We’re not dead yet

 

Sorry for the relative lack of activity here as of late, folks. It’s been a busy summer for everyone and the New York Geeks are no exception. As always, you can e-mail us at thegeeks@nygeekcast.com if you have something you’d like to share or want us to cover.

We’re still here. Don’t panic.

Ridiculous toasters

 

Let’s say i gave you 70 bucks to spend on anything. A geek such as myself could spend it on a variety of things such as….DVDs, the new XBOX 360 Ghostbusters game, or you could spend it on something cooler….such as a blinged out swarovski studded toaster.

sparkle, sparkle...

sparkle, sparkle...

Lucky for you it’s on sale and reduced from 300 smackaroos. However before you make your choice, there’s also this frakkin’ toaster.

I”ve always wanted to say, “I eat cylons for breakfast!” and now I really can!

Eat this and starbuck will be all over you...maybe....not really.

Eat this and starbuck will be all over you...maybe....not really.

But then again, blinged out toast is what real ballers like 50 cent eat for breakfast. G-G-G-G-GEEK UNIT!

Manga Collector Convicted

 

Some of you may have heard of this already but i’m curious what you all think….

Should someone be convicted for posessing drawings of nude children?

That’s what happened to Christopher Handley who had amassed a collection of any manga he could get his hands on. That meant sometimes getting shipments with random manga inside and inside one of these japanese graphic novels their were drawings of nude children.

He now faces up to 15 years in prison possibly.

Here’s the full articled on wired.com.

The reason I choose an image of Astroboy is because he exemplifies a drawing that is basically a robot kid with his shirt off and in underwear. But no one freaks out about it. If you see the show…you realize he’s a robot kid and that there’s nothing coming close to anything perverse.

It still shows that japanese culture has less of a problem with nudity in general because you’d never see a child superhero with his shirt off…robot or not.

What do you think?

Bee attack on Union Square Gamestop!!!

 

You’ve heard me spew hot hot vitriol towards the giant money maker that is Gamestop, but even I would never wish this upon them.

A swarm of killer bees (and no I don’t mean the Wu-Tang Clan,) locked employees in the union square store for hours. Haha…I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing…maybe the bees were just excited about the new Pokemon strategy guide.

And yes….Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothin’ to Frak with.
