Late-night TV has plenty of interesting commercials, and one brought me back a few years.
An old friend of mine moved back to Boston when I still lived there, and we'd hang out every now and then. He decided that he wanted to get a bunch of friends together for a regular Poker Night, and he invited me -- and a bunch of his friends from college -- over to his place. He went to an Ivy League school (not the one in Boston).
So one time, we all were at his place, and after we'd been playing for a while, my buddy gets this mischievious look on his face and tells us all that his roommate has a porn video and do we want to watch? The other guys' faces lit up, so my friend ran off to grab the video. He comes back and pops it in the VCR... and the title screen comes up. It's
Girls Gone Wild.
I had to hold back laughter as these guys were oohing and aahing over the fact that my friend's roommate had a
Girls Gone Wild video and we were
actually watching it. They were practically crawling all over themselves to get closer to the TV to watch these women flash the camera. It was almost comical in nature to watch these preppy boys consider themselves as being naughty and watching porn -- with
Girls Gone Wild.
But at least my friend made an indelible impression on me. Every time I see a
GGW commercial, I always think of him.
