Hmm. The fact that two of the women said that they did this 7 times is the strange part for me. I would think that it would have recieved some coverage beforehand, at least when it was founded.

If it is a hoax, then it is a very good one. I have seen it on almost every news website I visit (Fark, MSNBC, etc.)

I personally think it is deplorable, but I also think it is well within their rights to do it, so long as everyone is consensual.

Also, I have to wonder about the guys who can afford to plop down $10k just to shoot a paintball gun at someone. They could probably travel just a few miles closer to LV and find a VERY nice prostitute (legally even) for that kind of dough.

If it's a hoax, they've fooled Fox News. I saw the creator or owner or whatever and one of the women on the Fox News Channel yesterday.

I don't see what the big deal is. Everyone is a willing participant.

It is really no worse than BDSM clubs.

I got to thinking about it, and I think I'd prefer to run around naked with a gun and shoot fully armored people. That would be more of a powertrip, IMO.

I very much doubt you'd be so blase if it were being run by a radical feminist and invited women to shoot naked men.

Read Snopes, though, and it does seem hoaxy.

The difference is, of course, that this thing (if legit) is not run by radical mascunislists.
In general though, I would have no problem with it as long as everything was consensual.
I have no problems with BDSM scene neither where people (men and women) get whipped, chained etc.

Well, it's not my cup of tea anyway, even if I had that kind of money. So I am not terribly disappointed if it turns out to be a hoax.

How do you know it's not run by radical masculinists? I'm not sure what consitutes "radical", but hunting naked women with guns seems a little..."testosterony".

According to some sources, prepaying is nessicary. If it is a hoax, there will be serious problems with theft(Somebody must have registered before the site became private)

(Retracted due to the fact that the participants can have sex with their 'prey'. That caters to a bit different clientile from what I had imagined it did.)

Simple. There is no political movement of masculinism (comparable to feminism)

"Radical masculinist" does not mean "testosterony".
