"booth babes"??

It IS very sad to see this kind of advertising used for ANY product.

Someone here has a tag line of "Vote with your feet." Boycott their products, etc.; however companies like publicity, even negative boycotting publicity since it gets their name out there.

You would think that the models would protest but it's a paycheck and usually a nice fat one for rather "clean" work.

It's sad that we are rearing children to be independent and self-actualizing regardless of gender, and as of yet, it has little impact in raising the consciousness of society in general.

I admire smartly dressed women as much as anyone; but when it's used as "buy this product and you'll have babes like me swooning at your feet" mentality, it's just so SAD to see.

It's similar to the problem of infidelity. Women are crushed by infidelity (just as men are). What if all women said I would never do that to another woman? What if men said I would never do that to another man. What if we all said let's stop demeaning ourselves and others with our behavior.

It's all about self-respect and true altruism.

When my folks lived in FL I used to go to Bikeweek in Daytona with my brother and dad, I asked some of the gals that worked the booths why they would do it...basically a college gal can go to FL for one week and go home with $3000 to $5000 cash for serving drinks and bartending in a skimpy outfit. As more than one of the gals told me "if men are stupid enough to give me a huge tip while they stare at my boobs then I'm going to take advantage of it while I still have good looking boobs".

That someone is me While I meant this as a pun on the saying "customers vote with their feet" means that "unhappy customers leave your business" not so much a boycott, they just leave

And it costs a company several times more to win that customer or group back then it does to gain new customers.

Pick a sock and wear 'em. Let's bike the vote!
