New Guild in WOW, E3 Won't be Bootylicious, and a great rant

Blizzard has decided to ban a gay/lesbian friendly guild in World of Warcraft (story: http://www.wowinsider.com/2006/01/28/political-correctness-gone-mad/). Their rule citation may be off, citing: "Harassment - Sexual Orientation" because of solicitations for people to join the guild, but I can still see why they will want to ban such a guild. It would be akin to having a Liberal or Conservative Only guild, once that is up, the other will come up and there just won't be peace. I do have no doubt that some anti-gay guild will pop up at some point, although I do hope it won't gain any popularity whatsoever.
But someone in the Dreamstation.cc podcast pointed out that MMO's are a social place as well as gaming. I wouldn't mind having such guilds listed above around, just as long as they don't get too discourtious or ruin the game for others.
Then again, I don't play WOW, but I sure do like its coverage.

Then there's the ESA, who decided to start enforcing rules for models, aka booth babes (story: http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=24247233). I'm actually rather neutral on it. On one hand, it is the ESA's show and they can do whatever they want. I don't think it is a negative or positive thing, just different.
There is a debate going on whether these models should even be at E3. I'll just point out that these models are there to attract people to their booth (as in why they're called booth babes). While babes don't have much to do with gaming (like they do with cars), it certainly is a sound stratagy.

Last night, I did not watch Bush's speech. The reason: I simply had something better to do, eat dinner. I did, however, catch a good rant on Countdown, which you can view here: http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/002814.html#002814.
