Apparently there’s a werewolf gang in San Antonio’s high schools. Well, I say “gang,” but as one young werewolf (cub?) points out — and if you can’t stomach more than 30 seconds of the video to get to the quote, I can’t blame you — is when the girl says “We’re not a gang at all. Like, gangs are posers. They just want attention.” YES, THAT’S WHY WE WEAR FAKE TAILS AND MEET UNDER THE FULL MOON AND CALL OURSELVES WEREWOLVES. BECAUSE WE DON’T WANT ATTENTION. Sigh.

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.
