11:28am: Band Wank
This one was handed to me on a silver platter by a friend of mine and despite it's size, it's still bloody amusing.

The whole thing can be found here:

But here are the highlights.

LastMessiah goes onto the Kill Radio forum on the band's site and ( trashes them with big shiny words. )

Fans of the group are upset and fire back. ( If you hate them, why are you here? )

And then it get's REALLY wanky. My two favorites so far are the bitchfight between revoltin and LastMessiah (where the both try to win by repeating the same thing over and over and thinking it'll change anyone's mind) over the financial situation of the band and its leader, and DerGerm's post about ( marshmallows and pogs. )

All in all, a delightful little wank.

UPDATE: As a link to fandom_wank was posted on the message board, LastMessiah felt the need to come over and comment on US. Enter more spooge.

11:59am: Meow! It's a Buffy book wank!

Hello wank fans... I’ve got a good one for you. I’m sure you’ve read a few of those axe-grinding customer reviews at Amazon.com that have little to do with the book in question, and everything to do with the customer’s personal agenda? Well, check out the “Spotlight Review” written by “Benjamin” from Seattle...

Joss Whedon: The Genius behind Buffy

This is more subtle and well-written than most of the wanks posted here... but what makes it particularly priceless is that the writer isn’t half as subtle or clever as he thinks he is. Ben has an axe to grind, all right, but it’s not reallly about the “dangers of deification.” It’s some classic sour-grapes rambling from a disgruntled ex-fan.

And why is Ben an ex-fan? There’s one clue in this review:

At one point she appears to equate Willow's lesbianism with her magic addiction, but Havens' writing is so unclear I honestly can't tell if she meant to make that point.

Uh-huh. But for more evidence we need to go to another of Ben’s reviews: This one is a ways down the page:

Seven Seasons of Buffy

It is badly marred, however, by the inclusion of a piece by Kevin Andrew Murphy. His essay digresses into vile, dubious and non-representative portraits of fans of actress Amber Benson, who played Tara on Buffy, as stalkers. It's based on wild speculation and deserves contempt for its intent to smear these fans.

ETA: So he's pre-emptively defending his fandom, when probably most Amazon visitors don't know what he's talking about. Yep.
