Marketing Gone Wild
A spokesman for $hampain Entertainment, on the decision to call the after-Cup Match party "Girls Gone Wild Cup Match Style":
"When it was named, the titled raised a lot of eyebrows, but we want to separate ourselves from the product 'Girls Gone Wild', which is totally different."
Er, why put "Girls Gone Wild" in the title then? A shameless ploy to sell tickets, perhaps?
Bet it's working though.
And with a front page like that, I'm sure today's Bermuda Sun soon sold out too.
Happy Cup Match to all.

Wait so naming our event Girls Gone Wild might have some association with the incredibly well known Girls Gone Wild videotapes? Wow we never thought of it that way...
Please, at least acknowledge you're trying to cash in on the name. And be thankful no-one in the US that owns the name will ever know, or else you'd be sued very quickly.

Shame-Pain Entertainment.
Surprised they didn't steal the "Pop & Sizzle" slogan too.

Having seen todays Sun I'd pay more for more clothing - those frightening pigs should be in bourkhas.

Ruby,
Would you like a burger with your hater-ade?
I just can't stand the spelling. $hampain? It hurts us as a people.

The other Ruby, your just jealous. Can't even have a laugh without somewomanman trying to slit our throats.
And for all you horny owls out there, remember, those girls got big machettes to chop up those Cherico's wanna-bees.

What? They're pigs in wigs - if they all came from the same village you'd blame pollution. Totally NFN my bro's - peace out.
I'm sure they're beautiful on the inside.

Well, the newspaper sold out at my neighbourhood newsstand, before 9 AM Friday! At least the organizers were not trying to sell sex on the front page of the newspaper :-) Afterall, Bermuda Sun does not know Cup Match is about dental floss stuck between ones legs while baking in beautiful sun!

How does something like this work with Immigration? Were suitably qualified Bermudian booty shakers given the first opportunity to post for the position? If not, should perhaps booty shaking be a protected industry? Does Bermuda College offer some training in this. Has international business been approached to provide support?
It seems highly unlikely that you could entice women from around the world to come here for the chance to win a $2000 prize. Especially if they are forced to serve drinks in the wince-worthy named "Big Ballers" VIP club. But then again, most of these girls are putting themselves through medical school....

Nascar...
Rumour has it you need an MA to get the job.
Pretty standard BDA stuff I'd say.
