G4 is currently holding a “Booth Babe” contest for this year’s E3 in LA. Users on g4tv.com are being asked to rate which “babe” they think should win this honor, which really is a great idea, for both the company (G4) as they get a “booth babe” with a guaranteed built in fan base, a great news story, and a FREE booth babe.
Enter Kasey Poteet from North Hollywood, CA. She is currently a finalist in G4′s E3 2010 Booth Babe Search. She’s a true, hardcore gaming and comic book geek, with miles and miles of street cred. On top of that, she has one other thing that truly sets her apart from all the other contestants. Kacey Poteet (no potweet, although that would be awesome) has been banned from E3.
Why is that you ask? Nobody is quite sure why. Last year, she was hosting a segment on E3, where her viewers had voted on her attire, to which they chose Wonder Woman. Her attire was in line with the E3 Dress code, she was covering a Justice League game, and she was actually wearing more clothes than many others. But for some reason, Kacey was still kicked out, and BANNED from E3.
She made the best of it, and still managed to have a good time with the surrounding events, but can you imagine being kicked out of an event like that, after FOLLOWING the rules? Now imagine being kicked out of a lifelong dream like E3, and actually being a gamer. Yeah, I’d be crying (and cursing) the rest of the year. Actually, i would try to break in first, and then curse after getting kicked out again.
So before all of us gamers, and really, all of us social media citizens, is the chance to right a wrong. We have the opportunity to show that there is justice in this world, and that the citizens of the internet care about one another. We constantly talk about social good, and we all kick in when there’s a big natural disaster, but how often do we help, when all a person needs is a click? All it takes is one click, and a rating of 5 stars, and you can make one gamer’s dream come true, and actually get back at everybody who has ever wrongly held us down.
So go here and vote for Kasey Poteet soon (the contest ends firday, June 4th!). Share this on facebook, on Twitter, myspace, your message boards, forums, anywhere and get your friends to vote, too! And tell her on twitter at Twitter.com/kaseypoteet that you voted for her. She’ll actually reply back, and she’ll be grateful. And then she might end up beating you on a game online.
