You would have to be some kind of giant idiot to have your buying decision based on booth babe's.
Those that are or were deserve what they get.
Otherwise I see no issue with the models being there. It's not like there are that many anyway.
It also adds to me not seeing nothing but you ugly guys all day and making an already boring convention a bit less mundane. +1

This is very serious, and could be the end as we know it.
It is right up there with the lawmaker in Montana wanting to outlaw tight Yoga pants.
This is why I drink.

Joking aside, most vendors at CEDIA have taken steps to "clean up" their acts.
"We" as an industry are trying to gain public acceptance as a real "Profession" and also pull more women into our ranks. The only way we can do this is to not act like teenagers on our first date with a "sure thing" (yeah like that really happens).
At this point many of us are older and married so our priorities and activities have changed for the less puerile (our enjoyment of Jeremy Clarkson not withstanding) and we (sometimes) do think about how our actions effect our business and lives.
Ethereal is a prime example of this change, at the beginning there were only 3 of us, our "Fearless Leader", myself and an Admin Assistant. Now that "AA" is in charge and we have a sales/support staff of 14.5 people, 8 of them being female.
Our Natl. Sales mgr. (Miranda) is only 25 and has already made a strong impact with our dealers because of her ability to share information and get problems resolved.
The lead tech for our Spyclops Video Surveillance line (Deanna) is also very good at talking dealers off of the "Network fear" ledge and making systems work.
The world is changing (at least at Ethereal) for the better, it is time for the industry as a whole to reflect the impact and reality of women in our workforce.

CES banned "booth babes" many years ago. So you don't see them at the booths, but you do see them wandering around handing things out.
I personally don't object. I think it's the silliest thing in the world and don't see how it could possibly help business, but it's an honest job for those women who choose to do it.
And this is why I've been banned for life from the women-in-ce groups.
