News.com goes smutty over babes

UK TV CHANNEL Five built up its, um, reputation on programmes that represented themselves as "investigations” into pornography, pop stars' private lives and other such nonsense that were a veiled excuse to show some audience-grabbing content.

Now, our nearest equivalent in prurience, the US, is steaming in via News.com's piece, yesterday, on scantily-clad women appearing on the stands of computer trade exhibitions.

Leaving aside the fact that the title 'Despite controversy booth babes still prowl at E3' is a diary alert for many readers, the piece is a sober examination of the flip-flopping of organisers' attitudes to skin exposure at such shows.

A pity, then, about the about the link 'Booth babes then and now'. µ
