When Sexy Ladies in Bikinis Shill Video Games

  Now, let’s not kid ourselves. We all love sexy ladies in bikinis. Of course we do. In the bikini, out of it, whichever. It's all good. That’s why we’re all here, one big happy brotherhood of ogling. This isn’t barneythedinosaur.com, my friends.  

The fine female form will insta-brighten anyone’s day. We’re here to spread the joy, you’re here to appreciate it, so we can continue to do so. It’s like The Lion King’s circle of life, but with more tits.

Over the years, canny advertising dudes have become pretty well attuned to what we guys like. Fast cars, sports, beer, norkage… that’s what we’re all about. Some combination of these things is a sure way to hawk any product they choose in our direction. Even when the ‘product’ at hand is a live stream of video games.

This Craiglist ad really takes the cake in that regard. Kotaku spotted a listing seeking a female video game streamer, mentioning site specialties in PC games (Hearthstone, DOTA, that sort of deal). They also mention that no experience is necessary and that they’re looking for ‘people that love to be the centre of attention and are comfortable showing some skin.’ You see where this is going.

Streamers should be comfortable wearing a bikini top, that’s where it’s going. Now, there’s a place for sexy ladies. Most places are just fine, really. But I’m not sure this is one of them. It’s like the video equivalent of a raunchy thumbnail, which you click only to discover it’s completely freaking irrelevant to the subject at hand.  

Still, they’re forward about it all, and that’s never a bad thing.
