Disturbing use of paintball guns

All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke

*edit* I couldn't remember who said the quote. So, I looked it up.

IT made me sick to my stomache to hear about this. Forget the women think about paintball. Holy Crap! Not even a mask. I cant talk i really am sick to my stomache

You cannot sign away your rights and negligence also cannot be waived! No, the emails will not make these scum bags turn over a new leaf, but it will help crash and clog their server so that prospective customers will not be able to contact them.

i do say...that is very disturbing. Just a sign of the times...and a look at what our future is. And that one guy in the video looked like a rapist....soo i think this is going to attract the wrong crowd.

[kevdupuis]

Definatly sick of mind.

[Recon by Fire]

The appeal of this cannot be justified by an attraction to naked women. It is in Las Vegas of all places! There are tons of naked women all over and brothels and escorts to boot. So this obviously appeals to a sick depraved mind that has fantasies about aggression against women. Prime candidates for future rapist and serial murderers. Maybe their Mommies just did not love them enough!

It would be nice to see some of these morons out on one of their hunts and get ambushed by a pack of vigilante paintballers with high end markers throwing massive amounts of paint! Not that I would endorse any usch illegal activities and such

What nobody here is mentioning is that it's a precursor to sex. The $10,000 price tag includes, among other things, sex with the 'victim' you shoot. (Which they euphomistically call "Stuffing")

I don't agree with it myself, but in Vegas everyone has an angle. As long as the guy can get $10,000 a 'customer', and as long a women don't understand the risk they're putting themselves into, he'll have a buisness. No matter what we tell him, this guy won't change his mind. Money talks, and at $10,000 per customer, we can't persuade him elsewise short of legal action (Can we under some kind of 'endangerment' clause?)

BTW, they're talking about it over on p8ntballer.com as well. It really, REALLY is stupid,yes. Welcome to Vegas.

I doubt many of our main objection is that it involves sex. I care less who these women and men have sex with or wether they are paid/paying for that sex. I don't even care if these women are are taking part in a dangerous activity. I am all in favor of stupid people eliminating themselves off the face of the planet. But what I do mind is that in this case is that they chose to incorporate anything paintball into their stupidity. Though, as sateted prior, the male hunting women is a bit whacked. Leave the hunting for the dating venue!

Idea?

How much would it cost to hunt the owner and some of his clientele?

Possible Legal Ramifications

I agree with all that this is a very bizarre idea and totally inappropriate. I believe if I was a maker of markers I would be looking into this to ensure my products weren't being used in this fashion. I would additionally tell the companies whose products are being used by this company and then sue them for improper use of my gear. eventhough my product would have "this is not a toy etc..." I would find every possible legal recourse available to me to stop this company from using my products knowing well that one idiot will shoot a woman in the face and at a minimum blind her let alone potentially kill her because of a point blank shot that enters the brain cavity through the eye socket. If anyone doesn't believe that could happen think of a 205MPH object hitting you in the eye. The chances are you could very well die from that. I am at a loss with this one but I would figure out a way to put this idiot out of business if not in jail. Just my 2 cents.

The only 'good' thing about this in my opinion... is that I dont think this would hurt paintball's image at all... it is too bizarre and wrong for ANY crowd (any crowd that we care about), and no one except sick flicks would ever watch/do it.

Have you seen the preview on their website?

WTF

Then you "mount/stuff" him!!!

[~Backdraft~]

notice how in the article they say the paintballs are traveling @ over 200 miles per hour...hehe funny. just goes to show how much they know about paintballin....

[Clockwork_Orange]

Not only is it ridiculous and horrendous, but the creator is a jerk and the women are so foolish for particpating!

What until one of those ladies lose an eye...they won't be looking so cute afterwards.
