How Comic Fans & Shops Are Stereotyped

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-represent-that-comment dept.

brumgrunt writes "Why do TV shows, such as 30 Rock, The Simpsons, Heroes, and Everybody Loves Raymond, persist in so ferevently stereotyping comic book fans and stores? Den of Geek has pulled together eight examples, with video evidence to back them up ..." Minus one point for doubling up on Malcolm in the Middle. Plus 10 points for referencing Spaced, which I hope you all have seen.

    She is your girlfriend... You are single.
    Single==not married.
    I know that the world now has shades of grey but if so then they are this.
    Single not married, not living with someone, not going to get married or live with some one soon.
    In a relationship.. Dating the same person for a while and only that person.
    In a long term relationship Living with someone.
    Married.

    The stereotype for Slashdot is living in your parents basement. and scared of or tend to scare off members of the opposite sex.

    I'll withhold the Simpson's quote, and instead marvel at your rediculously low member number. Good to see your still around :)

    Can anyone explain why headers appear and disappear whenever I try to open a Slashdot page? I cannot think of a site of a site more inconsistent and capricious in its presentation.
