			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This gentleman in Lynnwood, Washington (a veritable incubator for criminal masterminds), regularly ducks into a hidden room behind a shelf in a comic book store (for reals) and emerges as spandex- and body-armor-clad &#8220;Phoenix Jones.&#8221;</p>
<p>Much as the protagonist in<em> Kick-Ass</em> did, he roams the streets of his city looking for evildoers to thwart.</p>

<p>And much as the protagonist in <em>Kick-Ass </em>did, he gets his ass kicked quite a bit:</p>
<blockquote><p>Phoenix said since he started his crime-fighting crusade nine months ago, he&#8217;s been stabbed, and had a gun pulled on him a few times, but received no serious injuries.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">This can only end badly. But, hey! Look! A cosplayer roaming around outside, with nary a nerd convention in sight!</p>

<p>And he&#8217;s just about as unnerving as you&#8217;d expect. Like, bordering on <em>serial killer from Silence of the Lambs who hangs out in his basement trying on other peoples&#8217; skin</em> unnerving.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="#HarryPotterFan"><img class="aligncenter" style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px;" title="Harry Potter Fan" src="http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z167/Great_WhiteSnark/Harry_Potter_fan.jpg" alt="Harry Potter Fan" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>

<p>Yikes.</p>
<p>To those of you who are going to be all, &#8220;Oh, stop picking on him, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with being an enthusiastic fan!&#8221; I have two things to say:</p>
<p>First, I find your naiveté adorable. Like a slow-witted panda bear behind the plexiglass at the zoo.</p>
<p>Second, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with enthusiasm, or fandom, or <em>super</em>fandom. However, there&#8217;s nothing at all healthy about over-the-top <em>obsession. </em>This is how crazy cat ladies with hummel collections and secret shrines to hapless Hollywood celebrities are made.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s almost like Kristen Bell wants to find out <em>exactly</em> how far she can stretch the bounds of goodwill of her fans.</p>
<p>Via <a href="http://thedailywh.at/post/948155552/yeasayer-music-video-of-the-day-madder-red" target="_blank">The Daily What</a>, who thinks the bounds lie somewhere between <em><a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/when_in_rome/" target="_blank">When in Rome</a></em> and cuddling with drooling mutant tumors. (KILL IT WITH FIRE!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You had me at &#8220;the only thing lower than erotic Furries is writers of erotic <em>Star Trek</em> fan fiction starring Furry characters.&#8221;</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t find much to fault in <a href="http://www.brunching.com/geekhierarchy.html" target="_blank">this chart by The Brunching Shuttlecocks</a> describing the social hierarchy of different types of geeks.  My only nit is that &#8220;comic book fans who only read X-Men spinoffs&#8221; are considered on the same level as &#8220;Trekkies who get married in Klingon garb.&#8221; Uh, no. A comic book fan would have to work <em>pretty hard</em> to earn that much pity.</p>
<p>What say you? See any discrepancies? And, no, your vote doesn&#8217;t count if you&#8217;re a Furry. Or a Klingon-garbed Trekkie.</p>
