Hmm... Mixed feelings about "booth babes".

[villager]

1. breasts: no good. Shooting people in the head for laughs: A.O.K.!

Videogames really are getting to be just like television...

[Radical Activist]

8. Exactly. Very twisted priorities.

2. I called them Booth Bimbos.

Work the booths by day and the hospitality sweets by night.

[Fenris]

3. So that's what happened to Coolio.

The booth babes were sadly as close as many people at E3 have ever been to a near-naked woman.

4. They may find that this is a poor move, economically speaking...

but I don't really have a problem with them requiring that the spokepersons/demonstrators/whatever-you-want-to-call-'ems are clothed. It isn't a beach or a strip club, after all...

5. These are working models

who now are down one well-paying gig. So what if they showed a little skin, fer cri-yi? Amend the rules so they have to cover up certain bits if one is so concerned.

The otaku are not going to be happy...

6. This is just about the organizers making more money. Booth babes

will become a status symbol, and the exhibitors will happily pay the fine.

In other words, it's extortion. And in Vegas? That right there proves it's bullshit.

[no name no slogan]

7. Why do they hate America?

[ContraBass Black]

9. How are they going to market beach volleyball games?

:hide:

10. Maybe Female Gamers Don't Care for Them So Much

Just a hunch.
