You guys are MEAN!
Supernatural Media is a site that posts previously unseen stills and promotional shots for the TV show Supernatural. This morning, its front page made the following announcement:

Let's play a game! Find something strange on the site then click on it and admire the first preview from the season 3 promotion pictures.

Cue general fangirl irritation.

Which leads to a shiny new tantrum announcement!

You want unseen pictures but you don't want to visit SPNMEDIA because it's horrible site. You are also not ready to play a game because it's a pathetic plea for attention. Well, then don't visit the site and don't play the game.

You do realize that the website has been created for the fandom? It's an immense effort to get all the pictures and to keep the site up-to-date. But why should you care, it's your right to get all the pictures immediately. Forcing you to find a link in a description is an incredible crime.

Maybe we should stop running the website, stop releasing unseen high quality pictures and stop torturing the fandom. This is a non-profit website. The only thing we earn is a hosting bill and ungrateful fans. Okay, there are some who say from time to time thank you and that's great. So can't you just be pleased and stop complaining without any reason?


Shut up, mean fangirls. You suck.

While there might be reasonable arguments for taking this sort of carrot/stick approach, this isn't a very good way to go about it.

If they're so annoyed by the huge bill from all the people visiting the website, why are they trying to get people to spend MORE time on the website and its pages? Won't that make the bill even bigger?

Wow... seemed to me like SPN Media had their heart in the right place, but kinda screwed up. Big deal.

Jeez, everyone is acting like babies.

But if it's so annoying, why do people go on the site? Couldn't they just wait until the pic is released for real? It's only one pic of Jensen, right? (Wow, I just answered my own question, didn't I.)

I find it sort of creepy that they seem to be monitoring SPN fandom journals to judge reactions. Also "complaining without any reason?" Are they new?

...actually I can kinda understand their point. Since they do have some great pics that aren't tagged all to hell because apparently if you cap it, you own it. Or something.

I wonder if someone was directly hotlinking the pics. The giant sized ones. The bitching fans were funny, though. Jensen: a God given right. According to these people anyway.

Didn't SPNMEDIA flounce off in a huff once before? And disappear? Or am I remembering another overinvested SPN fansite?

I don't get some people. They get pissed off at jokes (April Fools Day) and they get pissed off at games (this).

How exactly do they have fun again? Do they need to be drunk/high 24/7 to enjoy life?

Unfortunately, the people who think there are no hidden pictures are probably right. The guy who runs this site is a nutjob.

*facepalm* I found it in about 10 minutes. But then I have a habit of searching through pages for hidden links, so I guess I'm just weird. Just takes a general knowledge of searching through html code...

However, a little ago, they then posted a notice that there was a second hidden picture. While I was looking for that one, I started getting '403 forbidden' notices, and then the whole site went 'forbidden.'

Fangirls made it crash. XD

Okay, let me see if I have this straight. SPN fandom has some rabid fans who flip out over a supposed game that prevents them from getting to the pretty pictures instantly. Hyperbole ensues. The site owner is an attention seeking nut who may be screwing with the unstable fans by not having posted the pictures after all. Most everybody involved whines a lot and seems to have some form of special snowflake syndrome with a side of entitlement. There's also repeated flouncing and we have a mouse who has missed the point of fandom wank.

It's almost perfect fandom wank soup, but I think it needs more sockpuppets and a dash of nanny.

SPN Media? I think you've taken the teasing too far. I'd be careful you don't alienate fandom.

Give us our Jensen Ackles pictures now or we will stop hounding you for our Jensen Ackles pictures forever! Muhahahahahahaha!!

Is it just me, or did Supernatural Media actually follow through with their threat to flounce? The website link appears to be broken.

Whiner. Hell, I don't think I had more than a general annoyance at it.

I do think it's ironic as hell that I commented that it'd shut down their site, and it did. *snerk*
