REVENGE OF THE NERDS

Okay, this is kind of interesting. First up, we have the cover of Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise. From what I can tell, this artwork was used for a DVD edition, and is currently being used for the downloadable version of the movie. A decent Comedy Legs specimen.











Then here's the cover for a Revenge of the Nerds box set. An awful reversal, luring us in with the basic /\ leg format, but it's a dude, and he's got a wedgie. A merciless denial of our quest for sexy campus good times?















And then it gets kinda weird, and we start to see the real violence of the Revenge of the Nerds marketing team. They know what we want, but they're not going to give it to us (at least, not on the DVD box).
Previously, they pulled a bait-and-switch, substituting some dude's - some NERD's - legs for the sexy gams we'd come looking for. Now, they're only giving us the memory of those gams - a sort of gams ghost, and the leering smirk of a nerd humiliates us. He's taken those legs home, and he's keeping them.
