Anyone remember the tv interview for Den News in '03? Where I got interviewed and they raped it into stupidity. It was editied to make us look like losers. I was pissed.

Was that the one with:
"They find school too slow"
"They go to special classes"
<where the bold words were really emphasised>

Anyone else remember Duddys sketch?

i tought the article was a load of ****e (god for Talented Youth i REALLY know how to get my argument across!:)) and totally unfair.
it really portrayed us as losers who willingly go to school in the Summer...
cos we ain't that at all!!!!!!!!;)

Didn't Sian refuse to be interviewed for the Tribune article? Most likely right as well.....

i would agree to interview, then answer each question with annother question, turning the topic from how nerdy we all are to... "and how do you feel about that?"

but then, i am the one who likes angry mobs, so what do i know.

Undergod

Not how to use a question mark, it seems...

But yeah, that would be amusing if nothing else.

Soooo, out of 4 or 5 sketches only one presents CTYI as not being full of nerds....

Think its time to take the hint guys....

What's wrong with being nerds? It doesnt have to be a derogatory term. And besides, we're going to be the ones defending them when they get sued for libel, or saving their lives when their lifetime of coffee and cigarettes gets to them, or inspiring their stories in 10 years' time.

I like how you think!

I love being a nerd. If I wasn't a nerd, I would never be sitting at a computer at 5:30, having not slept the night before, eating weetos and watching star trek. Why would I have issues with being called what I am and what I enjoy being? It's being portrayed as an anti-social nerd who has nothing better to do during the summer than learn which bothers me.

I have a society-given right to irregular sleep patterns, an eclectic but large store of knowledge and trivia, a taste for roleplaying, and an interest in computers, mathematics and science. I embrace these gifts!

There used to be great articles on 'Nerd' on wikipedia, but now they've been changed.

If that isn't the most nerdy sentence in the world, I dont know what is.

Is 'nerdy' a real word?

What is inexplicable about it? It makes perfect sense. They go to press without even asking one of the people in the dressing-gowns why they are dressed as they are, or even consulting wikipedia. Thats just sloppy journalism. The Indo would have gotten the facts straight.

In '04 the Indo portrayed us much worse, it has to be said. The hats mentioned in the article were mine! *is very proud*

Undergod

Yeah, Kevin, it is. If it's not, we could be nerdy about it and say it's a neologism.
