The Chain gone "Wild"

Dear Swami:

I'm planning to head out to the Chain Saturday to check out the Sand Bar Party, because I read where "Girls Gone Wild" is filming out there. Anyways, now my girlfriend is all mad at me. I tried to tell her it's all in fun, but she whipped a plastic cup at me. What should I tell her?

Dear Duck:

You seem to have confused The Swami for Miss Lonelyhearts, but your topic is too good to kick aside. When it comes to "Girls Gone Wild," the world seems to be of two minds:

1) There is nothing wrong with a display of the adult female form if it is done willingly,

or 2) People who participate in this stuff are dumbing us down to the Stone Age.

The truth of the matter, as we all must admit, is that this is a classic case of both sides being 100 percent right. As an experiment, run that one past your girlfriend, and see if any more cups get whipped at you.

P.S. If you do go out there, try not to stare.
