Naked 'Bambi' hunts a fraud - Las Vegas mayor LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An offer to let men with paintball guns hunt naked women in the Nevada desert was a hoax intended to sell videos, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said Friday. City prosecutors charged promoter Michael Burdick with a violation of municipal code and said an investigation showed the company had not conducted such "Bambi hunts," contrary to its earlier claims, Goodman said in a statement. Women's groups and even paintball equipment makers were up in arms after Burdick announced plans to offer a new type of adult entertainment -- stalking women who wore only sneakers in the Nevada desert using paintball guns. Burdick's Real Men Outdoor Productions, Inc. also offered a $20 "Hunting for Bambi" video. Burdick was not immediately available for comment and a spokesman for Las Vegas television station KLAS, which originally aired a video of a "hunt," declined to comment. Real Men later said that its own video had been staged but maintained it had hosted 18 "Bambi" hunts. Las Vegas investigators had determined that was not true, Goodman's spokeswoman Elaine Sanchez said. "No one has ever really purchased a hunt for Bambi," she said. Burdick faces a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail when he appears in court on Aug. 28 charged with operating a business without a license. "We have jail space and judges who take this type of conduct seriously in the city of Las Vegas," said Goodman, a flamboyant former lawyer who made his name defending some of organized crime's most notorious figures. 07/25/03 20:52 ET
