So basically he got hammered for claiming a fantasy video was a documentary.

two misdemeanors: doing business without a license and providing false information to a public official.

Neither of these "crimes" are legitimate in a theoretically-free society.

And false information is the main product of "public officials".

I loved when 20/20 (ABC) claimed they found Buckwheat working as a grocery store bagger.

As part of his plea, Burdick apologized for "any embarrassment to the city of Las Vegas caused by such false or misleading promotional activity."

Sources could not confirm whether or not Burdick was laughing hysterically on the inside as he said that.

I agree with the idea that doing business without a license is a bogus charge and you are absolutely correct that false information is what public officials do, but isn't the guy guilty of fraud (or something similar)? I'll bet there are rich pervs who would pay $10 grand to shoot paintballs at naked chicks. As near as I can tell there would be nothing illegal about it, what would have happened if someone would have contacted this guy wanted a "hunting license"? He should have just put a disclaimer on his films and left it at that.

".....and providing false information to a public official."

If the fine for public officials providing false information to the public was $1,000 per occurrence federal, state and local governments would all be in the black.

Bet video sales see a bump from the story.

How much do you think he netted in the end?

Huh?

Nude paintball hunts were reported as fact on the internet.

Does this mean that what's on the internet is not always true?

Need I remind everyone that in the movie Bambi was a male.

That's a nasty suprise in Vegas - thinking you've found a doe, only to discover he's a buck.

Television outlets across the country took the story at face value, and a storm of media coverage followed.

And the media wonders why they rate below used car salesmen in the public trust.

Doing their job and actually getting out and investigating stories is beyond them.

They have become as reliable as back fence gossip but less truthful.

A furious Quentin Tarrantino defended giving "Hunting for Bambi" top honors at the cannes film festival..even though the filmmaker admitted in court that it was a fabrication.."Look at the film man..it's cool man..we don't get into politics."
