"Believe it or not, they're official LG booth babes, for MWC! That's a press photo from this morning, for the Optimus 4X thing.

They do look a bit young for booth babes, IMO."

Holy crap... That's really quite shocking and makes me seriously question whether I'd want to do business with LG. If you had a 14 year old daughter, would you appreciate LG or whoever paying her to wear a very low cut shirt and make eyes at a bunch of older (mostly) men to entice them to buy a phone? I don't consider myself an "overprotective" parent, but I think this sort of sexualization of young girls by a large company is really sick and distasteful. /r/jailbait got shut down for sexualizing girls of this same (apparent) age, just as LG is doing. Gross.


Busted ! :-)
