Beware the Release Form

In my last posting about Borat, I said that the ignorance and racism of the Frat Boys would be available for all of the United States to see and, according to Yahoo! news, the frat boys are pissed off about it. Boo Hoo. They want to sue 20th Century Fox because they claim they were fed booze before hand to "loosen them up", and then singed waviers while they were drunk because they thought the documentary they were filming would only be shown outside the U.S. And so none of their friends, professors, future bosses, etc. would see what racist pigs they were.

I'm sure it was like pulling teeth to get a Winnebago full of frat boys to down free booze. This is the same technique used on the Girls Gone Wild videos. They get a bunch of girls drunk, get them to get naked and sign a release form, and then broadcast the material for a profit. These girls seek out Girls Gone Wild parties while their on vacation, so I have little sympathy for them when they try to sue the production company because their Dad and his golf buddies saw her straddling a bartender on a midnight infomercial. The lesson is the same in my mind. Those Frat Boys are racist and sexist and it was inevitable that they'd get busted. The girls want to go to Cabo San Lucas and get naked and drunk and party with the Girls Gone Wild crew, knowing very well that their actions will be taped. I don't mean to come off as unsympathetic, but these people KNOW THEY ARE BEING TAPED!!! If you don't want people to see what you're like when you're drunk, then maintain some level of decency while the cameras are rolling.

So if you get drunk and decide to take a shower with 4 other naked girls, or resort to Jim Crowe racism while being video taped, don't sign the release. Your parents must be proud enough as it is.
