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."

    We are male, we either see boobies OR we talk intelligently. The two are mutually exclusive. If your really a female you should know this. Boobs reduce our IQ to a single digit. In binary.

    Oh and before you feel all superior as a geek girl with brains who is not reduced to a blittering idiot at the mere hint of boobs. Look! Over there it is actor XXXX XXXXXXX.

    I did some rigging during an erotica convention and the one thing sadder then males lusting after the naked female performers was the females lusting after the naked male performers. The moment women stop throwing their panties at every good looking actor/popstar is the moment you can comment on us males.

    Men and women aren't all that different really.
