Comic-con and 'nerd' culture

Interesting article by Wil Wheaton: Is Comic-Con Really Hurting Nerd Culture?

Short answer: no, unless you get stabbed in the eye with a pen.

  2. I read the Wil Wheaton article, and I thought it was pretty interesting.

    I'd heard about the guy getting stabbed in the eye with the pen, although I really don't know what it was all about! (comment reposted with better spelling! LOL!)

  3. No worries :) Yeah, generally Wil Wheaton's blog is pretty good. Also, apparently the eye-stabbing thing was a slash ABOVE the eye, which is bad, but not as sensationalist...it gives geeks a bad name, though, to be sure.
