Geeks are sexy. Não há volta a dar. Toda a gente sabe disso. E não é de hoje. Geeks are sexy e ponto final.
Nos idos anos 70 do século passado também já se sabia mas infelizmente, a noção de sexy não era bem a mesma que existe hoje e como tal, deu origem a uma série de mal entendidos que ainda hoje fazem sentir os seus efeitos. Ray-Ban Wayfarer alguém? Mas disso poderemos falar numa outra ocasião. O tema hoje é Geeks are sexy. E é meu intuito deixar-vos aqui uma prova intemporal disso.
Sarah Brightman. Sabem quem é? Pois. É geek. Dúvidas? Repo! The Genetic Opera. Conhecem? “Ah e tal, mesmo assim, não me convences…”.
Com vocês, uma obra prima da geekice: I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper
