The half-naked ladies, and creepy male dancers at the SpeakerCraft booth were the talk of the show – certainly moreso than the company's new rock speakers.

With the sluggish economy and the general blahs in the CE community, you'd think the outrageous show at SpeakerCraft would be a welcome respite for weary dealers, especially given the anticipation of another wardrobe malfunction (or was it?).

Was the display "an embarrasment" and "a joke," as AnthonyZ says on RemoteCentral.com?

Or was it "the single most creative booth event of the year," as integrator Lee Distad called it?

I think he meant that in a good way.
