MythBusters Fans Wanky? MYTH CONFIRMED!
The Discovery Channel has been hyping up its forthcoming "ALL NEW" MythBusters episodes for quite some time, and the first [ETA: Whoops! My bad.] second new one was supposed to air last night. But ONOZ! Instead of the long-awaited "Viral Video" ep, those who tuned in got...a rebroadcast of the already rerun-to-death "Pirate Special." Sadface.

It turns out that about an hour and a half before the episode was to air, the mod on the MB fansite forum announced a delay in the next two scheduled new episodes; those ("Viral Video" and "Ninjas 2") will be postponed indefinitely and there will not be a new episode until Aug. 27. Comments start out pretty tame, with fans ass-kissing the mod and blaming the Olympics, but quickly escalate to ever-wankier heights.

In 34 (so far) wanktastic pages, we have conspiracy theories, entitlement wank, fans being told to GTFO if they're not angry enough.

ZOMG loyal fans are being deprived of their livelihoods! Won't someone think of the fans??
ZOMG God-modding!
ZOMG leave Adam and Jamie alone!
In Soviet Russia, forum triggers you!
User Bored_as_of_now sums it up nicely here: "As of now, the only reasons for this to be okay are aliens, cancer, or editing."
A Digg thread is started to wank about it some more!
There's even some trollery perpetrated, oddly enough, by a user called thetroll.
What with the God-modding and all, this could be deleted at any time. So...enjoy it while it's hot? Okay, lukewarm.

ETA2: We can has macro! Wank is now up to page 40! :o
