Booth babe protest: Bikinis, not bullets

Seen at E3: as the convention closed for the day, three booth babes wielding signs saying "Bikinis > Bullets" and "I'm rated E for Everyone". We're not sure what the aim of the protest is, as these ladies seemed happy to smile and have their pictures taken.
The question that springs to mind is: why not both bikinis and bullets? We met up with the PMS Clan at Microsoft's booth party, women who are just as much at home in bikinis as in full body armour. When you can dual-wield both SMGs and lipstick at once, you shouldn't have to choose.

"E for Everyone"? Even my 42 year old mother?

G4 coverage of E3 had a skit about Booth babe job less last night. While it was kind of funny, I thought they were just joking around.

In a society that has no issues with the use of guns or its portrayal on TV (or any media for that matter) at any time, but does had the nation up in arms ( for some latterly) over a wardrobe malfunction. It?s not the censorship of sex that should be address.

Technically those aren't guns, they're jugs =)

Attention seekers at the worlds biggest game expo? who'd a thunk it.

Am I the only one who thought it meant Bikinis > Bald-Mullet first?

Booth Babes Banned...

my bad... the first thing I thought when I looked at that picture:
I like my plastic in consoles, not women.

Hilarious. Rated for everyone? I'm sure there'd be be a bigger queue for her if she was suitable for all ;)

If my visual stimulation can be enhanced by a little plastic, I say bring it on! If I were out there, I know I'd be making a sign and joining the picket.

they are upset that the gamers only glance at them but spend the bulk of their time looking at the games.

Now if I went out there protesting how there should be booth dudes... would that be ok? Actually I'm just trying to find a way to get into E3 -_-

Give me 5 minutes with the one in the middle and I'll turn her from an E to an AO.
Jamie @ May 31st 2006 12:13AM
Haha, funny.

YES! There SHOULD be more booth dudes. There were some this year and I THANK N-Gage for giving ME something (aside from the games of course) to drool over for once! :)
