12:48pm: Sexy Losers-- now with less sexy and more losers
This week, a new Sexy Losers comic came out. (warning to those not familiar with the comic: it's not worksafe and contains disturbing/misogynistic themes)

Over on the artist's LJ, several people don't get the joke.

hardartist, the creator of the comic, and sysreq, the guest artist for this strip, decide to get wanky instead of explaining the joke, because obviously anyone who doesn't get it is a total moron (for the record, I have no clue what's supposed to be funny about the strip, and I usually think SL is hilarious, so I'm not just being prudish).

The best bit is here.

mirae: maybe the key to it all is that it really just isnt funny, and all the people who "got it" will laugh at anything drawn in a cartoon.

this is by far my best hypothesis to date.

It's a small wank, but seems to still be active, so we shall see what happens. (And if anyone actually does get the joke, enlighten me, please. I'm so confused. *weeps*)

4:39pm: Manning the mailing-list barricades.
I'm surprised the HP fandom hasn't gone blind yet.

elgoose is a mod at a popular Snape/Hermione mailing list known as WIKTT. Apparently, there have been many OT posts on the list lately. elgoose delivers smackdown.

mickyfanforever is SO NOT AMUSED OMG and posts the exchange in her journal.

elgoose doesn't care. Several times.

7:56pm: LOTRGossip wank
Anyone who reads the Yahoo LOTRGossip group knows that it is a prime source of wank, proving that the LOTR Fandom truly is the One Wank to Rule Them All. (har, har...)

It all starts when the list maintainer starts a new thread and inadvertently, a nasty flamewar:

( Why Kate [Bosworth] annoys me... )

There are a couple more posts agreeing with the listmom, but it's mild until "magnificent pagan goddess" explains her position a little further. The "It" she is referring to is Bosworth. ( Cue rant... )

The next few messages on the thread involve a discussion about how Kate Hudson is a better example of an all-American, cute blonde, without the annoyingness and "coattail riding" of Bosworth. It is pointed out that Hudson is the child of famous parents, and it goes back and forth, but mostly civilly, until...

( A Bosworth apologist shows up )

Before anyone asks, no I don't know what pictures she's talking about.


( Neither do MPG or LadyOsolone, and they're not exactly tactful about saying so... )

( And we're off to the races! )

( Oh, Azaelia, honey, don't you know the best thing to do is NOT feed the trolls? )

( 'Sue' tries to step in and head it off, but it's far too late for that. )
