Sorry, but the requeue invocation has been removed - ignoring requeue request by theaceofclubz.

surprised it needed a requeue, given the audience.

i'm sure it'll sift, soon enough, from the p-q.

Moving this video to theaceofclubz's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

The rhetorical facade of these sorts of things always bugs me: the interviewer here is addressing the stereotypical jockish everyman when it's clear her audience is actually the same Geeks she's talking up. This is not a PSA designed to help anyone, its a verbal handjob that perpetuates the same geek vs. Jock stereotypes that haven't been insightful since Revenge of the Nerds.

Everyone claims to be a geek these days whether they are or not. Geek is chic.

Stereotypes aside, this gets an upvote for the informative images. Kudos to the guy who strapped a Mac Classic to his back.

Too bad this little geek promo is completely wrong. Chicks may get pissed at the jocks who forget their anniversary, but they'll never go for the geek unless they are money grubbing whores. They female fantasy man who is thoughtful, sensitive, and reads sex manuals is seen as "needy" in the real world, and that's never sexy. Even if she "dates" the geek, she'll be sleeping with the bastard who doesn't notice her haircut.

Revenge of the Nerds indeed.

Haha, what a load. Nothing like using sweeping generalizations to guide your life. A "geek" can be just as much of a self centered prick as a "jock" can. And as was comically pointed out people don't always go for what they say they want. I think that's part of the "grass is always greener" phenomena.

Could her nasally voice be a little more grating? I don't think my ears are bleeding enough yet.

While checking out the Siftrocities playlist I found the video that this woman reminds me of - http://www.videosift.com/video/Victoria-My-Baby

It's discarded and a broken link, but the thumbnail is instantly recognizable to anyone who has seen the original bit.
