A frighteningly accurate excerpt from Cracked’s The Evolution of Fictional Characters by Medium

This reminds me of something, but I can’t quite put my finger on what… Hmmm

Frankly, I’d say the penultimate image should give her boots with way taller and less comfortable heels than that. Then again, this comic came out in 2010, FOUR YEARS before the Samus rocket high heels.

Now, we’re well into 2015 and it still stays topical.
It’s a sad world where the parodies are so accurate they might as well prophetize the future of franchises.

Ritual Entertainment’s SiN is a franchise that truly went all out on the sex sells approach.  The even went as far to hire fetish model Bianca Beauchamp to cosplay as the iconic villainess Elexis Sinclair from the first game and be a booth babe at E3.* They also hired her for modeling reference**, motion capture and extra publicity shoots.

This was all to promote for their nine part SiN Episodes series that stopped mysteriously after part one.

Could it be that sex doesn’t sell!? Is this possible!?

* I love this video because it showcases one of the drawbacks of this approach – the interviewer is clearly more interested in asking Bianca about herself rather than this game she’s there to promote.

Part of the many, many demanding regulations that Playboy Bunnies had to adhere to while working in Playboy clubs was that drinks had to be served and tips collected via The Dip.

Why? Because otherwise you were almost certainly guaranteed a nip slip at best.  Now consider how awkward it would be to fight in them without doing something that would be unbecoming of a Playboy club.
