Attention images.google.com searchers: By means of some algorithm that I do not understand, this humble blog post has become a top result for Google Images searches on the term "Girls Gone Wild." I have not seen a spike in traffic this large since the time I ran a post entitled "Kiddypics & Kiddyvids," detailing the bust of a rather-indiscreetly named Internet chat room. While I wish that my musings on religion, consumer culture, and the law could garner the same degree of interest as those on smut, I am happy for any increase in readership, and hope you will bookmark, fave, subscribe, or otherwise return to Holy Prepuce!
For those of you who are not late night cable television viewers (read: not new parents), and thus may not have seen the new "Girls Gone Wild" commercial, I am here to inform you that the latest installment of that oeuvre features a zero-gravity sequence.
Between community service sessions for his use of underage girls in previous videos, GGW impresario Joe Francis seems to have come up with the idea of sending some nubile young ladies and a camera crew aboard a "vomit comet." For those of you unfamiliar with aeronautics, this is an airplane that attains brief periods of freefall by executing a series of parabolic arcs. Typically this technique is used for astronaut training or scientific experiments, but in this instance the mission was essentially that of all previous GGW shoots: record the young "mission specialists" removing their tops, giggling, and fondling one another.
It's often said that the space program has led to some of the greatest technological developments for terrestrial use, and, after Velcro and Tang, this one clearly ranks near the top of the chart. It does, however, tend to detract from the pretense that the women featured in GGW are just ordinary mardi gras / spring break / fraternity party attendees who spontaneously expose themselves whenever they see a video camera. While it is possible that this group of young women would just happen be aboard the same flight as the GGW camera crew, would just happen to find themselves so overwhelmed by the experience as to spontaneously disrobe, and would just happen simultaneously to discover their long-suppressed same-sex desires, it does begin to strain credulity.

Haven't seen the commercial. I wonder if they filmed it during the same trip Stephen Hawking took...

p.s. I recently read that NASA did not invent velcro or any of a score of other things that allegedly came out of "the space program" but that the agency's official policy is not to deny any such claims.
They reason it's only good press and promotes the agency, so why deny it?
That commercial aired as my husband and I were watching television, one quiet evening not long ago. Said he: "well, there's something you don't see every day."
ReplyDeleteMe: "ayup."
And the room was silent, as we pondered the strangeness of zero-gee titties, or was it just the silence of post-dinner digestion?
Now I'm going to have to rent Barbarella again.
