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."

Bring on the Game Booth Boy Babes

AS a female I have to say that while I do appreciate the amount of money these women are forcing all you boys to pay to see them what would truly impress me is to see booth babes who actually are gamers. I mean if they stand there loooking stupid and hot that's one thing but what if you could actually talk intelligently to one and still ogle her breasts? Hotness factor increases. But that's just my opinion.

This is how I first read your post:

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah breasts? Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah.

So, yeah, booth babes count.

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

Having been to E3...

I found 90% of the so-called booth babes a distraction because they had no clue what they were selling besides their dignity. They seemed to have this aura of sadness behind their fake smiles.

Then again, the other 10% were having a great time and probably highly effective at exposing lesser known games to industry representatives.

A couple of my friends had a great time getting their picture taken with the ladies...THAT I will never understand.

Ogle and talk? You are living in a fantasy world

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.

I think the kitten you just killed will do nicely.
