Dear Men’s Fitness, Let’s Make Fun of Bodybuilders [News]

Dear Men’s Fitness,

Well, you guys caused a bit of a stir when you published an article titled “NY Comic Con: Flabby Versions of Your Favorite Superheroes.” The article drew the attention of the Examiner, which went viral. Turns out the worst place to make fun of geeks is on the Internet. Several websites picked up the story and accused your magazine of being cruel and bullying. Your Facebook page has been flooded with complaints and demands for an apology.

Now, we’re not going to get all hypocritical and self-righteous. I think everyone snickers a little at the overweight guy in the Superman outfit. We even posted an article making fun of overweight cosplayers. I think the real problem is geeks feel safe at a Comic-Con, where it’s about the imagination and effort that goes into the costume, not so much what you look like. It doesn’t help that you published this article, Men’s Fitness. People are getting flashbacks to the muscular jock in high school, and the cosplayers are an easy stand-in for the nerds in high school.

But we’re not going to get mad. We’ll get even. You see, we can make fun of jocks, too. For example…

Can’t tell if working out or smuggling bowling balls…

Must…make…head…pop off!

 I think it’s time he started working on his lower half…

He worked out so hard that his brains are in his arms

Have a nice day,

The Geek Twins

Can you think of better captions for these photos? Do you agree that Men’s Fitness hit a low blow with their article? Or should all of us lighten up?
