Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

4:42am: Good thing Disney now owns his ass!
So, on one of the many Orlando Bloom lj communities, a young lass opens up the hornet's nest with this post:

Hey people, Im confused. Is Orlando gay or not. Cause if he is i will be highly upset. Sorry, but im not a slashy kinda person.

Does she mean slash as in fiction? And that has what to do with his actual sexuality?

*confused too*

Anyway, watch the wank and the fun ensue!

OMG! He can't be GAY!!!!!!!!!My dreams of the white wedding, ruined!

5:49am: Rape Fic! Rape Fic! Rah Rah Rah!
This post came through on the mailing list for aff.net:

We have many stories in which men rape women. But why none in which women rape men?

I thought this might be sexism, but upon further reflection it goes beyond this.

The cause is lack of imagination.


Err, yeah. It couldn't possibly be due to the fact that many people aren't even aware that a woman CAN rape a man, let alone having any idea of how to portray it in fic?

So my question to the author of the post was, if you're jonesin' so badly for a fic in which a woman rapes a man, why don't you write one?

Because God knows, there's never enough rape fic to go around.

Alas, the ml archives aren't open to the public, just to list members, but it's an open membership list. Here it be.

12:05pm: Those wacky wanky Orli fans!
A simple fan letter erupts into a flamewar of massive proportions as those wacky Orli fans discuss hair length. It continues here.

Now there are even dueling polls! One by kissaki here, and another by, ermm... another party known for her insight and neutrality here.

Enjoy!

4:24pm: I like to introduce The Girls F1 Forum a place for girls to discuss Formula 1. Which is cool...until they start to talk about girlfriends

You have girls saying they're happy that one of them "didn't show the upper half of her body" and another one claiming to know which hair colour would be the best for another driver's girlfriend.

And then we have MsA's twin:i think cora needs to learn to give ralf some space. i've said it before and i'll say it again. ralf has sooo obviously got his race face on and the last thing he needs is some little girl running around stopping him from concentrating. shows you how little she understands her husband really.

And don't forget the older ones
A white wedding dress? But...but...she already has a SON!
CORA IS UGLY THIS WEEKEND versus I THINK CORA LOOKS OK THIS WEEKEND The capitals....

Unfortunately I couldn't find the thread in which they blamed Cora Schumacher for giving birth too early to her son...

Edit: These post have a bunch of big pics in them that take ages to load.

5:52pm: Wanky or just me?
From the MediaWest*Con website:

We hope members will respect our right to control the use of the MediaWest*Con name.  We have not authorized any online discussion groups/lists.  The MediaWest*Con name (or abbreviations) should not be used in the title of any such group/lists.

Well now, I suppose that means we should disband or rename this group right quick. What should we call ourselves then, Fen-Going-To-That-Con-In-Lansing-That-Cannot-Be-Named?
