It seems like MTV True Life is having a casting call for fellow nerds to be on a show called “I’m a Fan Boy/Girl.” I’m trying to think if these type of shows are good for us or bad. On the one hand, we’re getting featured on TV. On the other hand, by being featured on TV, the show might have a different agenda and put fanboys on a bad light.
In any case, here’s the 411 from MTV True Life:
“TRUE LIFE: I’M A FAN BOY
Are you obsessed with comic books, anime, fantasy, or manga? Do you like to dress up as your favorite character and attend conventions with other fans? Have you ever waited in line overnight for a book, movie, or videogame release? Do you have tattoos depicting your favorite brand or characters? Have you ever missed work, school, or other important events to engage in role-playing or cosplay? Are you misunderstood by your family or significant other because of it? Have you ever been told to “grow up” by someone important to you? If you’re an obsessed fanboy (or girl), MTV wants to hear from you.
If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28 and identify with any of the above, MTV wants to hear your story. Email us at fanboy@mtvn.com. Please be sure to include your name, location, phone number, and a recent photo.”
Anyway, can’t wait to see more stuff like the video below XD

The tentacle brothers should sign up for this show. Let MTV viewers know what a nerd is all about.

True Life is actually a very good documentary series that tackles important issues along with less important ones…..I’ve been watching it for years now.

I think the show is going to pick the creepy ones to air on the show and just make fanboys/fangirls look like freaks. I dont think the world is ready for the nerds to be concidered equal persons. This to me is just another show to give the siclicone people more reaons to think were weird.

This just aired on MTV yesterday, it was actually pretty good and done in a way not to make fun of the fanboys/girls. My review will follow soon. The dude who was obsessed with Power Rangers was the man.
