CES 2005 Day 1 - Walking The Show Floor

Posted by timothy on from the vicarious-ogling dept.

TheTechLounge writes "Our second day in Vegas for CES, and our first day on the actual show floor was pretty much what I expected: mountains of new gadgets, people in suits staring at your name tag and scantily clad models trying not to get angry as they are repeatedly photographed. We started our excursion on opening day in the upper levels of the South Hall. Big name companies like ATI, nVidia, AMD, Logitech, and HP were showcasing anything and everything they could fit into their floor space."

    Seriously, did they think they were hired for their hard work and moral values? Ummm...no I think they were probably told outright that they would be eye candy for the masses of geeks there wandering around. And is that so bad? If you've got the assets, you'd be a fool not to use them right? Personally, I don't think a woman/man is degraded by modeling her/his body professionally.

    Now maybe the moral problem comes in when you get paid by people stuffing dollar bills down your underwear...but who am I to decide what peoples' morals are? :-)
