Deadpreacher Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 No More Hot Booth Babes at E3? By: César A. Berardini - "Cesar" Jan. 23rd, 2006 1:03 pm The consequences of the “Hot Coffee†GTA mod are far from over and it seems that the long arm of law is reaching not just game retailers, but the industry in general. The IGDA's Sex SIG got access to a copy of the 2006 E3 Expo Exhibitor's Handbook and found out that the new rules put a defacto censorship to any material, including games and booth babes, with partial nudity or sexually explicit/provocative content. According to Page 13 of the Exhibitor's Handbook: Material, including live models, conduct that is sexually explicit and/or sexually provocative, including but not limited to nudity, partial nudity and bathing suit bottoms, are prohibited on the Show floor, all common areas, and at any access points to the Show. ESA, in its sole discretion, will determine whether material is acceptable. What does all this mean? That we won’t get to see those hot girls we used to take photos with or date (in our dreams). No more Hottest Booth Babe competition, no more cool games like Leisure Suit Larry or the Playboy Mansion? While the handbook does state no “bathing suit bottomsâ€, there is a bit of a gray area when it comes to the overall attire. It will be interesting to see how far game publishers are willing to go in order to test the waters. In any case, E3 booth babes just got a little uglier. Without Booth Babes in tiny leather pants or bikinis, is there any reason at all to go to E3? Oh Diana, I'm going to miss you so much!

Sup Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 It doesn't, really, hurt the industry at all. Models won't have all the work at E3, but there seems to be plenty of work for models. In regards to the automotive industy, it certainly wouldn't HURT the game industry to look a bit more mature (for lack of a better word) than it. I don't mean to say it needs this, but much worse things could be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pz3 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 your wrong sup, thoes much worse things I think already have. Who ever made these rules are either women, or men that should have their man cards revoked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 You know, I am so mad about this, I might even be moved to publish the E3 Babes photo's for last year that Dick Splash sent me, that we deemed just a little bit over the line. Well, they were well over the deceny line actually. What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
