Sometimes stereotypes are based in reality.

Seems like an accurate portrayl to me. :uhhuh:

I'd have thought Boba Fett would be the fat one since nobody healthy would spend $700 on several pieces of plastic to wear one day a year

For $700 it better be true space-proof bountyhunter armour.

That is Mav.

700 bucks???

Forget it, I'm making my own Boba Fett costume. Out of cardboard.

That has to be a typo. I can't imagine that costume is at much higher quality than the other costumes.

Like if you had a boba fett costume you'd only wear it one day a year.

I'd wear that thing to church.

You were channeling Shannow just fine without quoting his avatar.

I put the rimshot in so that Mav knows I'm kidding. I got nothing against the guy and he knows it.

Oh noes, Dave made a joke at someone else's expense! Earth is doomed!

...or life goes on as normal.

Also: People analyze these kinds of ads too much. So there's only one fat guy, and he happens to be wearing the Star Trek stuff. I'm more offended at the fact that all I see are white guys, and no other race/sex (even though the majority of people who like this stuff are, in fact, white guys).

non-"supreme" $30 edition: printed on a plastic body suit, rather than having molded plastic and cloth.

They should have put the tubby guy in this costume too.

You know, for accuracy.

Do you see a Lando costume? Or a Mace costume? No? Then they are staying true to form.

Wouldn't a Mace costume just be a normal Jedi costume except with a purple lightsaber?

Nah, I got it. It was subtle, and took me many minutes of quiet contemplation, but I got it in the end. I just chose to talk about something else instead.

There's a Nero costume next to Fatty McFatasfuck. They're just saying Starfleet is full of "husky" individuals.

That is okay, slowy mcslowpoke.

I thought the fatsuit came with the costume, and it was supposed to be a William Shatner costume.

actually they are a bit incorrect, the stereotypical fat white male nerd is usually a fan of Star Wars too, yet all their SW costumes are skinny folk variety

*shrug* heh..

How can you be sure with the Fett costume, though?

For die-hard fans sure, but if we are talking overall fandom. I have met a lot more normal healthy people that like Star Wars compared to Star Trek. Honestly in person aside from 2-3 people the only Star Trek fans I know are ueber fucking nerds, where as everyone loves Star Wars*.




*Except for my Dad, he fucking hates Star Wars. Well he generally hates all like Sci-Fi and horror type things. I got my love of Sci-Fi and horror from my grandma on his side.

My dad's the opposite, he loves sci-fi. He adores it. Without my dad, I would never have been reading Isaac Assimov and Arthur C. Clarke when I was 10 years old.

He hates Star Wars too, thinks it's garbage sci-fi, lowest common denominator crap.

How's this for nerdy?

Star Wars isn't sci-fi. It's science-fantasy. Comparing it to Asimov and Clarke isn't a fair or accurate comparison. I think it sounds like some people mistake that difference for "lowest common denominator crap."

I prefer the term space-fantasy. It leaves out all chance that someone'll bitch about the (im)possibility of faster-than-light travel, time travel, and artificial gravity born of nothing.

I prefer the term "f--ked up by it's own creator."

You know.

If I was horribly rich.

and had absolutly NOTHING else to do with my money.

and had gone through several lobotomies.

and had recently funded a successful jetpack development research program.

I might by a boba fett costume.

It really is a far more accurate term. I've always felt that science fiction should explore the relationship between humanity and scientific advancements. That is not really the focus of star wars.

You're right. That's the term I meant to say.

I simply can't get my parents to understand sci-fi. Or fantasy literature. They place both of them roughly in the same cast as fairy tales for children.
