These girls get paid nothing for being in these videos, and yet they will never escape them. Their reputations are ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Gone Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 most are too drunk anyway. be suprised what a girl with low self-value issues and a daddy complex will do when her friends are doing it too. High school sucked. Could you imagine fallin in love with your princess and finding out she was on one of those? man. Lets just devalue the awesomeness of sex and the "woah-whombawhomba-woot-woot" factor of the female body. My one year anniv was Aug 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 [quote name='CoffeeCatholic' post='1371600' date='Aug 27 2007, 01:36 PM']When i was at home this summer, the phone rang. My dad wandered over to it and picked it up. "Hello" (pause) "you're from WHAT?!" (slight pause) "I think you have a wrong number, a VERY wrong number, does your mother know you're doing this?" I was already laughing, but after he hung up (they evidentially hung up on him before he could tell them anything else) I asked him who it was. It was Girls Gone Wild "calling us back"!!! I certainly hope my 17 year old brother didn't call them in the first place, but either way, that conversation was hilarious! Dad wanted to tell her that she has the worst job in the world and should be ashamed of herself and all about how horrible porn is (Go Dad!) but she hung up on him before he got the chance![/quote] LOL That happened to my husband, only it was male callers telling him he'd won free DVDs. He tried the wrong number line, but when they kept calling back every day he started cracking jokes and laughing at them. They stopped calling. [quote name='prose' post='1371608' date='Aug 27 2007, 01:47 PM'] You CLEARLY do not have children!! [b] There are nights when 5 or six in the morning is the time that the kids are just going BACK to bed after waking up at four.[/b] May not be the greatest way to start the day, but it certainly helps with my sanity sometimes!![/quote] Oh geeze, I hear ya! lol My kids do that ALL the time! [quote name='Totus Tuus' post='1371850' date='Aug 27 2007, 06:48 PM']Yup, I've experienced that before, being the oldest of six kids (most of whom, except for Ora et Labora, are a LOT younger than I). The kids know not to turn on the tv in our house without permission. If they get up first, they can be disciplined enough to stay in their rooms if that's mom and dad's rule [/quote] My kids know enough not to turn on the TV without permission (we actually have a small TV we rarely use and then a projector we use for movies, no matter what they have to ask since usually they want to watch movies on the wall and they can't operate the other stuff alone). Usually they are fine to read some books and play with their toys, but sometimes after a long night I oblige them. Letting them watch "The Sound of Music" so I can lay down and eek out another 20 minutes of rest isn't going to be the end of the world. I have had the chance of being both the big sister (second of 12 ) and the parent. Believe me, being the parent is a whole different ball game. As big sister we do a lot, but the difference between big sister and parent is [b]huge[/b]. I wouldn't say that watching TV is the wrong way to start the day unless I knew it was a method being used in excess or what was being watched was garbage.

adt6247 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 You could do what I did 4 years ago -- sell your TV. It makes life a lot easier, particularly if you have a busy schedule. My kids certainly aren't going to be allowed to watch TV, and their internet access will be strictly monitored, logged, and reviewed daily. No way my kids are going to get through my firewall...

kateri05 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 i think not watching any tv at all throws the baby out with the bath water. there are plenty of educational shows out there that are great for learning fun things (awesome cats in the wild special on PBS the other nite! ), that can be enjoyed without allowing kids to watch the rest of the trash on tv. and if i did have cable, the great stuff on discovery, animal planet and ewtn is definitely worth watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 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.

Besides, I haven't come up with any clever way to make sure that the kids don't change the channel to something racy when I'm not in the room. I guess I could set up a Linux-based DVR in the server room, and have a dumb terminal driving the TV with read-only, and only let them watch pre-recorded shows without a fingerprint scan... Also, I'd be watching Food Network 24/7, and never get ANYTHING done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaHilarious Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 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...
