E3 Culture: Geek Chic

Today on : Suzuki's , CSI’s , and the new Toyota Camry

Please take our . E3 Culture: Geek Chic Posted May 20, 2005, 8:34 PM ET by Vladimir Cole Related entries:

Theres a ton to say on the culture of E3, so this post will capture just one little component of it: the wacky T-shirts that just scream Im a geek, and proud of it.

The Joystiq cultural anthropologist says: The specimen sporting this shirt is not only proud of his so-called geekiness, but also of his general lack of magnetism when it comes to members of the opposite sex. This magnetic deficiency manifests itself via a surfeit of flesh and the subjects mere presence at a gathering of like-minded individuals. His ability to laugh at his own geekiness springs from a quiet confidence that comes from self-knowledge. It is also interesting to note that the subject declares his heterosexuality via this shirt, indicating that E3 is a hetero-normal environment.

PS: Said chick magnet consented to be the subject of this blog post.
