Hey nerds, these people want to make a show about you. - General

[quote] Casting Call for LOUD & PROUD GEEKS!!! You are officially being summoned for an experimental documentary series that takes a deeper look at the lives and relationships of people who love fantasy, fiction, cosplay, comics, gaming and science. "FANDOM RISING" will take 8 strangers on a mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new lifestyles and relationships, to boldly go where no fanboy or fangirl has gone before. If you get all the references in "The Big Bang Theory," can quote the Original Trilogy, can spot a Cylon among us, wish you could've attended Hogwarts, Starfleet Academy, or Xavier's School for the Gifted, join the horde, and revere masters of science fiction and fantasy we want you! You may live on "an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of the universe," within a wrinkle in time, playing out a game of thrones and living within the romance of love with the undead, but you make the most out of it. Your life is filled with the exquisite, the extraordinary, the exceptional. . . whether you're ridiculed or respected for it, your time has come. Join the Fandom Rising. Apply now at [URL="http://www.fandomcasting.com"]www.fandomcasting.com[/URL] [/quote] Found this on craigslist. You need to apply and make an audition tape. I think they're basically gonna take some really awkward nerdy basement-dwellers and put 'em in the city with a bunch more of their kind and watch what happens. It says it comes from "the creators of the Jersey Shore" so you need to be willing to sell your soul and/or develop a major drinking problem.

the ad is good but the premise blows chunks

That's a really fucking pretty website. Also this will be them filming people sitting on their computers and awkwardly saying hi to the few girls that happen to walk by.

I have a feeling that this will further the stereotype of nerds and geeks. 20€ says they only cast the especially "nerdy" people. Still sounds interesting though.

no thanks

this is going to be so fucking awkward oh my god

"people who love fantasy, fiction, cosplay, comics, gaming and science." LOL U LEIK FANTASY/FICTION YOU R NERD :)

take it it's US exclusive then, fuck

Sending an audition tape for shits and giggles. Probably going to end up me putting my hair up with my glasses on in suspenders.

[QUOTE=Craptasket;33940043]What kind of faggot does all this[/QUOTE] I don't know but I think using that word like that makes you look super mean.

[QUOTE=Craptasket;33940043]What kind of faggot does all this[/QUOTE] I'm not sure if this is serious.

[QUOTE=Craptasket;33940043]What kind of faggot does all this[/QUOTE] REAL nerdes. Apparently we're not nerdy enough for them.

I'm not sure if this is going to be hilarious or terrible.

maybe if i apply and get accepted, i'll be able to walk around with a tin foil hat and not get funny looks from people oh man this is awesome doing this right now

this is going to fail horribly.

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;33940184]They're only going to take the worst and most profitable people there ( aka. really nerdy people )[/QUOTE] Or furries

I think they're going to end up getting people who pretend they're into Angry Birds and Star Trek because it's 'hip' to be nerdy right now. The people who've been pursuing actual 'nerdy' interests for a long time would probably not even be interested in this kind of thing unless it paid really well!

They probably will actually cast a token furry.

Can already see it now. There will be at least one furry, one "Gamer Girl", one who dresses in nothing but cosplay or anime shit, one nerd who reminds you of Leonard from BBT, one fat gamer, one weeaboo, one Star Wars geek and probably one "geek" who's the most "normal" of the group.

Since it's on Craigslist, everyone will go to a special house and get murdered.

Since when did liking fiction make you a nerd? Most fucking books, films and tv shows are god damn fiction.

Not even sports is safe.
