The Self-Imposed Pariah
One of the newer looks in recent history’s geek chic catalogue is as follows: we get a sensitive, vulnerable hottie (á la Joseph Gordon Levitt in 500 Days of Summer) who’s a little too earnest and we’re supposed to believe his lot in life is entirely unfixable. In JGL’s case, we’re also supposed to believe that being really into music and cutesy, couple-y activities is just such a burden and that things are looking really bleak for him in the long-term dating game. Sorry, friend, but woe is not you. You are barely a dork, despite how alienated you feel from modernity. Besides, take a look at yourself. We’re pretty sure you’ll be fine.

Can’t Buy Me Love: Ronald, not Robert.
RE: bill gates – there’s a difference between a boy geniuse and a spoiled rich kid that buys, steals, extorts and litigates a substantial family fortune into a gigantic family fortune. wake up and smell the reality. by the way, this was a repulsive feature. started off ok, but just nauseating and depressing by the end.

What part of this “analysis” is anthropological? From someone with an above-average knowledge of the field of anthropology, please refrain from throwing that term around, especially when the “analysis” is this shitty.
