    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.

      It’s happy hour, having a lamp shade on your head while drunk at a house party is a very old media trope, you are reaching SO hard.

        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.

        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.
