Booth Babes

I checked out the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this past Friday. For those who don't' know what E3 is - it's the video game industry's annual trade show - and besides being the ultimate destination to get a sneak peak at the latest video games and consoles, it's also a great place to get a very gratuitous peak at the laziest marketing invention ever - the Booth Babe.

Who do these video game companies think they are? Year after year, these companies think that they can simply just use scantily clad women to draw attention to their booths.

And they're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Because if you're a 40-year old video game testing virgin, getting handed free schwag by a hot chick is the equivalent of actually having sex.

In a feeble attempt to fight the inevitable, the organizers of E3 tried to enforce decency rules this year by banning nudity, partial nudity and bikini bottoms - but obviously failed to realize that if geeks can program a Massive-Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game - they can certainly find a way to circumvent arbitrary rules and still get their perv on. As you can see in this photo, there are plenty of ways to be slutty without actually wearing a bikini. Like wearing hot pants. Or wearing a tight tank top. Or handing out inflatable phallic symbols.
