Should we Post the Booth Babe Video?

[Carnage]

Lol who will fap to a babe booth when porn is free

[911^NEmeSis]

 

You can do this or uploade it on LinusCatTips....

 

Not at all akward with Asian chicks in bikinis and clad clothing on a cat channel :P

[mvitkun]

Actually... Our video DOES have a male booth babe in it................

is it the acer guy?

 

also I think it's funny how when you joke about performing sexual acts on slick during the livestream,or when you tell him to take his shirt off nobody finds that offensive.

 

but when it's a woman it's automatically sexism....just wow.

 

I think using sexism as an excuse for everything is much more offensive than actual sexism.

[Nesflaten]

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

That's what she said:P

bit seriously, the showing of booth babes, I am torn. The professionalism of LTT drops with posting the video, however, the tech coverage was phenomenal from computex, so don't think it will affect anything (except Linus' marriage maybe)

[frawlzfans]

If boothbabes feel uncomfortable being stared at then why become a boothbabe. They know what the job entails. 

[Shruikenn]

The girls are there by their own choice. Its not sexest plain and simple. Youtube is magic because you don't have to watch EVERYTHING. If you are offended by something please don't watch, but thats no reason to take something away that a majority of people want to see. Also is name calling really going to help either side in this debate? People are entitled to their own opinion, is it that tough to respect that? Linus and his crew are smart and they hold their own opinions, insulting each other isn't a good way to sway them or represent yourself. Thanks Linus for all you and your guys do and thank you everyone else for reading this and being respectful.

As opposed to this: 

Please explain to me how she is being used to do anything other than add sex appeal to the product

She isnt being 'used' she is doing her job that she choose herself and gets paid for to do.

It's ok, because I have my Pink Card, which is far more important to me. If having a "man-card" means I have to demean women, then I don't want it.

its a joke bro, i dont demean women, i also dont see them as inferior or superior to men, i will acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of the two.

[WAFFLETIME]

I dont see a good reason not to post it, sure people think its sexist but no one is forcing us to watch it and no one is forcing the "Booth Babes" To be "Booth Babes" 

 

Name it something reasonable like the women of computex 2013 or something like that to make people chill 

[MooseParade]

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

 

And I get paid to make sure no one steals merchandise from my store. A job is a job. I'm still waiting for you to make a valid point.

[QcDExtreme]

I say post it 

[ajoy39]

Yes the women are there by choice, that doesn't make it any less objectifying that you're paying a bunch of women to stand around and hold things in short skirts with their middrifts showing. Western Digital did it right based on their videos, they had women at their displays where *gasp* full clothing. They were there to talk about the technology, not be a sex object

and are you wearing short shorts and cut off? Does it involve being nothing more than a sex object?

I seriously love you

I don't think it's offensive to post this Video

just that it is unnecsessary,

who would have even thought of that

[Nicktrance]

I think I may have found a good compromise, upload it but make it unlisted so it is only accessible through a direct link. Then post that link in the forum with NSFW warnings if you really want to. That way people visiting the channel for the first time won't be put off, people who don't want to watch it get plenty of warnings and those who do get a forum exclusive :P.

[Barrington]

upload the Video and make it private so that the those who want to perv on women can and so that the general public won't see the video adding to the sexist nature 

[frawlzfans]

and are you wearing short shorts and cut off? Does it involve being nothing more than a sex object? 

You know boothbabes arent being forced and/or surprised on the day with "wear this revealing clothing" right? 

[M-ursu]

Actually... Our video DOES have a male booth babe in it................

Really?

Was he dressed like a woman?

[zip2k4]

Well, at the end of the day majority rules, as much as I am opposed to the idea :[

[ERSCreeper]

I don't see why not. They choose to accept the job and all the T&C's. And if people really wanted to see hot girl to fap to there are porn sites for that...

[Barrington]

Actually... Our video DOES have a male booth babe in it................

was it slick just getting to dress up?

sex sells, man or woman, they will like sexual appeal.

[ajoy39]

I'm explaining it one last time, yes booth babes are there by choice, that doesn't make the sheer existence of job any less sexist. 

[mememo]

and are you wearing short shorts and cut off? Does it involve being nothing more than a sex object? 

 

"Imagens average security guard wearing wearing short shorts and cut off" O_O that's terrifying i wouldn't steal from that shop

Neither does a dog at a dog show doing tricks merely for the enjoyment of everyone there. Or dolphins doing tricks.
