The Money Shot: Geeky Dreamboats [NSFW-ish]

Yesterday we ran our first "Money Shot" post where you see the product we're talking about and then guess what eyecandy lies after the jump.

This book is titled Geeky Dreamboats: A Celebration. It looks like an issue of TigerBeat, but for people that like dorks. You will learn things like Michael Cera's sign and why the editors find these hunks so delish. I can't believe I just said that. Also, the Jonas Brothers are included in this book, which confuses me since I never thought they were geeks, just incredibly lame. Anyways, I wonder what money shots we have in store for you today. . .

One of my best friends/sophmore year roommate managed to "get" Halo 2 a few days before it came out. He proceeded to play it for two days straight without studying, sleeping, going out on Halloween, or showering. Intense. (I won't even get into the time he got Fables. . .)

Maybe if he had this soap he could've strategized his moves while in the shower:

Be Fantastic at Comic-Con

I never cared much for the Fantastic Four; I was always more of an X-Men guy. But until they start making X-Men Caps that reflect the qualities of the characters, these are going to have to do:

Fantastic Four baseball caps from New Era Caps!

The Mr. Fantastic hat is made from stretchy neoprene.
The back of the Invisible Woman cap is made from clear vinyl.
The Thing hat is debossed and made to resemble his body.
The Human Torch hat has "fiery" lining. (This one is kind of whack, but whatever).
