Fake Bambi
It turns out that the "Bambi hunt" was a hoax, after all. It was just PR to sell the videos.

Haha it took folks this long to figure that out?? A local Radio guy (Todd Schnitt) brought up the hoax theory the day it aired. The Next day He interviewed an actress in Tampa who got paid 1k to wear a body suit and appear in the video (of which she had a copy...) A day later on the Today show this guy and one of the "Bambis" as well as some womens group spokesbabe is getting interviewed by Matt Lauer. (who's treating as the real thing). It was Hilarious! Sad but true.

It gets better: The mayor of Las Vegas is talking about bringing charges against this guy. Operating a business without a license or something.

Seemed an obvious hoax to me from the start. Guys flying in from Europe and paying $10,000 dollars? I can imagine this happening in Thailand perhaps where almost anything seems to be fair game (and cheaper), but not in the US.
