In this clip from Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body," Jack McBrayer from 30 Rock exudes a very charismatic dorkiness* that somehow makes the fantasy work. A reader suggests McBrayer's nerd character is modeled after Bill Gates. Come on. If that were really Gates in bed with Mimi, it would be as mismatched and unsexy as a Vista progress bar in the middle of downloading porn.

*Paul Boutin, our local heterosexual, told me I had to say it like that to avoid sounding gay. Apparently "charismatic dorkiness" is the verbal equivalent of a punch on the shoulder. Did it work?
