What the nerds hath wrought….

In regards to the mayhem that is going on at the 09′ San Diego Comic Con, I’m … kind of stuck in the middle.

It seems to me that the original purpose of Comic Con was for comic book fans, nerds, geeks and dweebs alike to come together. Eventually it morphed from a small’ish’ convention with book publishers, sci-fi show stars and the occasional big name into a mongrel whore fest fit to be covered in People magazine.  I’d normally complain over things like Twilight being there when, to me, it doesn’t seem like it’s a part of geek culture, but just because it’s not a part of MY geek culture doesn’t mean that it doesn’t resonate with a person younger than myself. (side note, I really shouldn’t knock those books at all, it appeals to a wide audience and it’s not written in abbreviated txt speak so it can’t be all that bad)

What did stand out to me was a pic I saw on Yahoo of Rumer Willis, one of the girls from “The Hills” (or one of its equivalents) and they were promoting a movie about sororitygirls, (I didn’t stick around long enough to even get a gyst of what the movie was about) , it boggles my mind is to why that’s even being marketed there. The “SDCC” ,as I’ve seen it being dubbed, has really turned into another example of Hollywood  self aggrandizing itself to death.
