Geek Apparel of the Week: Nerd Underwear
 |
?
Apparently, Target is about to start carrying licensed men’s underwear, which means one thing and one thing only — Underoos for grown-ups. While I’m too much of a boxer man to wear any myself, I glad they exist; apparently these are available in some stores now, so be sure to check your local Target. As for this specific pair of britches… well, it’s underwear featuring a robot that transforms into a gun. The possibilities are endless. And frankly, assuming if you’re with a forgiving nerd girl, wearing these is the only time in your entire life when you’ll be able to point to your junk, explain that you’re “more than meets the eye,” and still potentially get laid. Thanks to Adam Pawlus for the tip. (Via Seiberton)

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.
