OH MY GOD !!!!!

Sweet Jesus, what the FCUK are these people doing ?! I've tried naked paintballing (voluntarily) & I can confirm, it's f*cking AGONY.
Surely this comes under some kind of abuse laws.
As to it affecting p.ball, hey, this is a country that won't ban ANY guns, even after all the school killings.

Just my 2p

How do we know that these women are actually being allowed to wear goggles? That's very easy to SAY, but as to whether or not they're actually practicing it, I'm skeptical (after his statement, something to the effect of, "It wouldn't be realistic, I don't let my buck wear a football helmet")

This cannot be good for the paintball community, and I'm glad Brass Eagle had the balls to come out against it. I wish the PSP and NPPL and their sponsors would do the same. A bunch of sick, sexually insecure sickos who want to dominate women (and have finally found a legal way to do so) being associated with paintball equipment is enough for the public to think that paintball and it's players are dangerous and irresponsible. The fact that some of you have stated that you'd participate were the women allowed a pair of goggles saddens me even more, because I'm starting to realize that maybe paintball DOES deserve the image that incidents like this bring about.

Well looks like perhaps it was a con, at the time the last post somewhere above this mentioned it, it was still set as undetermined now officially (?) it has now been deemed a hoax.

Ok the arguement of any publicity is good publicity "could" be applied but I don't think this guy realised the ****storm he was bringing down on himself and his "company"

Hoax Confirmation Site

See, I don't buy it as a hoax yet. Their proof that the mails asking to be a part of the hunt going unanswered has a problem. Consider that MANY, MANY paintball players have flooded their inbox. NOT TO MENTION more than a few threats from paintball players to flood their system, or do horrible things with open ports. If even one guy did that, I don't think they'll be prompt with thier e-mails.

Honestly, I think the jury is still out. Snopes may have jumped the gun here.

I am with you on this, that was why I posted the way I did, even the editorial on Snopes is a little ambiguous, they aren't "really" sure but I posted so that at the very least this thread was up to date.

IMHO :

Typical Americana.

Give it 3 weeks, and something more spectacular will steal it's thunder. I mean, right now, we've got Kobe Bryant (Basketball star) admitting adultery. We've got a college basketball athlete who was allegedly killed by a teammate. And we've probably got something brewing too.

And that's just in sports!

America, land of the freaks, and home of the brave. And in the end, this guy sells some DVD's possibly hosts a few more 'hunts', and fades into obscurity. Welcome to A-MORE-ica, yes?
