Girls Gone Wild

Driving back from Dallas the other night I got into a debate/discussion as to whether or not the Girls Gone Wild videos and that company's creator are taking advantage of drunk young women and exploiting them.

The girls argued that its not fair because we all make mistakes when we're intoxicated, and that they don't realize they're signing a release form to star in a somewhat pornographic movie that will be viewed by many.

One guy, Adam, on the other hand said that you can't use the excuse "I was drunk so I wasn't thinking" to blame these actions.

After thinking about the shame and regret that can be born from one night of too much drinking I really began to side with the girls. They mentioned a story where a girl's local news ran a segment about her appearance in one of those modest and artistic done GGW commercials. I felt bad for this girl. So now I ask you what you think... Are these girls to be held responsible for baring it all, or should they be able to excuse their actions due to bad judgment while under the influence?
