Girls Gone Charity

Jeff Taylor | September 18, 2005, 9:47am

The makers of the Girls Gone Wild vids will donate the proceeds from the sale of any title depicting Mardi Gras madness to the Red Cross. Mantra Films figures that should amount to thousands of dollars.

Sorority girls everywhere hoist a Bud Light and "woo-hoo!" in approval.

Show us your tits!
It's for a good cause.

Heh, pretty much the mirror opposite of those crooked gov't boat rescuers that demanded to see tits, and when the rescuees didn't oblige, they left them behind.

And yet another way in which the private sector has kicked the bloody shiznit out of the government in dealing with this calamity.

Not to mention the fact that GGW is gonna need a new backdrop for its tittie vids...so they had better play nice. Plus, I'll bet their mardi-gras themed vids have seen a significant drop in sales since Katrina---gotta boost sales somehow, eh?

Evan - Mardi Gras is hardly the only large party in the nation where women get naked at the drop of a veritable hat. Sturges, Fantasy Fest, and Nudes A Poppin leap to mind just off the top of my head.

Never said it was the only tittie-viewing venue. Just a pretty big target shooting location for GGW; at least, it seems that way from their commercials. I'm not a tittie-video connoisseur, so I could be wrong. But all the GGW commercials I see seem to be shot either at Mardi Gras or some sorta Spring Break Bash.

I heard they shot another GGW video in the convention center. But instead of beads, flashers were given bottled water.

Show me your jugs and I’ll give you a jug.

This reminds me of an article I’ve read about the controversy within feminist organizations over whether to accept donations from the Playboy Foundation. Some Playboy-haters take the money and think of it as reparations for the harm Playboy supposedly does to women.

Honey come on!

I bought it for charity!

I'm not enjoying it!

Remember when your's looked like that?

Honey - I'm kidding!

Honey?

So when GGW has another one of their "clerical errors" where clients have allegedly (emphasis on that part) been billed for additional videos, I suppose they could simply shrug and say "well we gave the money to a good cause."

Nothing makes me feel more charitable than the sight of a couple of nice breasts...

Give credit where credit is due: I thought of this idea first !

Now I'm covered if someone stumbles across the videos at my house...."Got those from the Red Cross."
