Missy At the height of his power Pablo Escobar shipped 70-80 tons of cocaine monthly. A niche product can have a massive audience.

So there has been a lot of controversy surrounding our movie project -
'SuicideGirls Must Die', and I want to dispel some misconceptions:

We understand that the tag line "The World's First Reality Horror
Movie" along with the violent imager in the trailer has made some
people think that the models got hurt during the making of this movie,
or their lives were in danger.

That was never the case. After being inspired by the film "Borat",
Sawa and I set out to make a campy 80s style low budget horror flick
where the "victims" of the movie didn't know they were in one.

Our plan was to catch real human reactions to fear and to be able to
"punk" some of our favorite models from the site by making them think
they could be in real danger.

We invited 12 of the girls to Maine to be a part of a summer camp
calendar photo and video shoot. Then with the help of Amina and Sawa
(the 'Calendar Producers'), we conspired to remove the models one by
one, ten little indian style, and film the real chaos, drama and fear
that ensued.

Yes, some of the girls who were a part of the shoot are mad at us for
tricking them or feel they were mistreated by us. Other models have
had a great sense of humor about the whole thing. No one was ever in
danger, and we really, truly love all the girls who were a part of
this little social experiment.

We understand not everyone thinks tricking your coworkers into
thinking their friends were in danger or even dead (and they were
next), is funny, but we have to admit we kind of do.

If you want to judge for yourself - we have been told the movie is
due to open March 12 in a limited run of cool theaters (like Austin's
'Alamo Draft House') and then will be released on DVD and PPV in June.

We are excited to have a cocktail and see the SuicideGirls on the big
screen for the first time after almost 10 years on the web. Soon we'll
have screening info and will post what theaters are running it - In
the meantime you can catch the trailer here:

I think I'd be pissed at first, and then find it hilarious. It would be pretty cool to look back on thinking that you were really in a horror movie type situation. It'd be scary as fuck at the time, but afterwards, when you realize that you were safe the whole time.. I think I'd find that to be a really interesting experience.

I can see why some of the girls are upset about it though.

Still, can't wait to see it.

Missy I see that you continue to master the art of never making an apology, a characteristic usually reserved for people we learn to distrust, or worse.

Come on - was anyone really tricked? I mean, really? With cameras documenting the whole thing, how could our beloved SuicdideGirls not know there was something fixed going on?

Not a complaint, mind you. Hell, I'm dyin' to see the damned thing.

I understand that some people are upset.. but there have been many experiments as this one and I think it is very interesting to watch reactions of people that are under specific emotions..

I really want to see the movie..
And I hope the girls that are angry, calm down about it..

I can see why it might have seemed like a good idea, but I think you all were cavalier with some very real emotions - including the possibility of triggering a past trauma or otherwise harming people. It doesn't sound like anyone sustained permanent physical damage, but you can't really know about psychic damage. It sounds like a joke on people, not a joke with them. Part of the reason why internal review boards exist is to prevent this kind of experimentation. So, after the idea comes up, a more responsible choice is to consider a way to capture raw emotion while mitigating damage - maybe the art would suffer, but at least your friends and co-workers wouldn't.

I see now how being pregnant there might have been a liability.
What a fun experience for all those involved.
