It looks like Brendan's cohorts are using the Joe Francis shame and embarrassment business model. You would order a Girls Gone Wild DVD for $10 from a late night direct response TV spot. What wasn't pointed out (except in very fine print that smears on most TV screens) is that you are buying a subscription to the GGW DVD of the month club that automatically bills to your credit card. If you tried to cancel, the GGW boiler room would tell you to go fuck yourself, knowing very well that if you fight it, they will reveal to everyone they can that you, a 50 y/o perv are buying videos of naked, drunken "college" girls.
Wow. Never heard about this before. A couple of years back, I had a telemarketer call and try to get me to accept a free copy of one of their videos. Started out sort of like a survey, the gentleman on the other end ask me a few questions about my views on "adult movies," which I responded with as long as it wasn't child porn, what someone watches in their own house is their own business.
Then the guy on the other end took a really informal tone after that, like he was my long lost best buddy from high school and calling me by my first name, and was offering me the above mentioned free movie. I said "nah, not interested." Which prompted him to ask why and I said, "I have enough porn as it is already." He then proceeded to tell me that this was "unlike any other porn I've ever seen" and blah, blah, blah. He finally gave up and told me to have a nice day. One of the most persistent telemarketers I ever spoke with.
Long story short, looks like I'm glad I didn't take the bait.
P.S.- Hi Brandon, Are you able to afford that postage yet?
