There is a Russian IT company that tends to rent huge stands at tech conferences and have a squad of practically naked girls gyrate on them; I mean, booth babes are one thing, but they are going further. The result is a constant line of the ill-bred standing in front of their stand, ogling. Anyway, on the Wednesday of MWC I happened to walk out of an aisle behind the stand, with the result that I appeared from behind some SIM-verification company's placards, facing the line of oglers. It was a depressing sight - what struck me was that they didn't even appear to feel anything as humane as lust, which implies more participation. Sex with the sex taken out is a highly sinister concept; Orwell made good use of this in 1984.
(Actually, the dancing was sort of North Korean Mass Games, come to think of it.)

See, this is exactly the sort of post that would be better with illustrations.
Of the line of oglers, obviously.
