2:43am: IMDb wank. Hey, at least it's reliable.
The indie movie Saved! had a bit of IMDb wank on here back in August. It just came out on DVD and I'm not much for breaking new ground. (There's a few choice bits at Amazon, too [The message should not be that Christians need to accept sinful homosexual behavior but the message should be that Jesus Christ can change the homosexual.], but not much wank.) Anyway, between the fourteen "When is this coming out" and "What did you think"s, there's a bit of fun.

So, on the IMDb board for Saved!, pat-224, a self-proclaimed Christian, gives a thoughtful review that is made better just by having seen the movie. (You'd be surprised.) He concludes:

See the movie for yourselves people, if nothing else challenge yourselves in your beliefs and check yourself to see WHY you believe what you do. I do it as much as possible and as shocking as it may be, have never denounced my faith.

Enter Shoeihell. It's easier just to read the thread, but basically, s/he starts off sane, but keeps revisiting the thread and the sane...goes away. The OP hasn't responded yet, but other people are picking up the slack. The argument is basically "It doesn't say that in your religion." "The Bible says this." "Yeah, I don't believe in the Bible. What else you got?" and devolves into

So go ahead and think homosexuality is a sin if it turns your crank, because I think your faith is a travesty and a sham.

and

The Bible is a book of fairy tales and indeed, some are interesting and some lessons therein would seem to fit today.

Ahhh, respect for your opponent's beliefs. Gotta love it.

S/he also started up practically the same argument in a brand!new!thread!

2:49am: Ah, some more choice wank from that crazy little fandom we know as Harry Potter...
Over on Mugglenet.com, a news story about Mira Nair being offered the directors chair for Order of the Phoenix and having to think about it has spawned two SEPERATE wank streams.

First off, we have the group that are "OMG!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN SHE NOT
WANT TO DEVOTE HER LIFE TO HARRY POTTER?!?!?!!!!111!!" and wank about
how if she needs to think about it, they don't want her directing the movie.
( A few choice tidbits from the beginning of the 311 comments...... )


Then we get into the real meat of the wank here. It stems from the fact
that Mugglenet staffer, Emerson, used a rather witty comment from "The
Daily Show" to specify that Nair was India indian and not Native American
Indian.

From Emersons Post:Nair "weighing and wondering" whether to do OOTP movie
From a Straits Times interview with Indian (Gandhi, not Sitting Bull) filmmaker Mira Nair:
( It seems that the some of the fans get riled up, and call Emerson racist for using that remark, while others jump in telling people to calm down and get over it. )

( And then some bonus mind boggling from the department of 'Omg, you have got to be kidding me......'  )

And to think, these are just from the first page or so of comments....I got too scared to venture much further.

ETA:Edited to fix my really screwy formatting....

3:51pm: The Something Positive webcomic's livejournal community is a giant pool of wank. These people wank so much that they actually drove away the comic's artist, Randy. It's pretty frightening.

This particular instance begins with Ashley_y posting that Randy's comic that day was just like all the other comics he's ever drawn, and it's getting old.

And all hell breaks loose.

There's even a mini Shakespeare wank too.
