wont sell. Hell, if I was a gay man I would be all over it, but as far as their supposed target audience (women)... they couldn't be further off.

I think my opinion is stated best in this excerpt from Seinfeld:

Jerry: "Well, I was walking around naked in front of Melissa the other day--"
Elaine: "Whoa! Walking around naked? Ahh... that is not a good look for a
man."
George: "Why not? It's a good look for a woman."
Elaine: "Well, the female body is a... work of art. The male body is
utilitarian, it's for gettin' around, like a jeep."
Jerry: "So you don't think it's attractive?"
Elaine: "It's hideous. The hair, the... the lumpiness. It's simian."
George: "Well, some women like it."
Elaine: "Hmm. Sickies."

Have a good weekend :)
