Being Geek Chic is the yammerings of a Midwestern nerd named Elizabeth Giorgi. My vision impairment is real, which is frustrating because I really would like to see a 3D movie.

How The Hunger Games is funding a small island
I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be regularly contributing to the girl geek blog, The Mary Sue!
Yesterday, it was the Wonder Woman Shoes DIY, but today’s story is pretty awesome too. It’s all about how the viral marketing behind The Hunger Games movie is single-handedly shelling hundreds of thousands of dollars to a small island government.
Here’s a blurb:
“Most people who have checked out The Hunger Games viral marketing site www.thecapitol.pn have probably registered in their mind that the “.pn” domain is meant to be a shortening of Panem, the country in which the books take place. However, do you know what the “.pn” domain is typically used for?”
Please go read the rest here.
