WTF!? This seems really desperate on both ends. I mean, she's a cute girl. But c'mon! Here is the story. But in short, she allowed someone at Sony to mold her chest and utilize the breast plate for charity.
Jessica Chobot
Jessica Chobot is a writer on Zombie Studios' survival horror game Daylight and host of Nerdist News. Previously she worked at IGN as an on-air host.
I don't understand Jessica Chobot.

What don't you understand? She's using her sex appeal as a way to get money, using it for her job. And it's obviously working, as there are many people who will pay a lot for that molded breastplate. Everything she does makes desperate gamers starry eyed and that's why she keeps doing it.
Don't blame her, blame the people who are after her sexploitation.
" Yeah, who does she think she is. Doing this kind of stuff for charity... "Bitch is an attention whore I tell you what. Mhhmmm. /sarcasm
Actually... lots of famous girls do this. You just know some perv out there would pay a ridiculous amount of money for the molding, and all that money will go to charity. Everybody wins!
I love how roughly 75% of the posts refused to click the link to see that this is for BREAST CANCER!
Who says she doesn't like video games? Of course she does; but like someone like Morgan Webb, gamers only care about the fact that she's sexy and she likes their favorite hobby, whether or not they are good at their job." Could someone please put a bullet in her now? And why is it so few women in games writing are even willing to try to get by on their own merit? Seriously, do any of them actually like videogames? "
Though, it's sad that it makes it harder for people like Kat Bailey or aspiring female game journalists to be actually appreciated for what they do when the gamers just want the sexy that people like Olivia Munn bring or even the cutesy fake bullshit that makes random folks like Ultra Neko so popular.

Like another user already said, there are a lot of other ways to be involved in charity that doesn't involve your breasts. It's the fact she's always throwing herself into positions that revolve around the fact that she's a "hot chick". She even hosts an all-female podcasts labeled "girl fight", and that's the highest rated Ign podcast (according to Greg Miller). It may or not even be her doing, but everything she's involved in looks super desperate to get attention for her employer." What's the big deal it's for charity . "
" @xMP44x: The problem is that it looks like charity was second to getting her name out in the limelight. Just not very genuine. Like those pink KFC buckets. "Yeah, true. But at the same time charity was still a reasoning for it all. So it's reasonably decent, even if charity wasn't the top reason on the agenda.
" @xMP44x: The problem is that it looks like charity was second to getting her name out in the limelight. Just not very genuine. Like those pink KFC buckets. "Well no shit. Without publicity, hardly any substantial donations would happen.
" @Nasos100: sigh.. "Hey, don't you back off now!
We have to stop her from supporting a good cause when people out there have sore feet!
Jessica Chocobo. If she was a chocobo, I will shoot it in the head, grab its feathers and meat, and sell it at my local general store.
While it is a nice gesture. This breast plate thing isn't exactly making her look legit in front of the non-desperate gamers. Especially with her reputation so if she were to do it in some other less provocative way, say running video game tournament, then we probably wouldn't hear much about it. Of course, it doesn't matter what we say because she'll still get tons of attention back on IGN.

How dare she get herself into the limelight using small amounts of her sexuality, the whore.
Also, you guys are really going to look down on her for doing anything for charity? Real cool of you, seriously.
The intentions were good, and it's easy for me to hate on the girl, but the way it's being promoted is an obvious ploy to grab headlines and the horny reader's attention.
As I've said many, many times before, Jessica Chobot is one of life's greatest mysteries. Here is a girl that I am annoyed by and desperately attracted to. I simultaneously feel the urge to tell her off and stick my tongue down her throat.
