I've always struggled to understand who makes up the audience for the Girls Gone Wild phenomenon. The pubescent male teenagers who desperately WANT to see this kind of stuff as anyone older would be bored to death by the inanity of it all. A few pitchers at the local pub will get you the same kind of attention. Just go there and hang out for a while. College towns are optimal for this type of behavior. Don't get me wrong. I like bare breasts as much as the next straight guy. But the Girls Gone Wild methodology just makes it a whole lot more difficult than it needs to be. The main problems? All the videos are small and low-res, yet the pictures don't move, the girls are a mixed bag in the hotness department and you have to wade through an awful lot of nonsense just to get a split-second peek at some tits. It's like getting a PhD just to work at McDonald's.
The site's primary function is as a marketing tool for the DVDs, which you're better off just buying directly if this is the sort of thing you're looking for. The DVDs will at least let you skip around or see the sights clean and clear, rather than a blurry, skippy, streaming, steaming pile straight from the website. Do yourself a favor; just go to Mardi Gras or Cancun for spring break. You'll see the same things, in person, and have the cultural and travel experiences along the way that you won't get from sitting at home on the computer.
The only way I could really recommend this site was if it were free and served solely as a promotional tool for selling more DVDs. As it is, you pay $30 to get in, only to watch video clips of sub-par quality and put up with the aforementioned tedium of listening to these drunken airheads yammer on and on when all we really want to see is some tits. Then, after shelling out the initial fee, you're better off just buying the discs themselves.
There's not even that much here to begin with. Maybe a dozen different video sets, screen captures serve as a pics section, and nothing is as good as it should be, given the current state of Internet naughtiness. The only thing worth a look are the Web exclusives, which get a little closer to what we'd call porn. It's mostly girls masturbating and talking about…something, I skipped though most of that to get to the POINT of watching this stuff. This still was hindered by the overall streaming setup, which means if you want to jump around, you'll have to re-buffer the video and wait a minute for it to reload. Ugh, talk about lousy user interface. Thus, as Web content, it sucks. As a slightly interactive commercial for buying the videos, it suffices, but only by making you pay for the same thing twice.
