Thoughts about the "Girls Gone Wild" series

by Ashley Smith

I hate admitting this, but I am one of those drunk college girls that was on Girls Gone Wild. I was trying to find the commercial my friends had thought they seen me on and I came across this topic. I would love if Girls Gone Wild could be sued or could be completely taken down. What they do is just plain wrong, they promise these girls things and then use them to make money. When I did this incident I was just turning 19, over a year ago, and me and my friends had gotten a hotel room in Daytona Beach. In the room next to me was Girls Gone Wild.The whole time I would see different girls getting on the bus or going into the hotel room. For two days they pestered me to make out with a girl on camera for them. Finally on the third day all my guys friends were like " just do it, but ask for money."

So I did. I told the guy I wanted to be paid to make out with a girl, one that I found somewhat attractive, and he said I can even do better. He was supposed to get me and my friends V.I.P into all the clubs in Daytona, Free bottles while I was in the V.I.P section, and $100 dollars for kissing a girl. None of this was received. I got drunk so I could have the courage to do it and signed the form. I had to flash him my boobs, and then he brought this girl on the bus that looked like a hooker. He then asked me to make up a name and get into nothing but my panties, so I did. I ended up making out with her on the bed and when she started getting carried away I got up and said I wasn't comfortable any more. He kind of got mad and said that the footage wasn't good enough to be on the video or anything like that so I felt relieved, until I saw one of the commercials myself, and recognized my shorts.

I regret ever doing it and I wish I had not. Now I deal with my brother's friends telling them they have seen me, and hoping my mother and father do not stay up and watch television and the paid programming come on. I feel ashamed and wish the commercials would just go away! I want Girls Gone Wild to be completely demolished and for them to go through humiliation like me and most of the girls have.
