Nerds Gone Wild
Bad movies. Bad TV. Bad actors. Bad blogs. LAN parties. High scores. Mixtapes. Role playing. Stalking. Pirating. We care. And we discuss.

"Crackheads gone wild. Yes, like the girls, but.... crackheads."

Man, the presentation could not be better. I cracked up before the announcer finished his first sentence.

Annnnd upon re-examining my comment, I have inadvertently sinned against the english language in pun form.

Gotta love it, Crackheads gone wild... Absurd, shabby, grotesque, sad, big money maker... only in America, right?

(BTW, PeterMcDermott, thanks for linking to this curious bit of Media Americana. Living abroad without access to US TV is essentially, for me, a really positive thing, but every now and again it's interesting to see just how things work, and get presented, back in the birthplace of PT Barnum.)

Would someone who corrals nerds for a video game party be a LAN drover?

I wouldn't cry a second if the Fox News studios imploded but I will admit, Shep Smith's presentation often amuses me.

would nerds really publish a newsletter in PDF format?

Hahah, reminds me of "Beauty and the Geek." Think any of them get laid?
