E3 booth boi at N-Gage

I am so offended.
Do these companies really think that having some H-O-double-T, hot Booth Boi with a St. Tropez spray-on tan, a Colgate smile and wearing nothing but a skin-tight t-shirt parading around their E3 booth will get me to buy and play their games?!?! Show me a Booth Boi who looks good and knows how to handle his Wii and then I'll be impressed, okay?
Besides, don't these Booth Bois have any respect for themselves at all?!?!? All it does is continue to objectify men...

They should have more booth bois, definately. :D
slave_25637 @ May 13th 2006 8:20PM
How dare they objectify men like that!
Tomoki @ May 13th 2006 8:21PM
Booth Boi's representing!
TWS @ May 13th 2006 8:22PM
Exactly... putting him next to an N-Gage.. that's just wrong...
Chris @ May 13th 2006 8:24PM
it must really suck for him to tell his friends he's a "promotional model" and being a promotional model for the N-Gage is even more shameful :P
ThePete @ May 13th 2006 8:28PM
Ah, funny post.
Nice to see that they think there are at least one woman-gamer out there.
Goobers @ May 13th 2006 8:33PM
i think the fact you think he's hot is already enough... they got you interested.
Richard @ May 13th 2006 8:50PM
Great! Booth bois are on the rise! :D N-Gage seemed to have quite a few cuties actually.
Shiro @ May 13th 2006 9:17PM
I am so offended that there's a guy modeling in semi-revealing clothing.
I should form a picket line around N-Gage's HQ Office building. After all, a man in tight clothing serves to degrade a whole gender with such highlights as having been a president. Or a firefighter. Or a Police Officer. Don't they realize that men can be more than just models?

*Protest*
Wes Phillips @ May 13th 2006 9:27PM
What?!? The N-Gage has a booth?
Vince @ May 13th 2006 9:43PM
The only way booth boys will take off is if gaming hits the gay scene in a big way
I'll wager gay gamers are as rare as gamers that moisturise.
RobertHMayfire @ May 13th 2006 9:45PM
You know the only reason he decided to be a N-Gage Booth Boi is to make himself look bigger standing next to it. ;)
Matthew @ May 13th 2006 9:57PM
We're not as rare as you think.
And yay for booth bois! Maybe the companies should start getting some XY models or A&F...
-m.
Edmund @ May 13th 2006 10:19PM
That was pretty funny.
demione @ May 13th 2006 10:24PM

joseph @ May 13th 2006 10:32PM
"We're not as rare as you think."
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
lol, and i loved the "wii" reference.
Tourian @ May 13th 2006 10:45PM
He has too much clothes on...
It was about freaking time :)
Freezair @ May 13th 2006 10:45PM
Meh. He's not so hot. Like, maybe a 5, 6 at best. He looks like someone who belongs on the Disney Channel.
Rob @ May 13th 2006 10:45PM
Ball Toucher is a flash game that keeps you busy at work. Touch as many balls as you can!

slyckidiot @ May 14th 2006 12:12AM
Seriously. We aren't as rare as you think.
Good for N-Gage. Too bad their platform sucks.
Untamed @ May 14th 2006 12:24AM
Another gay guy here.
Don't think he's too hot though.
*sigh*
Rein @ May 14th 2006 12:30AM
I'd hit it. ;D
He seems very...pleased. I wonder how much they had to pay him to keep that smile on his face.
Untamed @ May 14th 2006 12:42AM
"He seems very...pleased. I wonder how much they had to pay him to keep that smile on his face."
I know, right?
All those girls around him, and he's the only guy.
...
Okay, bar time.
aut0b0t0pt1mus @ May 14th 2006 12:43AM
finally.. there's gay gamers. they play they're games with wireless controllers from the depths of the closet. games are all about boobs. nice of a company to cater to those that already have boobs or arent interested in them.
Angus @ May 14th 2006 12:58AM
games are all about boobs?
O Rly?
Michael Tyznik @ May 14th 2006 1:11AM
Another gay gamer here.
ray @ May 14th 2006 2:34AM
i dunno - i think he's kinda cute... too bad the n-gage
is crap >:|
Colin @ May 14th 2006 2:40AM
He's ok, I seen much cuter...
And Yes N-Gage is garbage, to bad it has such potential...
BeanDip0001 @ May 14th 2006 2:56AM
STFU! Please. Point is sex sells, if you pull people in with T&A and then they look at your product when they weren't going to in the first place you just made someone who may have pass your product by take notice. If this offends you start watching PBS and stop gaming! Again STFU! Please.
aut0b0t0pt1mus @ May 14th 2006 3:38AM
ok.. not exactly the games themselves.. but to sell the games.. yeah. boobs at the booth.. men flock
Piddy @ May 14th 2006 3:39AM
Yeah me too, where's our version of BMX XXX?
Ben @ May 14th 2006 4:07AM
add one more tally for gay gamers. ... there were probably more of us than there were WOMEN @ E3 ...
Niels @ May 14th 2006 4:56AM
I'm gay AND hot...:P
Niels @ May 14th 2006 4:59AM
I'm a gamer, gay AND hot;) I should be a booth boy myself next year:P
brit @ May 14th 2006 5:13AM
As a gay gamer (and a Nokia user) I'm glad to see that gaming is finally diversifying. I think...
David Kemper @ May 14th 2006 5:18AM
Gay gamer here, sexy, check the myspace.com/dlakemper, would be a booth whore for sure. :D
David
robot @ May 14th 2006 5:42AM
Yeah, I'm Queer.
I'd do him.
I suck at being gay, I don't match, but who cares?
I still get laid.
Mars @ May 14th 2006 6:29AM
Another GG here... I second a vote for more booth bois. Oh, and games are all about boobs? You get Laura Croft and we get 90% of the cast of Tekken :-)
sjenky @ May 14th 2006 7:46AM
You'd be surprised how many of us there are...we're on your leaderboards.. in your gameshops, we're even in your house from time to time.. (through x-box live that is)
Boot the boothbabes, let the boothbois RIZE! :-D
Andy @ May 14th 2006 8:00AM
Hahahahahaha, very nice.
Hunting_Phoenix @ May 14th 2006 8:30AM
enough with the "Wii" jokes already. it's been like what? a week? and i swear that i've heard a thousand wii jokes where "wii" is used to imply male genitalia. enough already. quit acting like 13 year old boys. seriously. it may have been *slightly* funny the first time. on reading that joke time #4087...it's just old.
come up with something new.
v @ May 14th 2006 8:49AM
Another GG here. Nice to see that there are others. I was startin to think I was the only GG in all of DC. Try to get my other gay friends into it but only my straight buddies ever come over and to hang out and play.
Peter @ May 14th 2006 8:50AM
We're not as rare as you think.
Jeff @ May 14th 2006 9:11AM
Yes, wii are not amused.
see3pio @ May 14th 2006 10:27AM
Count my boyfriend, me and three of my closest friends in on the tally of gaymers.
I hate it when the "mainstream" techie culture assumes that only straight boys are interested in this stuff.
mastershake @ May 14th 2006 11:01AM
Howcome Nik is the only one who noticed that evil looking "woman" all the way on the left?
