Why Comic Con is not exactly a Safe Space

[major_clanger]

Games company Electronic Arts are apparently running a competition at the San Diego Comic Con inviting attendees to "commit acts of lust" with 'booth babes' (not even their employed sex objects, but any female staff at the con) and submit photographic evidence with the aim of winning "a sinful night out with TWO hot girls".

Not everyone is entirely impressed; see the Twitter #EAFail hashtag for horrified jaw-dropping.

To their credit, I notice that the winner is 'handpicked', which I'm guessing means that the girls get to decide for themselves who they have dinner with.

(Not saying it's a good idea, merely pointing out that it pays to be courteous to the girls if they get to choose)

I really don't think that 'courtesy' comes anywhere near this. It also seems far more likely that the hand-picking is by (male) EA executives on the basis of the submitted pictures.
