Concept
Each video consists of a typical everywoman who is "picked up on the street," and is then persuaded to engage in sexual intercourse with a male actor in the back of a van (usually while it's driving) - the titular Bang Bus. Each storyline usually ends with the woman being dropped off unpaid and in the wrong location, shouting at the men as they drive off laughing. The series is shot primarily in Miami, Florida.
The Bang Bus usually contains three men: the driver (known as Ugly in early episodes), the camera man (Greg Entner aka "Dirty Sanchez"), and an actor who plays a "random" guy who gets to engage in sexual intercourse with the woman picked off the street. Sometimes the driver and camera man will randomly pick up a man first then pick up a woman and persuade the two to have sex. In most cases, the woman is convinced to get into the van under the guise that they are making a documentary about people in the area. They offer money, usually around a couple of hundred dollars, just to answer questions about their life. After some "interviewing", they usually offer more money to disrobe, and then additional money to have sex. The woman usually is persuaded to enter the van in less than 5 minutes, then persuaded to strip in 20–50 minutes and is dropped off in a random location after the completion of the sex act, ostensibly without being paid. Currently, Bang Bus features over 230 episodes.
Although the theme of the site is the ease with which supposedly unknown women can be persuaded to engage in hardcore sexual acts, the videos are in fact staged and all the women shown are paid actresses. Some have gone on to work in other pornographic productions or even became regular performers (e.g. Annie Cruz appeared as "Kyra" in 2004). Despite this, Bang Bus is regarded as a highly controversial website, in part due to its popularity and Entner's ostensibly misogynistic behavior. For these reasons, it has appeared in multiple news stories, particularly in the Miami area, where the site has earned a certain degree of infamy.

Famous quotes containing the word concept:
“By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Behind the concept of woman’s strangeness is the idea that a woman may do anything: she is below society, not bound by its law, unpredictable; an attribute given to every member of the league of the unfortunate.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“The concept of a mental state is primarily the concept of a state of the person apt for bringing about a certain sort of behaviour.”
