Nathan Fillion’s PSA For Nerds

I’m always skeptical of campaigns blatantly built for geeks, gamers and nerds. For one, the lines between those are too often blurred beyond recognition. Gamer ≠ Nerd and Geek ≠ Gamer and so forth. And with Comic-Con 2011 almost upon us, expect more, not less of this kind of blunder.

It’s part of a series of celebrity PSA’s produced for Break.com by Break’s in-house creative team. This one is a plea to end gamer affliction Swamp Ass (yup, it has a hashtag already: #endswampass).
