Injustice? I think so...

I remember the moment when I finally decided, once and for all, that the Academy Awards were a Total Sham. It was during the 2000 awards ceremony when Ridley Scott’s Gladiator won Best Picture over Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Scott’s half-baked three-hour paean of lame homoeroticism had me cringing in the theater, and when it toppled Ang Lee’s masterpiece – well, I damn near threw my television out the window in disgust.

I am now feeling similar pangs of loathing as I learn that my personal Muse of Inappropriate Objectification, Ms. Olivia Munn, didn’t make the Top Ten on Wired’s ‘Sexiest Geeks of 2008′. For shame, Wired readers. For SHAME. Wired’s pathetic compilation of so-called ‘Sexiest Geeks’ is a complete farce. I expected better, Wired. This is the kind of list I would expect to find in the pages of Maxim, not the presumed market-leader in cutting edge tech reporting. You digust me, Wired.

I will forthwith cancel my Wired subscribtion, accompanied by a terse letter to Wired’s Editor-In-Chief. Well, actually I don’t have a Wired subscription, so I’ll have to sign up for one and then cancel at the end of the first term. But cancelled it shall be (once I fulfill the Terms of Subscription)…and upon cancelling my subscription, I will orchestrate a massive PR campaign on Ms. Munn’s behalf to ensure her reinstatement as the #1 Sexiest Geek in Human History. Olivia, feel free to call me to discuss strategy. I posted my cell phone number in the shoutout section of your Myspace page.

Oh, and I’m not too happy with the new Dr. Who, either – but that’s not Wired’s fault.
