Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds (www.infoworld.com)

Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

They aren't fucking nerds then. Nerds don't buy Funko Pops.

I can name 3 or 4 people who own walls of Funko pops and I can tell you they wouldn't know an IDE from MS Word. None of them went to college either.

They're posers.

If you say so... but some of the Funko collectors I know are definitely die-hard nerds. Having bad taste doesn't exclude you from nerddom.
