General Petraeus Sucks at the Wii
I won’t criticize General Petraeus for indulging in a bit of Wii-waggling instead of, you know, fighting the war in Iraq, as I figure his job is stressful enough that he certainly deserves a break now and then (although Deadspin, who provided the picture, says he quadruple-bogeyed the hole! Yikes). But I’ll totally criticize his for playing Wii Sports‘ golf. C’mon, Petraeus! Golf sucks! Tennis and bowling are where it’s at!

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. 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.
