I'm not sure I find it "disturbing" - it's not my cup of tea, and I'm definitely not capable of shooting content like that because that's not the way that I am; in fact, I have some great content of models basically trying to molest me during shoots that is completely unstaged - it makes me look like a dork actually [but hey, that's just me - I'd rather take up my business after the shoot like a professional].
If you don't believe this kind of thing has an effect, checking current threads about The Bang Bus will show you that a lot of our junior webmasters weren't really "in" on the Bang Bus joke and thought it was for real.
If webmaster are so stupid and naive, what about the general public?
Anyone who thought it was "real" in any sense of the word is a future Darwin award candidate, but again, it was "real enough" to make some (many?) people think that, and that's a good thing (for Bang Bus).
I'm not sure what you're upset about - I think it's that amateur photographers are getting into the mix and taking advantage of the models (or treating them like whores) because they have never been to a shoot to see how professionals act. I am in wholehearted agreement with you on this but they're only fucking themselves over because they will: a) run out of local models to shoot, driving up their costs, b) get into legal trouble, or c) some other catastrophic event.
