Do Booth Babes Really Matter?

Gamecloud wonders out loud, in the wake of increased fines for 'inappropriate attire', if Booth Babes even matter in the grand scheme of E3. From the article: "By far the most vocal complaint about E3 from some quarters is the attention paid to the paid models that exhibitors bring to the show. Of course, most trade shows do have "booth models" or "booth babes" but at E3 the nature of the video and PC game industry and the fact that its being held in Los Angeles causes exhibitors to bring in tons of models and have them wear costumes and clothing that in some cases can be very sexually provocative. Despite the complaints these models are a distraction from the games and can even be offensive to some, web sites (including Gamecloud) do post galleries of booth model pictures at every E3 and they tend to be some of the most popular features of any web site's E3 coverage."

    Exactly--there's nothing special about some model being paid to stand around and look pretty.

    Now, if said model proceeded to cream me at Starcraft, well, other things would get creamed, but I'll leave it at that.

    Do they matter? What the hell *matters* at a GAMING conference? Nothing, in the world-peace manner of the term. What's this world coming to when a man can't openly and honestly admit to, and endulge in, being a pig?
