I was not there and only watched the stream. And if I combine this with this threads title, the "presentation" of Lauren was really just "eye candy"! She was standing besides the other host and handed out USB-Sticks and whatever. Maybe I missed it, but did she say anything at all besides maybe "Who wants this <advertisement product>"?
I don't have a problem with a beautiful woman as host; I even don't care if she knows the game or not. But please let the girl do something useful!
i.e. I remember visiting a trade fair. There was a company that were selling shutter gates. They had a "performance" where a fork truck was crushing into one of their gates (and it didn't break and so on). It was presented by a really gorgeous woman, that explained how good the gates are and so on. Yes, she probably got more photos of herself then the actual gate they were selling. I don't care if she did this because she "felt" something about the product or just because she was paid for it. But she was doing something besides standing around and showing her body: She was actually more then just "eye candy".
And like I said: Maybe I missed it, but all I saw from Lauren was standing around smiling and walking with swiveling hips! THIS is NOT what I want a woman to be presented! And this is me talking, that always tells his (female) dancing partners, that in dancing the man leads and the woman has to look good

I hate to break it to anyone who didnt notice, but shes making a career out of being "objectified" or whatever way you want to put it. Objectified is such a crass term anyway used in a self serving way to let ones conscious feel better.
She wants to do it, shes getting paid to host. And shes doing her job to the extent that is neccessary. I didnt really notice her much and its not like I HAVE to watch the content when she pops up. But other people want to and like it. I dont see the problem. If her job atNASL is to be eye candy (which I reiterate is her primary occupation) then I dont see the problem.
