Meet the New Most Awful Nerds on Earth
I had a friend, who, for a very brief period of time, was simultaneously a Mormon and an Amway salesman. Yes, a Mormon Amway salesman. We’re not friends anymore, but I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of him, and my declaration he was the last person you’d ever want knocking on your door.

Juggalo Furries. People who are simultaneously into anthropomorphic animals and Insane Clown Posse. They exist, and some hateful soul has made this slideshow of Juggalo Furry fanart and cosplay pics, set to Insane Clown Posse’s butchery of “The Joker.” I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, but if this what humanity is capable of — any tiny portion of humanity — then it’s time for humanity to be wiped off the face of the earth. The total extinction of our species is such a small price to pay to prevent those people from drawing another breath.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
