Nerduo is a two man collaborative that explores the creation of internet and pop culture memes and the subversion of marketing fluff. Since 2007, Nerduo has launched sites like And I’m a PC and App For That that entertain visitors and allow them to submit their own contributions, as well as a launching The Battle, the first in a line of t-shirts that reapropriates ’80s pop culture and plants it firmly in the growing online nerd culture.Tumblr (3.0; @nerduo)http://nerduo.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm91tsNbeH1qhv2wyo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://nerduo.com/post/8174319204http://nerduo.com/post/8174319204Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:11:34 -0400essl<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llttiuNx591qzlfumo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Brobocop</strong></p> <p>Via <a href="http://sirmitchell.tumblr.com/post/5879862809">sirmitchell</a>.</p>http://nerduo.com/post/6918817760http://nerduo.com/post/6918817760Sat, 25 Jun 2011 19:53:09 -0400robocopessl<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R4WQdHNRvXA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Struzan At Work</strong></p> <p>Legendary poster artist Drew Struzan.</p>http://nerduo.com/post/6912860015http://nerduo.com/post/6912860015Sat, 25 Jun 2011 16:22:00 -0400Drew Struzanstruzanessl<iframe width="400" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Bcja8UBtXdk?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote></blockquote> <p><strong>Six Flags, New Orleans</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Six Flags New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
