Comic Con plea: for the love of Zod, please shower before you come!

Holy stench Batman!
New York Comic Con opened at the Jacob Javitts Center Thursday — and this year fed up organizers sent a strong message to its Comic Book Guy fans: for the love of Zod, please shower before you come!

In a message pasted on the event’s official website, Comic Con demands that nerdy attendees wash themselves and use deodorant after they emerge from their moms’ basements to attend the event.

Apparently this is such a problem Comic Con listed “shower” as item No. 3 on its event “survival” checklist.

There would be great synergy between Comic Con and a SP Conference. Apart from networking and generating business, they even share a key message:

"Please shower before you cum!"

Lol, what did you expect. These are nerds that hardly leave their house unless to buy the newest game or comic. These social outcasts probably wear the same Captain Kirk t-shirt day after day week after. Why waste money on stuff like deodorant and soap when you could save up and get Spock's autograph at the next event.

Having attended several of these things over the years I can say there is a small section who need these admonishment. It is, fortunatey, a small one, if a fragrant one.
With it becoming more mainstream the cons are making efforts to "mainstream" some of them.....

Thank God!

Lol. It cost me $50 to get Adam West's photo with my nephew (who happened to be wearing a Batman T-shirt at the time).

Stan Lee wouldn't stop to have his pic taken while he was rushing out the back of the building (but it was nearly empty - WTF just one or two more pics - yet he balked like an infantile nerd).
