Frag Dolls
From SourceWatch
The Frag Dolls is a team of attractive young women gamers who go by names such as "Eekers," "Valkyrie" and "Jinx" and are paid by Ubisoft, a company that makes computer games, to promote the company's products.[1]
Ubisoft also produces the America's Army series of computer games developed to help the U.S. Department of Defense in its military recruiting efforts.[2]
The Frag Dolls have helped promote the army's games by serving as "booth babes" at gaming conventions, where they play the game and pose for photos and video.[citation needed]
