Y'all remember our writer Lydia Sung's opinion piece this past Sunday? Perhaps not? In short, she called for conventions like E3 to have more equality in their objectification (i.e. booth babes and booth boys). As the collective unconscious would have it, the very day after, a publisher anonymously posted an ad on craigslist calling for just that.
An excerpt reads, "Video game publishing company seeking one Male model for the E3 Expo to help promote our booth. Looking for someone tall and athletic."
Hm. I'm tall and athletic (despite my boyish good looks, I am adept at soccer, baseball, and soccer baseball). Yes, your dear gaming reporter has submitted himself to the darkside in the form of a modeling gig application. Has the whole world gone mad? It has. It has.
