"Geek" culture is what we're about, and it's the new cool culture for this generation. Being a geek is all about having a passion for something—films, bands, technology, video games, going green—and that passion makes you totally kick ass! EPIC FU is all about stoking the flames of geek passion, and therefore improves your kick to ass ratio with every viewing. Created by Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf, EPIC FU is a new way of thinking about popular culture -- it's about conversation and interaction. Entertainment is a two-way street now. EPIC FU is a Webby Award Winner and a two-time nominee with a large and growing audience.
