E3 booth babe Hall of Shame

Are we an enlightened society? I occasionally delude myself into believing we are. Large quantites often help. Yet the software industry feels it still needs to have scantily clad women to pimp their wares at E3 and other shows.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love scantily clad women as much as the next guy, assuming the next guy likes scantily clad women, but the whole booth babe thing is just getting silly. Instead of being a progressive industry, the software industry seems to follow the worst examples of other industries. We already have cookie cutter games with no real innovation almost without exception. Thanks, Hollywood. It seems at the big shows like E3, the industry looks to car industry and thinks "If sprawling a model all over a new car gets Porsche attention, it'll work for our first person shooter!"

So hold Gamegal's hand, and take a walk through the hall of shame. (Which has a little something for the ladies, too.)
