It is not a 60 Minutes news piece, and it shows it. It's a rather second rate documentary made by fools. About people who have no life, and take their interests into crazy territory that one should never go.

This is an unfortunate perpetuation of a stereotype, and it may be that such fans have a greater sense of wonder and imagination that sets them apart from rest in positive rather than arrested fashion. I'm looking forward to this documentary and the further exploration of geek culture.
