    No. Geeks DO want sex more than anything, they're just not getting any, for well-known reasons...

    EDIT: if you ask me, before I remove the babes I'd rather remove the booths :oops:

    That's EXACTLY right. And I might add its the correct assesment of most women and others that dont play videogames. The VG needs to expand and booth babes (at least the least tasteful ones) are a hindrance to that growth. Oprah is an icon that bridges the gap... the foil is that there is nothing of interest within current videogame genres for most people that dont play them.

    I had a longer more thorough post about this issue but this stupid system erased it...:roll:

    Reminds of:

    What's the difference between a Trekker and a Trekkie?

    A Trekker wonders what it's like to have sex in space.


















    A Trekkie wonders what it's like to have sex at all.

    Trust me. No one in their right mind would want to open this can of worms. On the one hand, you've got exhibitors who have grown accustomed to the strip club atmosphere of the Tokyo Game Show (sex sells doesn't it?), while on the other hand enforcing a dress code for women ONLY is ... well ... the stuff lawsuits are made of. :oops:

    Exactly what I thought as well :lol:

    No more booth babes at E3 = No more E3 for me :twisted:
    They really think most people go there because of the exhibitors and their products? :wink:

    Excellent regulation :leave such a grotesque spectacle for football and car macho-fans.
    Had I controll of it I would remove all models and other stupidities from the exposition.
    You say they attract peaople? How about the place hosting only people who are really interested and appreciate the technollogical innovations.
    I have to say im dissapointed by MS advertising the 360 on MTV. I would like for games and gamers other direction than mainstream idiocy.
