This is Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget, meets Mad Max, meets barbarian bikini chic and with a dose of cosplay con thrown in for good measure.
Yup! Lots of famous geeks in here; Grant Imahara (Mythbusters), Ashley Holliday (Hollywood Heights), Aisha Tyler (Archer,24) and even the mighty “Weird Al” Yankovic. The video was directed by Dave Yarovesky (Ghild, Geek & Gamer Girls) and the stunts were choreographed by Garrett Warren (Avatar, Transformers).
What do you think? Geek exploitation? Take a minute to consider that the name “Team Unicorn” is there to echo the idea that “like unicorns, geek girls aren’t supposed to exist”. I imagine Michele Boyd, Clare Grant, Milynn Sarley and Rileah Vanderbilt might not always take kindly to cries of “fake”.
I think any song, even one with autotuning in, that manages to include a Magic the Gathering reference in the first verse is worth a listen too.
Geek is a title that is earned, not by what shows you have been in, but by the lifestyle you lead. I can’t speak for the actresses you mentioned, but I know that beautiful geekettes do take to the screen. Mayim Bialik and Felicia Day are great examples. Mayim Bialik is a very attractive actress with degress in neuroscience, Hebrew and Jewish studies. She was also accepted to both Harvard AND Yale (but turned them both down). Felicia Day? Well, she’s just awesome and a true game chick.
