Just another example of the reach of geek culture as the President of the United States Barack Obama attempted to let his geek flag fly. Apparently, during a press conference Friday afternoon the President used the phrase “Jedi mind-meld” when speaking about federal spending cuts. He inadvertently made the ultimate nerd no-no as Jedi’s from Star Wars do mind tricks and Vulcans from Star Trek do mind-melds. In some geek circles, confusing Star Wars and Star Trek is equivalent to a mortal sin. I just find it all a bit amusing as the President tried to gain some geek cred but ended up with the dreaded epic fail. Click the link for the full story. http://tinyurl.com/a2ys648
