I know it's stupid but I can't help it...

I am powerless to prevent this: every time I see a commercial for any of the releases in the epic Girls Gone Wild saga I imagine some parent seeing the commercial and recognizing their daughter. Surely not everyone knows when their girl has gone wild, but anyone could just happen to see the commercial.

Anyway, it's OK, there's something about grizzly bears on now. Oh television.

This would be a great topic for discussion at my new porn community [livejournal.com profile] erotillectuals. I know one girl did sue GGW at the insistance of her family. She was not awarded any money, and the judge admonished her to keep her clothes on in public.

I hadn't heard about that lawsuit... I have to imagine some of the girls that get filmed there are pretty drunk... what was that joke the Onion made about it? "Girl gone wild actually just regular girl, only more insecure and drunk."

I was looking at your community... I like that name.

That was one of theonion.com's more brilliant moments, I thought.

...it's funny because it's true!

Dude, watching cruel nature here. The momma polar bear just lost one of her cubs. I think if I were a nature show filmer person I'd mess things up by tossing the animals food when they start starving.

No doubt. What's so great about non-interference, anyway? Prime Directive, my aunt Helga.

If the Crocodile Hunter can fondle and piss off everything he comes across in nature, surely someone could feed the various animals. I don't think we'd wind up overrun by polar bears.

I remember a couple years back there were stories going around about polar bears showing up with unusually small or ambiguous genitals... pollution was suspected as a culprit. Not sure what came of that.

Pollution, not good for bear genitals? Curious. So presumably they weren't maturing properly... pituitary damage? Heavy metals hurt brains... "Ambiguous" suggests "undifferentiated", which further suggests problems with/during gestation - polar preemies, even. Jmmmmmm... (goes off to think very hard. ...about polar bear genitals.)

Hm, looks like I had it wrong, it was either 'female bears with male genitalia', or something equally, erm, hermaphroditic:

and elsewhere.

Hmm. Worrying. Top predators are so vulnerable.

The article doesn't seem to mention whether the hermaphroditic bears were fertile, though I suppose if they're that badly poisoned, there's likely to be all kinds of other things wrong with them, as well. Poop.

You crack me up!

Hahaha!! I totally agree.
You know I'd throw 'em a sandwich or something.

Seems like it would be pretty hard not to... I would think they must feel bad for the critters when they start starving or otherwise face adversity.

Thanks, we're just getting started. I plan to fix it up nice this week.

I imagine that same thing when I see those commercials. I also imagine what would have happened to me if I pulled a stunt like that. I'd probably still be walking with a limp.
