Even if we accept the idea that “booth babes” are a legitimate marketing ploy, this symbolic blinding-and-deafening of them and removing their faces (symbolically, their humanity) is superfuckingweird.
Seriously, how this got through to execution is pretty shameful.
You normally dress up in slinky black dress and stand motionless in front of some advertising for a multi-billion dollar computer company at these house parties?
This is a shame too, as Paloalto has some good products. Now they have a layer of “skeeve” slathered on.

Booth babes turned me off car and motorcycle shows… Get me someone who can talk about the product, not a girl hired to look good around it.

For men. It’s a very old trope for men.
Because women in the 1950s when the trope started wouldn’t put something stupid on their heads. Even if they were drunk.
You’re rationalizing SO hard.
