You're watching the Watchmen... And taking it WAY too fucking seriously.
A nice little aperitif of crazy for you after the unfunny that was the last (and first, apparently) Watchmen wank. I think I can honestly guarantee a complete lack of srs bsns in this one, folks. Unless you're the OP, anyway...

First, some background: [info]watchdom is the LJ Watchmen community that leans more than a little heavily towards the crack. Serious stuff is not unknown, but the preference is definitely for the funny.

So into this crack-loving community comes [info]saviourface... with a badly-punctuated, hyperbolic, badly thought-out and apparently completely dead serious screed about how ALAN MOORE PREDICTED 9/11 OMG.

To the surprise of no-one but themselves, they were thoroughly (and entertainingly) mocked for their trouble.

(Please note their whinging in the comments. Also, the amused mod, [info]serenity_winner, and their tags. I lol'd.)

And thus there was flouncepost. In emo tiny font, too! Once again, there was some heavy mocking, with some great macros and .gifs for those who collect such things. There's also some cheerful speculation about whether or not this one'll be big enough for F_W to pick up on it, to which I was happy to oblige. They offered a pseuicide, after all!

(Disclaimer: I'm in there briefly as [info]bethan_b_bad with the posting of one macro. Or I will be shortly if I can find the bloody file.)

In the end the mod gets annoyed (there have been some truly inane posts recently) and closes the community to new posts for the moment in an attempt to hold off the inevitable clusterfuck while they grab some shut-eye.

PS- Can someone screencap in case of deletion, please? It seems a possibility, but I don't have the good programs or the time to do things the slow way.

I dunno. I'm inclined to believe that Watchmen started with a default value of wank.

I think this is the third Watchmen wank? There was one not too long ago about some ranty neocon movie reviewer, IIRC.

Hooray, Watchmen wank of the funny! Also the batshit! I knew we'd get the good stuff eventually.

Still, I confess to being vaguely disappointed that the batshit is garden-variety conspiracy theory and not "I R DATING DR. MANHATTYTAN ON ASTRAL PLANE" because really that would just make my day. "MOVIE R MISREPRESENTATION HE NOT REALLY BLUE ALSO DICK MUCH BIGGER."

Okay, clearly jet lag does bad things to my brain.

LOL

Also, this:

Dr. Manhattan! how in the graphic novel Dr. Manhattans power of teleportation is used to explode the squid and kill thousands! Doctors are know to cure, when you are sick you go to the doctor. Dr. Manhattan was used as a cure or solution to the problem.

Is truly deep and doubtlessly connected with real life happenings. Yup.

SEPTEMBER 11 The US Government attacking our own country killing thousands for some other unknown worthy excuse. It was the WORLD TRADE CENTER! the whole world was involved there is so many reasons I can think of why those towers were bombed, money, power, to hide something and for reasons a regular shmuck will never ever know.

Watchmen = The Wreck of the Titan. If The Wreck of the Titan ended with the titular ship being sucked out of the Atlantic ocean by Cthulhu, smashed on the shores of Nova Scotia and hurled into space.

Which is why James Cameron made Titanic. For its sequel potential.

World Trade Center can be shortened to WTC. Watchmen has the letters W, T, and C.

Bonus:

The sf_drama writeup is pretty fucking win.

The watchdom mod has figured out the secret ninja setting to stop saviourface from deleting his/her own post, a setting which every other mod on LJ would KILL to have.

saviourface has created his/her own Watchmen community, which doesn't have anything yet, but several people are apparently watching in hopes of lulz.
