Reader Feedback on "Freaks and Geeks"

I agree with Amelie about the macho thing, donīt tell me about my country itīs full of it, although nerds not necessarily they have to be macho, they are beneath them, i AINīT A NERD i try hard ,but not nerd, but iīve been rudely insulted, although my country is not as superficial and bad oriented as yours, i mean you migth have at least one killer in every EUA schools, nerds are just trying to prove they are better that the group that annoys them, and they have better jobs, at least they think, in Physics, and about the macho stuff, well donīt feel disappointted there is machos just every where in the world, depends where they have been raised. I would be pleased that you read this, i hope i made my point.

I love this! I saw Weird Science at a young age too, and I think that movie influences me more than I'm willing to admit. I'm glad to see that other people (and TV networks) have been similarly effected.

I agree with the article that Discovery has a bad case of overcompensating machismo, but I take issue with the criticism of Kari. In keeping with the Mythbusters ethos, Kari has both considerable technical skill and great willingness to put life and limb at risk for the experiments. She is not eye candy. Incidentally, the picture of her in the white lab coat and visible bra was for an FHM magazine photoshoot and video, not Discovery.

You want to see the Mythbusters episode where they prove two nerds really *can* create Kelly LeBrock? I don't think so. My nerdly hormones still race at the concept of that undoubtedly highly intelligent, multi-talented, and generous woman. I have no doubt that, though she has never met me, she spends time each day longing for someone to fill the me-shaped gap in her heart. Each and every one of my manly seeds, on creation, are given the sacred charge of finding that her and impregnating her. I have no conscious control over this. And I haven't even seen the movie in over a decade. So, let's be honest. What you really want to see is the Mythbusters episode where they prove that no nerd, no matter how manly, can create anything close to Kelly LeBrock. Any other outcome would spell doom for the dating chances of all women, everywhere. And, incidentally, the consequent extinction of the entire human race. Am I right, or what?
