The nation's nerds woke up in a utopia this morning, one where everyone stays inside, sporting events are being canceled, and all social interaction is forbidden.
All types of nerds, from social introverts to hardcore PC gamers, welcomed the dawn of this new era, privately from their own homes.
"I have been waiting my whole life for this moment," said Ned Pendleton, 32 -- via text message, of course -- as he fired up League of Legends on his beefy gaming PC. "They told me to take up a sport and that the kids playing basketball and stuff were gonna be way more successful than us nerds who played Counter-Strike at LAN parties every weekend."
Always look on the bright side of life.

I'd rather deal with the occasional turd than having a sentient one walking sround town plotting genocide.
They're coming for you runaway! Better start up a meth habit so you can stay awake all night, cause that's when they come for you! Club to the head, black bag the fatty, toss in the trunk of a cadillac (need the space and power to haull off whales) and enroll you in fat nazi rehab camp.
Worse than death for you maggots, education wooooOooOooOoooo.

Just like China in the middle of the last century? Fekkin' commies are known for that kind of thing.

Comparing conservatives to chinese communist revolutionaries? Seems about right, they both devolved into fascist rule.
