Spring Break Gone Wild

I still remember one family trip to Ft. Lauderdale when I was in 8th grade. It was Spring Break and we stayed in a HoJos across the street from the beach. College students were making mischievous mayhem. Somebody put a sand shark in the pool. People were diving from balconies into the shark-infested pool. Quite the site for young eyes.

Now — especially thanks to late-night ads on Comedy Central — we're supposed to think about Girls Gone Wild when we think Spring Break. The first GGW vid was released in 1998 and the concept was a pop cultural phenomenon by 2000. Just take a look at the number of ep names that pay homage to these vids:
