My friends know me. My colleagues know me. And V-Day organizers know how to panic. I received well over a dozen pointers to this article about Hunting for Bambi, a game where men pay large amounts of money to hunt and shoot naked women with paintguns. The site hilights its shocking blend of sex and violence.
