12 year old girl sees picture of Admins, says "They look like a bunch of geeks!"
My 12 year old daughter was looking over my shoulder a minute ago. She has seen other DU fund raising drives, and has always enjoyed watching bush get punched in the nose, etc.

So she says to me, "Who are the Admins?"

I tell her it's the people who run/own the DU site.

"They look like a bunch of geeks," was her only comment.

I kinda have to agree with her, now that i think about it...

8. In a weird way, yes I think it might. But that wasn't the reason I posted it. It was because it
(what my daughter said) made me laugh.

2. What's the point of this thread? Why do people have to be mean-spirited?

4. I would have told the 12 year old "Who do you think you are all of a sudden?"
Not memorialize it where the subjects will certainly see it.

9. It wasn't said with the least bit of malice. Do you know many 12 year olds?

3. Yeah, but they're good geeks.
In fact, after all they've been through this primary, I think I'll make a donation right now. I can't wait to see them KO'd.

10. I was thinking the same thing.
Wasn't there like an electronics retail company, or maybe a lube service companie that had the heads of three goofy characters as its logo?

I'm reminded of it.
