Booth Babes banned at 2006 E3Expo

This is a bad deal for all those guys that drooled over these hot women at the computer trade expos.

Rules prohibiting the use of scantily clad young women to peddle video games are nothing new, but the handbook for this year's show in May outlines tough new penalties, including a $5,000 fine on the spot for the booth owner if the "booth babe" is semi-clad.

That fine probably won't stop some companies from hiring hot women but they can't be scantly clad anymore. But it looks like Fantasy game makers could still dress up a woman in a chainmail bikini with a short skirt or have a sorceress wearing gauzy barely there robes.

The handbook from the Entertainment Software Association, the show's promoter, says: "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."
