Nerd Alert!
The Root, which is the African-American Slate — founded by Slate by the way, making it really African-American — has a blogger by the name of Keith Josef Adkins. Nice enough guy, don’t get me wrong (I don’t know him). But here’s what he had to say in the opening paragraph of a blog he wrote about the movie Iron Man:
I have to admit two things. One, after a full week at the movies I finally saw the box office bang Iron Man. Two, besides Superman, Spiderman and Batman [and those radical mutants deemed The X-Men], Marvel Comics was as interesting to me as canned spinach.
Interesting. So you weren’t interested in Marvel Comics … MAYBE THAT’S BECAUSE YOU WERE READING DC COMICS!!! Superman and Batman? Who’s the can of spinach now you Comic book-a-dummy? Consult iFanboy next time you want to enter the ring with the big nerds. And yes, go Obama (perfunctory).

I am certainly a Nerd! What I left out of my opening statement was “… deemed The X-Men], superheroes, let alone Marvel Comics, was as interesting…
I appreciate the Nerd Alert and next I will certainly consult ifanboy.
