Good Girls: Do or Don't?

Poll question: Good Girls: Do or Don't?

[redqueen]

1. I was going to say I can't believe they're using sex to sell video games...

but I totally can.

:puke:

3. Average age of gamers is 28...the perfect target audience.

This is actually pretty mild compared to some stuff I've seen over the years. It makes me want to fondle my DS though...

:hide:

[redqueen]

4. And I guess women just don't buy enough games

to merit beefcake ads for them.

I'm just sick of it all I tell you. Fed up I am.

[Forkboy]

5. Actually, woman make up a large percentage of gamers.

As of last year 38% of gamers were female. I just met a woman in her 50's at the VA hospital last week who wanted to know about my Nintendo DS. Said she plays games all the time.

And there's plenty of beefcake in games. Ever see an overweight male game hero? Me either.

[redqueen]

6. No, no... in the ads I mean.

To sell the games.

[Forkboy]

7. No, it's definitely not proportionate in that regard.

Like pretty much every other medium, sadly.

9. You need to start your own gaming company

and use beefcake to market it to women!

[redqueen]

11. Nah...

I doubt it would come anywhere near putting even the most infintessimally small dent in the imbalance between sexy images of women vs. men in adverstising.

[NewJeffCT]

12. well

you have to start somewhere.

[petronius]

2. Don't - you lost me at the dotting 'i's with hearts bit

Flowers or smiley faces are one thing, but hearts turn my stomach... :)

[Bucky]

8. If they don't... how do you know if they're good or not?

10. Nothing a song by The Knack won't fix

Hey, look at this kickass picture of Green Day I found:

13. You're the only one who got the ref

Congrats

[elshiva]

14. I got the ref, too!

Good Girls Don't, but I do!

15. That either makes me a big 70s music geek, or really old

Either one is acceptable, I suppose!
