Booth Babes @ Interbike

[zoom-zoom]

I have seen SO many pictures of hoochies from Interbike, like this one:


I have half a mind to write Cannondale and tell them that I'm going to put opaque tape over every one of their danged brand graphics on the THREE Cdale bikes in our garage. The bimbos they chose are clearly not even cyclists (tiny, undefined thighs with no tan lines). I would have thought Cannondale had more class after they sponsored the Reve tour. Guess not.

MTB had a photo that garnered a lot of well-deserved criticism, too--on their FB page--from irritated women and men. Eventually they pulled the photo and replaced it with a shot of a guy in the dunk tank. Seriously, is that the best idea they could come up with to sell product? Cyclelicious also discussed the issue and offered some really interesting links on the topic.

I understand that the show is in Vegas, but isn't it possible for vendors to attract retailers their product without resorting to silicone boobs? If that's all they've got going for what they're selling, then it's a wonder they stay in business. That crap is offensive to at least half of the public.
