I'm pretty thick-skinned on the matter, having dealt with this kind of attitude for more than 30 years, but frankly, I find it a) tiresome, b) unoriginal, and c) offensive. Whether or not that opinion of its offense translates to other geeks is entirely their lookout; I don't presume. I get very tired of the "Let's make fun of a social minority" type of humor, whether it's in advertising or sitcoms. Every time I think people have figured out that people are just people, they trot this shit out and no one says "boo" about it.
