Who are the Sexiest Geeks of 2008?

 
A little over two decades ago, Kelly LeBrock would have been a shoe-in as the year's sexiest geek for her role as the computer-generated hottie in Weird Science (check out this NSFW trailer ). Today, probably not so much. Taking her place are 2008's sexiest geeks as voted by Wired.com readers , the results of which might surprise you. Taking the top spot is Philip DeFranco, a 23-year-old video blogger (we refuse to say 'vlogger') whose ' The Philip DeFranco Show ' boasts over 100 million views on YouTube. At number 7, kooky faux newsman Stephen Colbert checks in as the only other male to make the list.
