The Depravity of the Disney Star Wars Weekends Knows No Bounds
All right, this is it. This is the final straw. I sat idly by as Dartth Vader danced to “Thriller.” I was mildly perturbed when he busted a groove to “Can’t Touch This.” But this 4-minute video, showing all the shameless dancing that goes on at the Disney Star Wars weekends by all the members of the costumed Star Wars crowd, must not stand. I am calling a Topless Robot ban on all Star Wars weekend dancing video until… I don’t know. I drink myself to death and Village Voice Media hires some other nerd to write TR. Because I do not approve.
Coincidentally, I expect if I ever have the DTs, it’ll look exactly like this.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
