Deal or No Deal Amps Up the Nerdiness

Posted at 11:01 AM Apr 11, 2008

I'm not sure how I missed hearing about this (well, besides my refusal to watch Deal or No Deal), but apparently there was a Marvel-themed Deal or No Deal on Wednesday night. Comic fan Josh Akuna won $189,000 and a chance to be dawn in Uncanny X-Men #500. The reason I'm posting this story, of course, is because the Deal models got decked out in Storm costumes, and far be it from me to deny you boys the site of eight ladies in nerd costumes. Given that the Deal girls will also be decked out in Slave Leia bikinis in a few weeks, it looks like Deal or No Deal is really trying to get the nerd viewers. What's next? DC superheroines? Video game girls? Cosplay? Please god, let it be cosplay. (Via Marvel)
