President Obama

President Obama Confuses Star Trek & Star Wars, is a Fake Geek Girl

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:34 pm, March 1st, 2013

We’ve previously confirmed the United States has the geekiest administration in history but earlier today we found out we might have been duped! President Barack Obama is not a “real” geek as we assumed but a horrifying Fake Geek Girl!! While speaking on his sequester plan, the President was asked why he can’t force Republicans and Democrats to cooperate by locking them all in a room together. He replied, “The fact that they don’t take it means that I should somehow do a Jedi Mind Meld with these folks and convince them to do what’s right.” Big mistake, Mr. President. But the White House was quick to respond with the above image tweeted from their official Twitter account and www.WH.gov/JediMindMeld smartly redirects to “What You Need To Know About The Sequester.”

Things We Saw Today: You Can Own King Robert’s Warhammer From Game of Thrones

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:00 pm, January 18th, 2013

An officially licensed prop created by Valyrian Steel, this warhammer replica is 44″ long, weighs 10 pounds, and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by George R.R. Martin. The word warhammer is not, as Nerd Approved points out, a euphemism, so take your Dr. Horrible jokes elsewhere. (Actually, no, feel free to leave that joke in the comments.)

The White House Is Sick Of Your Joke Petitions, Quadruples the Number of Signatures Required for an Official Response

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:00 am, January 16th, 2013

Attention, American public: The White House has seen your petitions about building a Death Star, investigating the feasibility of building the Enterprise, and giving each state an official Pokémon.

So We’re Not Getting A Death Star But We Can Confirm We Have The Geekiest Administration In History

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:54 pm, January 12th, 2013

We already knew President Barack Obama was a nerd but this…this solidifies his place in our intergalactic records. Remember when we reported on that petition someone started to get the United States government to fund the building of a Death Star ala Star Wars? We all had a good laugh, knew it wouldn’t happen, and assumed they wouldn’t even get a response. They did. While it may not be the one petitioners were hoping for, it’s probably the single best response to anything, ever.
