    So, those two normal people got to meet both Bobcat Goldthwait and Dean Cain? Cool.

    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.

    I come here for two reasons.


    1) To hear you and Aaron and the rest's commentary on it.


    2) Put my dick mittens on Ryan Tate.

    In reply to Following Hallowed Nerd Tradition, Michael Phelps Dates Asian Chick
    I've always been confused by the Phelps-as-nerd narrative. The guy is successful, an athlete, gets girls etc... Am I having trouble finding his Star Trek costume? His Dungeons and Dragons fetish? His collection of action figures? His predilection for intellectual pursuits over the physical?


    I always thought that jock was the opposite of nerd?


    Also, are there any other mixed-race pairings that we could mock? Maybe Gawker should create a whole subsite dedicated to ridiculing those who date across the tracks.

    Aw, isn't that cute. Gawker has Valleywag envy, right down to the Tom Anderson ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h Gillboy with cute asian girl minus MySpace hookup.


    Other than that, don't knock it till you try it. Asian girls [for me, Chinese and Japanese] rock. Merry Christmas:

    He's dating an Asian! What's wrong with him? I know, I'll use bigotry and stereotypes to find the answer.


    Nope, nothing offensive at all about that.

    White nerds dating Asian girls is a trend. I don't think it's offensive to point it out. What's offensive is that it's hard to find a white nerd to date tall (5'10") black nerd girls like myself. (Sorry for the overshare.)

    Oooooooooooooooooo! "Adult Swim began as a "spin-off" of Cartoon Network, premiering on September 2, 2001 with the airing of Home Movies. The name is derived from public swimming pools often having designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults. These times are often referred to as "adult swim"

    Yes! Thank Gawd for Asian women! Because who else would take all those nerdy ugly white boys (oh whoops-- I guess I mean the OLD ones too!) that nobody else wants?


    No problem USA, we'll take them ALL off your hands.


    And don't worry, you can thank us properly once our mission is fully accomplished. I'm sure you're just dying for the day when you'll no longer have to deal with all those pasty pesky needy mutherfukkers.
