Found this on TIGSource, one of the most funniest videos I've seen in a while -
Long hair, skinny, glasses...yep, that's me.
I don't wear glasses...
Oh gasp... I can't no longer consider myself a developper...
I'm just going to sit in that corner and cry.
Checks beard.... ahh crud, crumbs.
Glasses... check...
Goatie.... check...
Basement... well, detached office.... check
Long hair... uh, no :/
Yeah I guess I still "look" the part. Mostly anyway.

I have no idea why people found this so funny
DtrQ totally fits the stereotype and is pissed because of that.
:D
I'm going to transform in to a werewolf now. We do that, right? Ok. Later!

Not really :)
damn I fit perfectly. But I clash compared to other devs so the statement is not really true anymore... we're all aging! Can't look like hippies forever. :)
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Its a funny stereotype, but only halfway true nowdays. I work with programmers who range from your typical jock look and bodybuilders (no kidding) to really super geeky anti-social types. Most are in the middle somewhere.
Glasses: Check
Goatie: Nope
Bedroom as "basement": Check
Doesn't care about the image: Nope
I don't know. I seem like yes/no dev. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
I am a game designer and not thin and don't wear specs.

I think these women were talking about Richard Stallman who is exactly what he is looking like a game developer...
