Yarrrr,
 
This not  be telling me much it be.

The gray inside of the stock HAF 912. Also my crappy mountings for my cold cathodes.

Everything is being bottlenecked by a GTX 460 that has lifetime warranty. And I can't seem to fry the card to take advantage of the warranty..... embarrassing I know... 

This forum is not a democracy. I set the unrealistic 90% goal so that ultimately it would be my call whether or not to post it. The decision was made by me after reading the posts in this thread, not from the results of the poll.
 
The sob story post about the people who don't want to do that job that has people staring at them was certainly moving, but the flip side of that argument is "Would they actually be better off if they were not employed at all? I guess they decided this was better..." If everyone refused to look at "booth babes" then they'd all be out of jobs, and the (likely fabricated, but certainly realistic) stories above would be about a bunch of people who AREN'T supporting their kids or getting through school by doing a job they're not happy with...
 
All of that said, I'm not some kind of women's rights expert (or so my wife informs me) so rather than make a decision based on arguments about a topic I understand not well enough, I instead focused on the arguments about our identity as a community.
 
If we wanted it to be about ogling girls we could hire girls to stand in front of a camera squishing a video card between their breasts and we could film it. That has never been our style. First and foremost this is a tech channel and a tech forum. There are lots of other sites where you can stare at girls (or guys... or animals for that matter) so it's unnecessary to post it here.

So three examples to counter the "they made the choice to be there" argument. Names have been changed for the first two.
 
Alex is one of the guys you see standing shirtless outside of Abercrombie. Employment can be tough for college students in our area, he likes the brand, so he applied for a job. He was hired, and excited about it, until they told him what he'd be doing. He hates it, yet he stands out front, looking hot (because he is), smiling and flirting (and also being part of the store's loss prevention program) because it's his job. He is paying his way through med school. He is constantly looking for any other job that provides flexibility in scheduling around his classes.
 
Katie can be found as a model at local boat shows (we're home to the Bass Pro Shops HQ, we have lots of boat shows). She shows up, does her job (and also looks quite hot doing it) and when she gets home, I usually have to go over and calm her down because she's in tears. Why does she do it? Her husband left her three years ago when their son was born with Down's Syndrome. He wanted neither the personal or financial responsibility of raising a special needs child. He fled the country so she receives no child support. Her parents disowned her because she married a man of a different skin color. She does what she has to in order to provide for her son.
 
And then there's me. I ran a webcam years ago when I was in college. Again, in this town, it was very difficult to find work that would be flexible with my school schedule (theology degree, there's a great combination). I was approached by someone who operated an "adult" webcam site and I became one of their "models." I hated it. At least for me I didn't have to see any of the people staring at me (though I was required to chat with them). But it paid the bills. I was able to stay in school and also eat and have a roof over my head. I only stayed at it for four months until I, thankfully, found a decent paying job elsewhere.
 
So just because someone is there by choice doesn't mean they necessarily want to be, that they necessarily enjoy the attention, or that they would want videos of themselves shared at random websites. Yeah, sex sells, but does that mean we have to actively encourage the objectification of either gender? Especially on a tech centered site? That is not the type of community I would be comfortable referring people to, nor is it one I would want to remain a part of.

I subscribed to a tech channel to look at tech. Not to look at "babes". End of story.
 
If its put on the techquickie channel then fine; but it wont happen because tech quickie is a professional channel which is how I view the main channel.
 
Random irrelevant vids should go on the Cat Tips Channel.

They are getting paid to stand around for a bunch of people to gawk at them.

I registered to give my two cents
I think this is pretty childish and not needed
I'm no feminist or anything like that but why would you want to JUST watch Booth Babes on a channel dedicated to Tech Tips
I get the feeling that most of the people here are infact under 18

Linus,  you'll honestly gain more respect by not posting it.  
 
It would however be utterly hilarious if you hyped it up like this and then uploaded  a video of yourself and Slick dancing in jock straps in the garage.

I voted no. It's degrading to women and offensive. If it were your wife, your girlfriend, your sister, you wouldn't want a bunch of geeks ogling. If you need to see boobs, there are more than enough already on the web. I could not, in good faith, refer anyone to LTT forums or videos any longer if that type of thing occurs. It's just... ug.
 
It's tough to be a male feminist at times.

because you aren't amire them based on anything other than their sex appeal. The shear fact that they were hired to stand around displays in revealing outfits for a bunch of men to start at is bad enough. 

Voted no as well, I came for tech nothing else :|

Please vote no guys, PC enthusiasts are already labelled as misogynists. The fact that electronics expos like Computex and E3 even HAVE booth babes is already sexist enough, we don't need to make it worse by literally posting a video for people to fap to. 

Me.
