Unethical Website of the Month February 2004

"More shocking than anything you've ever seen before. Labeled by CBS News as a cross between Sex and Violence a deadly combination! Women are being hunted down like animals and shot with paintball guns. This Raw and completely Uncensored video is a cross between Bum Fights and Girls Gone Wild and is sure to be the topic of many Howard Stern Show fans. You will be completely stunned when you see some of the wildest, most outrageous moments ever caught on tape. This is without a doubt one of the sickest and most shocking videos ever made. When it comes to hunting women if you can think of it we probably show it. Women are screaming with fear as our Team Bambi hunters track them down and blast them with paintball guns..."

Yes, this is the same guy who attracted attention to his videotapes by claiming to run a service in which beautiful women were hunted in the woods by hunters with paint-ball guns. He was making it up, but the media, especially talk radio, lapped it up.

Ethics Scoreboard can appreciate satire, but this site was born in fraud, promoted by a scam, and exists in a lie. It pretends to make fun of exploitive films, but its fake pictures of naked female torsos mounted on the wall like prize bucks are not (trust us here) designed to tickle the funny-bones of lovers of irony; they are designed to engender violent, misogynist fantasies. Had this website just quietly resided in the crowded muck of the thousands of other equally vile destinations on the web, it wouldn't earn this or any other week's title. But Mike Burdick, the site's "creator," resorted to coast-to-coast dishonestly to get his slimy website noticed, and we noticed. If there's anything more unethical than a sick, degrading website that demeans women, it's a sick, degrading website that doesn't even have the courage to admit what it is.
