Ok, this has nothing to do with Monster Rancher, just thought everyone would get a kick out of it! It's from an industry newsletter.

"Tecmo’s “Racy” Show Unplugged at E3 [5/19/2003 11:57:00 AM ET]
Not content with clogging aisles and drawing so many fans that the booths of neighboring exhibitors were overrun, Tecmo, Inc. actually issued a press release making it sound like they were proud of the fact that E3 show management had to pull the plug on their display.
The company’s Dead or Alive Online stage shows, which ran twice-daily and featured DOA girls walking a catwalk, drew complaints from both fire marshals at the show—for obstructing walk and exit ways—and from E3 management, who apparently did not appreciate the “racy” content of the show. Management also had to pull security personnel from other areas of the show to handle the crowds in the Tecmo booth.
All this added up to fire marshals threatening to close the entire West Hall of E3 according to Tecmo, who apologized, but only to fans whom had their show “abruptly interrupted.”
“I’ve been told that this was the first time in E3 history that a company had their electricity shut off,” said John Inada, Tecmo’s general manager. “We are in the entertainment business, and we have an obligation to our fans to entertain. We have no apologies for doing our job too well.”
Perhaps Tecmo should put their money where their mouth is and shell out for a larger booth area next year, in order to better contain their adoring fans."

O_o Woah thats messed up.

Hey, speaking of which, did they ever do that Q&A session that a bunch of us sent in questions for?

Nice.

According to Brian over on the Tecmo forums, they didn't have the time. Sorry.
