This one is my current favorite. {Link-a-chow} Read this snopes debunker first. Then go to the spoof site. I think the kids look soooo cute.

so, what someone else does is not your business? well, you can, say, try to jump of a bridge all you want, but if i'm there i'm going to try to save you.

take the statement to it's logical conclusion - if what someone else does is not my business, them what that means is that i shouldn't care, at all, about anybody. yes, i know it's a far cry from people's right to a decision, but it's a distinction that needs to be made, firmly.

I strongly suspect the article is a hoax on three counts:

1) The money is reported in £ while the location is listed as "just outside Las Vegas" - which is in the USA; they would be dealing with $.

2) It doesn't make economic sense; Cost: £3000 from the hunter; rewards: £1600 per girl that escapes, £700 per girl that doesn't; 3 girls. If all are caught, you get £700 + £700 + £700 = £2100: a £900 profit for the owner. If just one escapes, you have £700 + £700 + £1600 = £3000: the exact price the hunter is being charged; the owner breaks even (this doesn't include such expenses as ammo). If two escape, you have £700 + £1600 + £1600 = £3900: a £900 loss on the part of the hunting grounds. If all three escape, you have £1600 + £1600 + £1600 = £4800: an £1800 loss on the part of the hunting grounds. This is too bad of a buisness model to be real.

3)

The game's inventor, Michael Burdick, defended its safety risks and said contestants were told not to shoot above the chest.

"I don't go deer hunting and see a deer with a football helmet on, so I don't want to see one on my girl, either," he told the Daily Star.

(emphasis added) - the Daily Star is a supermarket tabloid where I live; you can also see headlines of three legged people, space aliens, and celebrity infidelity.

Ho I LOVE this post!

Damn I like this kind of person; firm, resolute, dignified, and acting with logic instead of superficial fleeting emotion.
