If a girl is a nerd, that's hot.

If a guy is a nerd, he's untouchable.

See, I don't read it as being sexist. I read it as being a joke/jab at the fact that that model must have taken WEEKS, maybe even MONTHS, to build--it's gotta have several THOUSAND pieces in it and it's nearly as tall as he is. It's poking fun and saying, 'Daaayum, have you done ANYTHING ELSE since January??' Aka, you have a lot of time on your hands and probably didn't spend it talking to potential mates.

That's actually how I read it too. Though the issue I summed up is still prevalent in our culture.

I would be inclined to say that was the case...

...except the exact same meme has been applied to other things like Yu Gi Oh players, Pokemon gamers, and so forth.

So no, it has nothing to do with the amount of time he put into it and everything to do with "You chose to spend time on a hobby that isn't athletic, therefore you're going to be an eternal virgin"

Eh, would be funnier if Bowser was Bowser.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I should know this one, but I can't place it, the last photo. Where is it from?

Actually, there is a medication not OK'd by the FDA that is available in Buenos Aires. 'Novemina' or closely approximating that name. Break off one quarter of that pill, and presto change-o, what hangover?  Not sure why it is not legal in the US, probably some pharmaceutical financial issue or something. Severe migraine sufferers swear by this medication.

Edit: yep, looked it up. "This has the potential to reduce profits for pharmaceutical companies, theoretically producing financial motivation for its discontinuation."
