Denby explains that the two teenage boys who killed classmates, teachers, and then themselves at Columbine High School did not learn the lesson of teen movies by stating that, “The irony of the Littleton shootings is that Klebold and Harris, who were both proficient computer heads, seemed to have forgotten how the plot turns out. If they had held on for a few years they might have been working at a hip software company, or have started their own business, while the jocks who oppressed them would probably have wound up selling insurance or used cars.” Clearly, Denby makes a point by expressing that apparently, geeks tend to be successful in their careers while the jocks lead a completely different life based on failure after high school.
