Fake geeks really grind my gears...

Ah attack of the show, how you annoy me. Let me state the ways, between your old news reviews on gadgets any true geek has gotten the feed on weeks ago. To your shameless tits for ratings. But let's go into more details.

Being a geek has lost it's flare of the past few years and maybe I'm just bitter, but it really ticks me off that the more technology comes available to the general mass the more "poser" geeks are popping up in the media. These people didn't even know what a computer was until last year, and it is very clear from their blank expressions as they read off the cards about the newest tech toy that they care very little about what they're trying to sell.

You see the same type of people at Starbucks on the weekend bragging to their friends about how geeky they are because they were able to get their Macbook to automatically join the Starbucks network to get their blogs off (oh the irony of what I just said is strong).

I guess what annoys me the most about these shows is true geeks like myself and many of you reading never had the chance to wear geek as a badge of honor growing up. Far from it, we were social outcasts that girl in the picture above who is making millions of flashing her tits in the name of new age geeks everywhere was the same girl cheering her 250 lbs football playing boyfriend on as he pummeled my magic card playing ass after school in the parking lot for just being myself.

Am I bitter about this new mainstream geek, you better believe it. Most of us geeks have been able to type before we could write. Were we ever praised? No we were called anti social / nerd / loser by everyone and their mom (seriously someone's mom in high school made fun of me with her jock son one night from their pick up truck).

I spent my college years with other geeks doing what we do best, playing video games, drinking, and geeking out to magic cards. Was I considered something of value to my peers? No I was considered a loser because I wasn't out getting the latest in STD.

But now with the popularity of idiot proof technology any tits can get on TV with a pair of skull candy earphones on her head and make a fortune.

Makes my stomach sick, and my clicky wrist (broken by a jock in middle school) hurt worse than when it's cold outside.

I'm out, gotta go throw up, I'll tweet the color from my iPod.
