This is my first posting of wank here so be gentle with that bullwhip, please!

<a href="http://www.duranduran.com/bboard/duranduran/index.asp "duranduran.com</a>contains some of the most... shall we say unusual and lively of the Duran fans known to man. That isn't necessarily a good thing. In fact, it's pretty scary at times. The upside to this is an almost constant amount of wankery that would make almost anyone go blind but still provides hours of amusement when the old insomnia fairy hits.

Today's <a href="http://www.duranduran.com/bboard/duranduran/68732_flat.html">Duranie Drama</a> stars a "Itsareflex" who <lj-cut text="Doesn't like John Taylor's Wife Gela"> <i>I am trying not to trash her,I suppose that John Taylor is in love with her and am trying to respect that,but do we really need all these pictures of her kissing him and sitting on his lap.It really ruins the fantasy and his publicist should know that. and I seriously advise her to re-think her "cousin it" hairstyle.I feel like his mother or something ,like no woman will ever be good enough for my boy!At least the other wives are generous enough to let their husbands have their moment in the spotlight.Gela watches him like a hawk! IDON'T LIKE IT AT ALL!!I'm sorry if I offended anyone here,I do respect his private life,but I just needed to get it off my chest! </i> </lj-cut>

Well, enter all the Duranies who instantly jump to Gela's defense and shut poor little Itsareflex down. Itsareflex (::gagging at name::) <lj-cut text="didn't like people liking the evil, mean, nasty wife"> <i>Oh God!! You are all so ADVANCED! Excuse me for wanting a little escapism here! It is ,after all SHOWBIZ!</i> </lj-cut>

So now we have shots being fired about how Itsa must be a real howler to be jealous of JT's wife, and then the mass photo postings of Duranie mugs to prove that THEY are not howling ugly either. And the occasional shot over the bow by Itsa at everyone to just add spice to the mix. My favorite part? <lj-cut text="The comparison of JT's wife to Yoko Ono."> <i>I guess she's just not pretty enough.
Yasmin is a supermodel,I like that.Nick dates heiresses and young models,seems appropriate for a rock star.I don't know,I guess she's just not as interesting as Amanda DeCadenet or Renee Simonson.I'm sure Gela is a lot less trouble,but so what when you have to look at that surgery face covered in fake hay,on you ALL the time!UGH!! Whatever. I knew this would p*i*s*s off many of you "holier than thou" types.I like the one who admits to her bitchiness,I guess I'm one too.I am also childish,in need of prozac and should be feared as a potential stalker.You people really take this stuff seriously don't you? I just think she is a little controlling. <b>Remember that the Beatles broke up because of the wives meddling.</b></I></lj-cut>

And the wank goes on.

So... Does this qualify as wanky enough?
