Where is the line between being a fan and being clinically-obsessed?

Don’t get me wrong, I liked the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just like everyone else did — but this girl takes it a little far. Especially with the pizza toppings…

Reminds me of people that get dressed up for Comic Cons, Furries and LARPing.

How to hold a press conference

Filed under: Culture — Tim @ 5:19 pm

If you are a fan of Borat’s impromptu press conference held last fall, then you will probably enjoy this one.

The interview is regarding the recent “bomb scare” in Boston. It turns out that a TBS affiliate over-reacted and published a rather lame, sensationalistic report about possible bomb devices located throughout the city.

If nothing else, this is just another exhibit of how paranoid certain individuals are — shoot first, ask questions later?

Addendum: my buddy Randall noted that the graphic has already become part of a subculture meme (originally started at SomethingAwful, picture #4 and here).
