yeah, that was really disturbing when you first posted it.
It's still really disturbing a couple weeks later, though slightly less so since I guess it was sort of a hoax (no one knew it at the time of this story, though). Thought since I just recently found out I'd let you guys know too - check out the detailed explanation at snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bambi.asp) for more info. But basically, the guy was actually trying to sell an adult video which in addition to crap like topless mud wrestling contained a staged version of this "Bambi" hunt. For the most part the paint in the staged version for this video came from balloons filled with paint thrown at the women, not paintballs, though there were at least a couple real shots at the unprotected women. No one was actually paying to come and "hunt" the women - all the men interviewed were actually associates of the main organizer. It's all pretty bad stuff, but at least the "hunts" only happened three times - once for the video, and twice for reporters. And at least now a criminal trial possibly awaits this guy.
