Trekkie Dating, is it Good for the Gene Pool?
Eloketh writes "It seems that Tucker Carlson of MSNBC thinks that Internet Dating services are a somewhat disturbing trend. Specifically, when talking about Trekkies, he says 'Is this good for the gene pool?' He also goes on to question whether allowing Trekkies to meet and mate is 'in the national interest.'"
Indeed. I have a Star Trek mystery dinner party game. Requires 4 men and 4 women. Where are you going to get 4 female trekkies? Are there 4 female trekkies?
Unfortunately this site came a little late into my life, for myself, and some of my friends, we had to resort to finding our mates the hard way.. on IRC.
He also goes on to question whether allowing Trekkies to meet and mate is 'in the national interest.
Wow, what a coincidence! Here I was just wondering if allowing Tucker Carlson to mate was in the national interest.
Is this supposed to be funny?
Yes.
I exaggerated the male to female ratio of Trekkies for comic effect. The idea was that people would see the absurdity of there being fewer than 4 female Star Trek fans in the entire world, causing laughter.
Hope that helps explain the concept, Commander Data.
Then turn on Fox anytime he happens to be on.
How many fulltime jobs can one man have?
Trekkies are a national security risk. Trekkies are everywhere. I might even be a Trekkie. See, Trekkies tend to believe that people must be tolerant, and progress in science, in order for any aliens to pay serious attention to them. You can see why this isn't in the national interest. The effects were minimized before they started breeding. Luckily, many Trekkies are male, leading to certain problems in mating, and a Trekkie and a `Normal' have a good chance of having a normal child. However, the number of female Trekkies is not decreasing. We must stop this infection of our society.
Trekkie dating is OK, although somewhat dangerous. Particularly if bystanders don't move quickly when the Klingon gets excited.
