Disney wank!
First post, first wank, yadda yadda yadda...

This wank is more than a few years old, but it still runs through the ranks of Disney fandom today.

If there's one "BNF" (in quotation marks for reasons explained later) who's either shitted on or worshipped as a major deity in Disneyland fandom, it's Al Lutz. Lutz's sordid history with the fandom began on Usenet, which, as we all know, is home to wank of various sorts.

Lutz was a BNF in the online Disney fandom world. He ran the popular DIG (Disneyland Information Guide, spun off from his own Disneyland FAQ) and was one of the more informed members of the newsgroup alt.disney.disneyland. He seemed to be happy being a Disney fan and there was no wanking involved.

The beeeeeeg kerfuffle happened when Disneyland announced that they weren't going to build a "Westcot" (west coast version of Epcot in Orlando) and instead made plans for Disney's California Adventure. Lutz said "OMGWTF! U assholes anally raped me! U killed my childhood!!!! I hate Disneyland now!!!!!!111111oneone"

Lutz turned self-proclaimed Disney activist. He used his BNF powers to put pressure on Disney execs. He used alt.disney.disneyland as his own personal forum, telling people that the execs didn't know shit from shinola and pointing out how bad Disneyland has gotten since the new management stepped in, i.e. the same management who okayed California Adventure instead of Westcot. He used his position as a columnist for a popular Disney website ( MousePlanet) in order to spew his vitriol far and wide.

A search for "Al Lutz" on Google Groups brings up tons of wank for this guy. Here are just a few posts I found.

Poor Al Lutz. He be on the Prozac!

Al Lutz called a liar fucking idiot (Which is worse? Who cares! It's wank!}

Troll asks: Why you all hate Al Lutz?

The Lutz-o-Meter report! Witness the wank as complaining over a theme park is compared to post 9/11 criticism of the president. Er, what?"

Oooh, but that's not the end of Lutz. After a kerfuffle with the folks at MousePlanet, who weren't taking a liking to Lutz's whinging, he took his toys, stomped away, and began his own website, MiceAge, where he's free to share his diatribe without fear of angering others.

But he still angers others, constantly. Every time he posts a new article about how bad Disneyland has gotten, Disney forum participants on many bulletin boards fall over themselves complaining about Al's complaining. It's a big ol' circle of wank...kind of thing.
