    Can anyone else think of a better idea to get lonely gamers (the kind that would go to E3 to begin with) to check out their booth? These are just good looking girls is tight outfits. Depending on where you live, you can see that in any bar/club anyway. Just check out the girls that come around on promos or sell shots.

    Most likely, they are girls that are looking for modeling/acting jobs. I guess that is a modeling job, but I guarantee they could make more money on the pole. At least strippers don't have to pose next to a fat bald guy so he can show the pictures to his friends as proof of his story that he made out with a hot chick.

    I'm sorry ladies, but guys are very simple creatures, we like looking at semi-naked, good looking, women.

    Want to know a secret? Girls like looking at good-looking naked guys, too. The fact that you believe they don't is why they're capable of controlling you.

    And in my mind, going to a strip club isn't about getting your rocks off. It's about finding just how much you can embarass a girl with a dollar.

    Perhaps you just have a very warped mind. I've been to several strip clubs in my town. The customers aren't allowed to touch the girls and don't get any closer than the girls want to let them. While I'm sure there's the occaisional smelly customer, most of the guys I see in the places are dressed pretty well and the worst smell you get is from the guys that wear too much cologne. My brother worked at a strip club for a couple years and dated a few of the strippers as well. They made good money, had a relatively easy job, and could afford to go to college. All in all, they're doing better than a lot of people I know. No idea why people don't seem to have much problem with women in bikinis at the beach, but feel that you're a slut or whore with no dignity if you show your nipples. What a fucked up country this is.
