Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form

Treebiter1 writes "Happy Worker, a specialty toy developer, has introduced a new action figure the "GeekMan Action Figure." Billed as the "a hunk o' hunk of nerdly love." His "super powers" include ungodly coding abilities; opposite sex repulsion; analytical reasoning; ability to create technical acronyms; less than ideal personal hygiene routine. This is kind of an oddity, perhpas I should say it is an oddity, but it might make a funny gag gift."

    Site doesn't even load properly in opera. Ungodly HTML skills no doubt.

    He seems more the old nerd/geek as shown in jock movies. Not the nerd/geek as they are in real life but rather as tv would like to show them.

    Neither the part about barbies feet or boobs are correct. She has very small feet and would likely have problems finding shoes (so much more time spend shoe shopping), but her breast are only slightly over average, you must have very small breast to not see that ;). Even women with breasts 5-10 times larger do not have problems with balance, although they often develop backpains in their 40's.

    And yes the stereotyping is bad. I pretty much live up to every geek stereotype, but even I can find a girls. I used to think I couldn't (reflecting social trends?), but once I actually _tried_ it became a lot easier.
