Here is a link to a website called Hunting for Bambi that says it is "a highly unique, niched, and controversial comical video series that spoofs hunting." It spoofs hunting by filming men shooting naked women with paintball guns.
You can buy this DVD. Note that the men are in a Hummer.I'm not sure what they mean by spoofing hunting. Is it making fun of the stereotypical hunter? Or of hunting itself? Or is it a "spoof" that's supposed to actually appeal to the supposed targets of the joke? Regardless, it's interesting that the parody uses women as prey as the source of the joke.

"Interesting" is not the term I would have used! ;-)

Sociologically, it's interesting. Otherwise, it's, you know...horrifying.

I can't believe nobody has sued this company. If this were black people, jewish, or children it would not be tolerated. It is absolutely obscene. Why would any woman take part in such a demeaning and violent display of male aggression? Women either participating or trivializing this is what I can't understand.

Same reason girls flash for "Girls Gone Wild," getting maybe a t-shirt or hat while the producers make millions off of them.
Ariel Levy wrote a book called "Female Chauvinist Pigs" all about what she calls the "raunch culture" and the ways that women voluntarily objectify themselves (and other women). It's a fantastic book.
