Cross-wank!
I proudly present a wank that includes two topics close to my heart: Duran Duran and Nsync.
This is the message board for the official Duran Duran website. Tends to get mildly wanky - a favorite topic right now, for instance, is the age-old true fans vs. the fair weather fans who attended recent concerts only once the original line-up reunited.
But last night's Video Music Awards show has produced one of the funnier wanks in a long time. For those who didn't see it, Duran were suprised with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Unfortunately, the audio for the video tribute to Duran didn't work, and the awards were hurriedly and awkwardly rushed out. Nick, the keyboardist, quipped "I think we've been punk'd."
Add to it the facts that Kelly Osbourne and Avril Lavigne - both half Duran's age - were chosen to present Duran's award; that the Lifetime Achievement presentation was cut short because Duran were presenting the award for Best Dance Video, which went to Justin Timberlake; and last that Justin was included in a post-awards interview with Duran, and you have all the elements for wank aplenty. Durannies are simultaneously pleased and pissed:
Edit: Adding links as new wanktastic threads develop:
A friend's very funny two cents.
With no other recourse in sight, the fans turn on Justin. And keep going.
"Do you think Warren should have gotten a Moon Man too?" "Do you have to start this now?! Let a day go by without some drama!"
Older threads:
Duran were robbed.
A slap in the face.
LA station up in arms
DD get love at the MTV board.
How about we all be happy for them?
Duran are not appropriate for MTV anymore.
"Comments like this is the reason why I think we are in a losing battle to educate the younger music generation."
And
post awards coverage wank, including, I'll freely admit, a bit of my own. :->
As I mentioned, only mildly wanky, especially compared to the wank brewing within Nsync circles (e.g. "Justin didn't even thank Nsync in his speeches!") But then again, this one's just started, bless their little Durannie hearts.
Edit:I can't believe how many lurkers there are today. Fess up! It's all f_w'ers, isn't it?
