Panama City Beach Officials Worried About Bikini Parade Devolving into a Girls Gone Wild Situation

Fox News - Panama City Beach, Fla. is attempting to break the Guinness Book of World Record for the Largest Bikini Parade and knock Australia off its throne. But not everyone in the city is happy about it. The event, on March 6, is taking place at one of the most popular spring break destinations in the country, known for its golden sands, clear waters, and of course bikinis. But some city leaders say the idea to have hundreds of women parade around in a two-piece swimsuit would devolve into "Girls Gone Wild" on the beach. “We’ll have a lot of college kids and there’s a lot of hormones flowing out there. It’s very volatile and it doesn’t take a whole lot for things to go sour,” said Panama City Beach city council member Ken Nelson.

Uhhh, guys, if you're worried about Girls Gone Wild type situations breaking out in your city, you may want to go investigate that over-sized Girls Gone Wild tour bus parked behind the seedy motel...I mean Panama City, FL has been one of the crown jewels of the GGW series, seems a bit hypocritical to worry about a bunch of beach goers marching around in their beach attire, all things considered. 

Also, is there anything the people of Guinness Book won't consider a record these day? Largest bikini parade? Seems to me these records are getting more and more specific each time I hear about one.  Like anyone can make up some ridiculous idea that no one has ever been dumb enough to organize before and all of a sudden claim it's a record. Stop giving these people credit for such blatant wastes of time on trivial pursuits.  These girls were all going to be on the beach anyway, all this takes is some jackass with a megaphone and a banner getting all these girls to march a block or two down the street, that's not an accomplishment.
