Sh*t Nerds Never Say
Posted in: Today's ChiliHow do you revive the Shit Girls Say meme that’s dead not only because we all grew tired of it but because YouTube productivity assassins (aka movie makers) simply ran out of different types of people to make fun of? You reverse it and switch it into shit people would NEVER say. Like nerds thinking comic books and graphic novels are the same.

It’s called Geek Love and it’s amazing. An online reality TV show, the series focuses on geeks who are looking for, well, love. More »
Sure you could buy an SSD or an iPad mini or a Samsung Galaxy S III but where’s the fun in that? Those gifts would be great and if they’re a self-respecting geek, they should get that themselves. These made up gag gifts by Joy of Tech though? Torturous comedic gold. More »
