Yeah, that much has been obvious ever since forever. But egotistical misogynistic nerds?? I want out of 2013, right now. This is a horrible sign. These should be illegal. I'm installing parental controls on my Internet. Everything is horrible.

Nerds want to exclude others from their inner circle just as much as any other social group. Sadly excluding women still passes in much of society.

As for egotistical, well now that nerds are the ones on top of society not only controlling a large chunk of the economy but driving most industries, easy to see where that comes from.

It sounded like the most bizarre inverse-Manic Pixie Dream Girl/reverse-ladder theory I've ever heard.

I was telling a friend about King of the Nerds last night and he told me that there was some made for TV movie in production for SyFy about a girl who dresses up as a "Gamer Girl" with a pair of glasses, a geeky shirt, and a DC comic book in her arms, trolls conventions and comic shops for boys, then takes them home, makes out with them, and then murders them.

I'm starting to get worried about things that show up on our TV....

Are you sure it wasn't just this fake SyFy quality trailer?

It might have been. I've not had any time to verify a random story told to me by a very excitable friend.

I'm pretty much okay with this happening to me, honestly.

EDIT: Though I expect to at least get to third base.

Ok, that's actually pretty sig-worthy.

So I finally got around to watching this show on my DVR yesterday. It's not terrible.

The nerds they chose for the show are sufficiently stereotype-ish without being too offensive. The hosts make the challenges pretty fun to watch. Having the players pick teams playground-dodgeball style with an uneven number of contestants and then declaring the player not picked at the end the winner for being the ultimate nerd was kind of cute. I am a little bit sad that Hendrik, the contestant I felt embodied the spirit of the show the best, basically chose to fall on his own sword by volunteering himself for the first elimination challenge and then losing it due to following bad advice from the girl who was arguably the worst contestant on his team.

I think I'll give this show a chance. It's not terrible and shows, at times, to be heart-warmingly nerdy.

Perhaps, but if you could make your sig a little less stupidly huge, it would be appreciated. Remove the image, don't use quote boxes, whatever you gotta do to get that monster you currently have under control. Thanks!
