The editorial kinda wanders a bit but I get what the author is saying. Women like this sell sex but in a really cold, one-sided way that's all about attracting our attention while they stand there feeling absolutely nothing. For them its all business, no mutual attraction, nothing. It's just a paycheck.
Anyway since this thread is worthless without pics, here ya go!

Booth babes are eye candy, but they are completely worthless for E3's purpose. I could understand if they knew something about the games that they were representing, but they are just paid to dress up in an interesting fashion, and proceed to stand around looking pretty.
Someone should do a comparison between number of booth babes and substance within the company's exhibit. I'd almost bet as number of babes goes up, the amount anyone cares about what the company is representing plummets.
Now with 57.3% more flames!
I love hearing interviewers ask booth babes about a game...it's hillarious to look at their confused faces...I think half of them don't even realize where they are, let alone realize that they are ads for a video game.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Looks like failed actresses, and also closet porn stars, I'm sure somewhere on the interwebz a video of them is floating around.
If you find em, hook a brotha up.

Holy shit! You can get attractive women to stand around in almost no clothing, if you pay them, and guys in general and gaming/tech nerds in particular appear susceptible to being suckered into looking at a game that may be crap otherwise!
I smell a Pulitzer possibly even a Nobel here somewhere.
Point well taken, though it's not the only point of the article.
It's actually fairly well written with some pretty wity humor thrown in there.
"I have a friend who used to be a stripper, she was once paid 700 dollars to sit on a man's lap and twist his nipples...I would have done it for 500."

I went on a date with a barmaid last weekend and about 4 hours later I gave up on having any kind of a meaningful conversation with her. I think somewhere along the line she let go of her real personality and became a tip mongering machine.

Booth babes being interviewed at Comic Con 2010. I thought it was funny when the interviewee says at the beginning of the video that the place was filled with nothing but babes and geeks. Perhaps about the only place you will find the two groups interacting at the same time.
Because Jessica Chobit was given a job because of her knowledge of video games.
Maybe if by interacting you mean "breathing the same air". Or, better yet, one group standing around, complaining about how the retarded-looking shoes hurt their feet and the only reason they're at the con is to pay the bills; the other group huddled together, ogling said first group, and picking apart the costumes' lack of authenticity.....
And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Sex sells, welcome to America.
They should have booth guys next time
Welcome to the World you mean, sex sells in every corner of Earth. America did not invent sex sells btw.
Who let you in the VIP section?
