This item is a bit old but I heard a few people talk about this and I wanted to bring some attention to it. Also, I don’t get enough excuses on this site to post pictures of Kristin Davis. Back when that chick movie came out a few weeks ago, Sex In The City fans acted just like Star Wars fans. They waited in line dressed as their favorite characters, tossed back the drinks made famous on the show, and made a big production of this event. I guess emulating three hookers and their mom is not as cringe worthy as recreating light saber battles.

I sounded off before about a similar double standard where one fan base’s behavior was accepted even though it was identical to what the geeks did. For some reason, no one batted an eye when people dressed up as pirates to go see Pirates of the Caribbean. But getting all done up as Darth Maul? Unacceptable, even though guys wear less eyeliner as the latter.

This also reminded me of the debate between Sports Guy vs. Star Wars nerd since even though they are equal, society has determined sports obsession is acceptable. Any kind of interest in sci fi and comics are not.

The point is we all have geek tendencies inside of us. Choose wisely what you nerd out about unless you want society giving you a hard time.

“So it’s a show about three hookers and their mom?”
