Some people cant just enjoy good old fashion entertainment.Half dressed good looking women have entertained people for many years before some overweight depressed pissed off fat girl decided that she is mad that noone looks at her and has to take it out on men on the web.Get over yourself and relax.Life is to short.Besides prostitution is the worlds oldest profession that was created by women.

I think the “cheesecake” is there because this particular installation is in Esquires ultimate bachelor pad. May have been the magazines choice, who knows?

As for an LCD, I wouldn’t want to masse on that. The whole point of doing it this way is to preserve the feel and play of the table.

And and yes it is an overpriced pointless luxury item… the 125,000 probably doesn’t even include the table to play on.

Could probably do this for way less with some sort of open source software, a laptop, a video camera, and a much cheaper projector.

The unnecessary cheesecake was my first thought as well. Couldn’t have just put down an underwater scene or something..

I love that there are men out there who are not into this.

BikerRay: good comparison.

Yup, gotta have a picture of a scantily-clad woman to distract investors from the fact that it’s a really dumb idea.

Give it ten minutes before it just became really annoying and distracting. Like the visualizations in Winamp.

bottom line: over priced unnecessary overpriced bullshit.

meh, it would be easier to make a pressure sensitive lcd screen than a projector that has to monitor the balls movement to change the image

notChang – it’s done with a projector so it’ll be rather cheaper to make.

Strange choice of image. There are so many things they /could/ have done with it – but no, they descend to scantily clad women.

You could have balls of fire with explosions when they collide.
You could have tendrils of beautiful plants unfurling behind the ball with showers of seeds on impact.
A comet flying through space with planetary creation for the impact.

But no – revealing glimpses of a woman trumps the lot. How very predictable.

$125,000 seems pretty high for some crappy pool table with a pressure sensitive LCD(probably)screen. What will the human race do next?

I can see someone messing up (or perhaps being drunk) and laying a nice $125,000 scratch on it.
