I cannot wait to enjoy a book more of this good topic. So much of computer Ive never even considered. You sure did put a new twist on something that Ive heard a lot about. I dont believe Ive actually read most things that does this subject as good justice as you merely did.

I’ve been going to Comic-Con off and on for more than 20 years. I’m not sure if game companies should be allowed to exhibit at all; this type of stuff is a good argument against it.

@DaveZatz: Lou is STILL at Comic-Con, still signing autographs…same booth every year.

I went to the 1997 or 1998 ComicCon in San Diego. Lou Ferrigno was there flexing his muscles. And signing autographs for twenty frickin’ bucks. Now THAT is appalling.

I don’t want to create a verbal assault on anybody…but reading this article, I could not help but narrate it in my head with a female’s voice (typically I narrate in my own voice)…and I feel that in itself creates an issue with this article. My opinion on EA and other companies leaning on controversial sex-sells campaigns is this: One, they get talked about (you’re article is a great example…I had no idea they did it until I read this) and two, it works. That’s the ultimate goal of advertising in a capitalist market…if it works, do it. The advertising methods are no less immoral than the people that buy into them. And for the girls that work the booths, same story. If it makes you money, and doesn’t make you uncomfortable, why not.

Now, go off and get on some tear about how strip clubs are resetting our culture to the pre-30s era of womanization, and destroying the female image.
