Unhelpful

Today’s article-thingy is about “booth babes.” Now, in case you don’t know, a “booth babe” is a girl hired to stand around in a bikini or other skimpy clothing at the booths of game companies during conventions (E3, in this case) in order to promote… uh… breasts, I guess. The reasoning is that breasts sell games. I guess when you’re talking about lonely computer geeks, it’s not that far off.

While these poor women are being ogled by a bunch of fat, sweaty losers, some people choose to take it to the next level of humiliation. There are guys who walk up to these poor women and have their picture taken. I think it’s pretty humiliating, moreso for the guys than the girls. I assume they have their picture take in order to show their friends and say, “LOOK! Here’s a girl who isn’t repulsed by my presence, you owe me a Coke!” but I may be wrong. All things considered, it’s a pretty sad scene.

Now, if I had my own game company, I would hire post-op transsexuals to be my “booth babes.” After each lonely, horny geekboy comes up to have his picture taken, I’d have the girls hand each one a card that says, “Congratulations! You have just had your picture taken with a transsexual!”

For maximum enjoyment, I would have to video tape their reactions upon reading the card, of course.

Someone gave me this link to illustrate what I’m talking about. Weep with me.
