Girls Gone Wild
For those who don't watch television past 10pm, Girls Gone Wild is a video series that follows the exploits of female exhibitionists. Amateur videographers from across the globe send in their footage of naked women for a handsome reward. Girls Gone Wild promises real girls, totally uncensored. I take issue with the uncensored claim because this is softcore porn, but the girls certainly look real to me. Then again, I don't get out nearly enough.
Mardi Gras Madness
One might wrongly presume that Girls Gone Wild 2: Mardi Gras Madness is identical to Girls Gone Wild: Mardi Gras College Co-eds, which I reviewed several months ago. The theme is the same, 'beads for boobs' on Bourbon Street. However, Mardi Gras Madness is inferior to Mardi Gras College Co-eds in both quality and quantity. Allow me to elaborate...
Live Nude Girls
To the untrained eye all of the Girls Gone Wild films might appear to be the same, but I assure you that they are not. The primary difference among the films is the setting, from the beaches of Cancuun to the privacy of a college dorm. Mardi Gras Madness focuses exclusively on the Mardi Gras parade route and the surrounding clubs, where the women have long been known to show a little skin for some plastic beads. This stands in contrast to Mardi Gras College Co-Eds, which visits the sandy beaches as well as Bourbon Street. Even in porn, there is much to be said for a change in scenery.
My complaint about the lack of diversity in Mardi Gras College Co-eds also holds true for Mardi Gras Madness. Girls Gone Wild puts its footage of black women onto separate videos such as Funkin' at Freaknik. I understand that they are trying to market to different audiences, but it couldn't hurt to act like we live in the 21st century for a moment.
Mardi Gras Madness can be visually monotonous at times. If you watch for too long at a given stretch then you may become disoriented; it's sort of like snow-blindness for perverts. The voice of the same male videographer also grows tiresome. He sounds like one of the muppets, but I can't figure out which one. Nothing breaks the mood quite like a high-pitched chuckle. I also recognize the voice from other volumes, indicating that he is a professional whatever-you-call-this. It's really sad when you think about it. The least they could have done was put in some cheesy keyboard music.
The video quality appears to be pretty good, indicating that this type of endeavor does in-fact pay well. The sound quality is also pretty good, but how good does audio need to be when all they're catching is drunken hooting and hollering? I'm just wondering when the soundtrack will come out.
The last major complaint I have regards the copious amount of filler-footage. Interspersed among the bouncing boobs and butt-cracks are clips of fully-clothed girls dancing. If I really wanted to see this then I would watch Rhode Island Cable Access, which shows footage from Providence clubs a few times a week. Remember, making it longer doesn't actually make it better. But even with the filler-footage Mardi Gras Madness barely runs 45 minutes. At $9.95, this is highway robbery.
Girls Gone Wild 2: Mardi Gras Madness is one of the earlier films in the Girls Gone Wild series and it certainly shows. Many of the newer Girls Gone Wild films push the envelope further than a couple of boobs and some pubic hair. Some feature hardcore content, including penetration. Others focus on extended fantasies (Dormroom Fantasies) rather than short clips. Indeed, Mardi Gras Madness is from an earlier time when a few boobs was all it took.

Final Comments
I'm surprised that I was able to review another Girls Gone Wild film without cutting and pasting the text from my old review. Trust me, the films are not this unique. 3 stars for getting exactly what you paid for. Recommended only for the true voyeur.
