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."

Articles about these "models/babes" keep coming, but no links to judge by ourself. Here's a few from Gamecloud: one, two, and three.

I'll share, but only out of the sick hope that this will become the latest fad:

perl -e 'while (<>){for(@a=split(/ /,$_)){$_ =~ s/breasts/\<b\>breasts\<\/b\>/||$_ =~ s/\w+/blah/}print map {"$_ "} @a}'
