Normally I avoid discussing the whole Comic Con since it’s covered to death by the predominantly clueless media (SCLM) and Hollywood flaks promoting mediocre products. (Does the world really need yet another crappy show or film starring Rosario Dawson or based upon Joss Whedon droppings?) Then The Guardian had an amusing gallery of costumed attendees. I have to say #19 is the lamest. You’ll see the joke if you click it.
Despite my disinterest, I hope my friends who do tough it out are having a great time. I attended GenCon in the late Eighties through early Nineties when it was still in Milwaukee. Since the emphasis was D&D, it was quite the gathering of the socially retarded. The San Diego thing must be like GenCon times 100 with more women and marketing weasels trying to fake their knowledge of this subculture.
