Has anyone else seen this? It’s a trading card set using real boys aged 12-22. Girls collect them and play a game where they try to figure which boy their girlfriends would choose. They can also access a website with more boys.

I’m surprised the women’s rights groups aren’t all over this. They certainly would be if there was a similiar version for boys.

In reference to the reaction of various women’s groups: if they haven’t said some really nasty things about this “game” then I’m as surprised as you are.  
In reference to the game itself: eeeeeewwwww.

They had it on “Politically Incorrect” one night (few weeks ago). I think the whole idea is twisted. I mean, WTF??? I agree, if there were similar cards featuring teenage (and pre-teen) girls, there would be all kinds of protests. My question, what boy’s parents would let their kid be involved in this sort of thing?

Anyone else get a vision of the NAMBLA creeps getting all hot about this game?
