For those of you not currently attending high school or working in NASA office services, and lack access to persecutable nerds on a daily basis, the comic book industry stages regional conventions where you can see all the fat versions of your favorite fictional characters.
New York Comic Con was no exception, showcasing only the most ample of future college campus gunmen flossing their muffin-topped costumes like pimps at a players ball. There was Fat Colossus, Awkward-Fitting Cobra Commander, and Dumpy Slave Leia among countless others, all united under the banner of involuntary celibacy.
We would have vigorously applied wedgies, noogies, and whirly bowls to these socially-mutated permavirgins, but our Master Chief armor was far too restrictive.

In addition to the release of new details about the upcoming Hulk and Indiana Jones movies came the announcement of Blue Beetle as new spokesballs for Dasani water.

Two costumes in one, this getup deftly fuses both Princess Leia in slave regalia with her captor, Jabba the Hutt.

Ah a good laugh in the morning, I myself have been to a few of these events, no not in costume. Gene Simmons even picked up on my girlfriend. If your lucky you might spot some of the Adult comic live models. There's a reason to go.
Have you seen the New Tomb Raider girl. Ouch!

So I inquire, "why were you there?" and I additionally inquire, what would you have looked like if the camera was turned on you? The looks peoplel gave you appeared as if you were one of them. Or are you a bully who goes out of their way to be an ass?

Wow - are you really that desperate for hits that you'll post a garbage article like this with boring jokes and overused sarcasm?
If you want to try a controversial piece, write about something controversial. Next up - sports fans who paint their faces, right?

Ah, it's all in good fun. Nerds' ability to be self-depricating is their most endearing trait. We're all nerds in one way or another. We just prefer to embrace it in our homes, rather than in a huge convention center full of jerks with cameras.
