Omega Males Wanted!
« on: June 01, 2010, 05:40:12 AM »

Hello,

I'm a journalist for a leading UK newspaper and am currently seeking 'Omega Males' -  the kind of guys who have trouble being 'men'. You could be cursing yourself because you can't drive, wish that you were more 'masculine', or maybe you're university-educated-but-unemployed and have no job or career prospects to speak of.

Basically, we're looking for those fundamentally nice chaps who have now opted out of life, who maybe ten years ago would have been branded "a loser". Blokes who are about as far removed from Mad Men's Don Draper as it's possible to be.

So... it would be massively appreciated if you could please email me at: christhejournalist@yahoo.co.uk if you fit the following criteria:

* Living at home with your parents
* Have no girlfriend/partner and/or a shambolic love life
* Unhappy with your job (or lack of it)

You'll need to be photographed and interviewed for the newspaper, but you will be paid for your work.

Email me at: christhejournalist@yahoo.co.uk to find out more...

Really?  Really?

I seem to recall going down this road with another "journalist" who made the same sad assumptions about we who label ourselves as "Geek".  I don't have the time, energy, or inclination to go find that discussion thread for you, but I will tell you that you've missed the mark by as much as he had.

Living at home with my parents?  No.  I'm a home owner.
No girlfriend or love life in shambles?  No.  Well... define "shambles", please.
Unhappy with my job?  Couldn't be further from reality.

Maybe someone else will help you locate that other thread so that we don't have to rehash this tired subject based on inane stereotypes.

* Living at home with your parents: Yes. My mother is in a bad spot right now financially and health-wise and needs the extra help.

* Have no girlfriend/partner and/or a shambolic love life: Yes. I'm a train wreck, but not in the way you're implying.

* Unhappy with your job: No. At least I have one. Actually, I have two.

Unfortunately, I'm a girl, so I REALLY don't fit your criteria.

I cant' think of anyone here who fits your criteria actually. Go suck it.

1. Fuck you, I'm a homeowner.
2. Fuck you, I'm in a happy, committed relationship.
3. Fuck you, I love my job.
4. Fuck you for being such an ass using shitty stereotypes. Why don't you go over to the Black Power forum and ask them their opinions on fried chicken, watermelon and malt liquor?

I have to wait for the vile stuff. I'm at work right now. I'll shoot for safe, but annoying until I get home. Then he'll get pr0n spam and virus/malware ridden links.

Dude go to Ireland and scream "enslave the Irish" I fit none of those profiles and think that before you start using preconceptions to help you lead news paper (which is what exactly? Give us some details if your going to insult us) all I have left is that you probably don't fall into the stereotypical idea of a British person. White, bad teeth, loves tea, and wears a beaver on there head. Ringing any Big Bens. I know it is the bell not the tower too

I thought wearing beavers was a distinctly American mountain-man tradition. When did this hop the pond?

Fuck You - I bought my house, CASH.  And it's right next to the Cardinal's Stadium.
Fuck You - I am Happily Married with Two Children, one of which is 7 and probably smarter than you.  (And my wife is fucking hot!)
Fuck You - I am College Educated and Have a WELL Paying Job.

Where do you get off?  Seriously, do you know what an asshole you sound like coming here and posting a blanket statement like that?!  Why don't you do the world a favour and unplug your computer from the internet, wrap your arm in linen, douse it in gasoline, light it on fire, and go fist fuck yourself?!  Actually, why don't I track you down and turn your computer into something somewhere in between a Commodore 64 and a Government hunk of cheese you assclown.

Not at all.  Only the Uber Geeks can surf database driven websites with flash, java, and animations with a Commodore 64.   :-P

Maybe that has less to do with our geekiness and more to do with our "hot as fuck"ness.
