Re: MORE BABES!
Couldn't agree with you more.

Bob, I understand what you are talking about. I submit that the ad really had nothing to do with it. That woman was looking for an excuse to cop that attitude, and if hadn't found that ad, would have found something else. Otherwise, the kid won't be playing baseball, football, basketball, video games, or anything else - because they ALL have adds like that.
I'll reiterate that I don't like magazine adds with a nearly naked girl holding a marker either. If I want to look at that kind of material I'll check out a Playboy or something - their pics are MUCH better. And I have never been influenced in a paintball purchase by such an ad.
At the same time, smartly doen advertising - sometimes involving beautiful women and possibly some nudity can catch the eye. Take the old JT adds with that really cute girl in them. No skin, just good old American Beauty!
But I thought the argument here was that paintball players in general shouldn't go "ga-ga" over georgious girls like Keely. I don't think the magazine ad issue is the same issue at all. I mean, otherwise let's talk about the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue!
No, the question here was more about our attitudes towards the girls we play with (or would like to play with) like Keely and Ann, etc. In this case, I would go so far as to say the ladies PREFER that we oogle and eye-ball their scrumptous bods! Otherwise, why are they showing them off? And the rest of the ladies are good with it too, as long as we are checking them out just the same. Oh they may give us dirty looks and stuff, but in reality they LOVE it!
Its all about boys and girls playing together and its a beautiful thing.
