12:17am: And the Wank Goes Round And Round...
http://www.livejournal.com/~calvinandhobbes/392072.html?thread=2347912#t2347912

Long story short. OP sees one of those Calvin-kneeling-by-a-cross stickers and posts a very open-ended post to the Calvin and Hobbes LJ Community. Comments include plagiarism, misuse of images, questioning Bill Watterson's marketing sense, Christian versus anti-Christian wankery, and the First Amendment used to justify all sorts of asshatry. And there was wanking on all sides.. Yay, verily.

Steered toward me by a friend.

2:06am: Eclecti-wank
I'm surprised this hasn't been reported here yet, and the message archives ARE public.

Basically, the mailing list for Eclecticon (a gen/slash media con in Newark, NJ) has been a steaming pile of wank for the past 2 weeks or so as people began to wonder WTF was actually up with the con this year, was it happening at all, since there's been jackshit updated about it in, like, forever.

The fun starts around post #1811 here and just goes onward for at least 4 pages or so of posts, and counting.

I'm too lazy to quote much, but let's just say it covers all the bases from gen/slash fan clashes, the 2000 elections, hotel conditions, the MIA con-chair and onward and...upward? Or should that be downward?

(I shamefully admit to contributing one comment along the WTF lines, but didn't think it was quite enough to shift this over to i_wank...)
