Let's Rate the Booth Babes!

Kotaku: It seems that many gaming-related websites, especially ones on the Internet, have discussed the issue of Booth Babes – should they be banned, should they not be banned, is prosciutto an acceptable form of clothing, etc. Personally, I'm all for Booth Babes. The more, the better! Contrary to popular belief, not every Booth Babe I've encountered has the same Scholastic Aptitude Test score as mayonnaise – some actually know the title of the game their representing! Ha ha! But seriously, I commend these women. I can barely remember how to form sentences when wearing 6-inch heels and tight clothing for upwards of eight hours, so the fact that many of them have proved to be intelligent is downright impressive.

Stay classy, Kotaku.

Oh...=/

ThanatosDMC5820d ago

Why is there a guy on those pictures.... im confused now...

neolit5820d ago

damn! GOT Kotakurolled!
I should have known better.

beardpapa5820d ago

Classy? No super booty Your Shape girl and massive bra-less GT funbag chick is more like Failtaku.

RedPawn5820d ago (Edited 5820d ago )

How about we move the FUCK on from this lame discussion.

Just a thought.

Parapraxis5820d ago (Edited 5820d ago )

Do you hear people discussing whether or not booth babes should be banned from car shows?
Why is it only in the gaming industry where it's frowned upon??

It's not like these girls are stripping off their clothes and prancing around naked, and even if they were, it's their choice.

A girl signing up for a job which she knows full and well what she will be dressed as isn't really mistreatment IMO.

Darkfiber5820d ago

It's true, it's not like they are being forced to do that. But it's also not like journalists are being forced to write stupid articles that rate how hot the various girls are...or maybe they are forced, who knows. Either way, it's a little ridiculous. Maybe it was a big deal 10 years ago, but I think most people have grown out of the whole "LOOK, THAT CHICK IS DRESSED LIKE A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER, THAT'S SO HOT I'D TOTALLY EFF HER IF I WASN'T SUCH A FAT PATHETIC ZIT FACED LOSER WHO LIVED IN MY MOM'S BASEMENT, BUT IF I WASN'T I WOULD TOTALLY BE ALL OVER THAT" mentality, and are starting to find it as dumb as I do.

RedPawn5820d ago (Edited 5820d ago )

Thank you someone put it straight.

@Para

These girls are fake for a reason, yes nobody said they were stupid, and yes it pays bills. Seriously though WE DO NOT NEED 9000 articles about irrelevant subjects, that have absolutely been super saturated to DEATH. We get it, if your a heterosexual male you wanna see this, but keep your focus on what was really supposed to be highlighted.

I'm not hating on someones choices, but E3 is over, done, FIN. Show us what else we didn't see or get talked about, GAME RELATED. Even the who won articles were stupid and that was just mostly males stroking our competitive egos. These articles are gerbal dribble.

Parapraxis5820d ago (Edited 5820d ago )

I agree fully with both of you.
Lets focus on the games and move along.
I just felt like saying something on the "should be banned" subject.

The "top <insert number here> booth babes" articles never seem to end.
Since I rarely bother posting on "babe" articles I'd just like to point out it's funny that probably the most attractive girl @ the entire conference was the Ubisoft girl demoing Your Shape @ the Ubisoft booth, and she wasn't even a "booth babe".

Aaaanyways.
Yes a lot of the girls are really pretty, now lets talk about the games.

Darkfiber5820d ago

See, this is why games journalists will never be taken seriously. None of them will ever get a girlfriend, so they write stupid articles about girls they'd never have a chance with. Stick to writing about games, it hides your desperation a little better.

Sprudling5820d ago

Judging by the name "Lisa Foiles", I believe the writer is female.

neolit5820d ago

@Dark
did you at least open the link before commenting?

Apart from the name "Lisa", the very beginning of the article would be pure gold if it was a guy who wrote it :)
"I have always wanted to be a Booth Babe and I honestly can't give you a real reason why, except for that I like to dress up and pose..."
LOL

n to the b5820d ago

don't even need to follow the link, just read the paragraph at the top of this page:

"I can barely remember how to form sentences when wearing 6-inch heels and tight clothing for upwards of eight hours..."

...all though I suppose that's not really 100% conclusive that a female wrote the article :S

zslash5820d ago

"It seems that many gaming-related websites, especially ones on the Internet, have discussed the issue of Booth Babes – should they be banned, should they not be banned, is prosciutto an acceptable form of clothing, etc. "

So another avenue other than the Internet exists for accessing gaming-related websites? This is news to me.

PhilipLarkin5820d ago

Joke. It is a rhetorical joke. With words.

zslash5820d ago

Right, still lame though.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio30d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing30d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9230d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit30d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing30d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9230d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
