7:18am: Are clowns a fandom?
Clownz dot com is a light-hearted website for people who dislike clowns. It includes such things as news articles about the lynching of a Ronald McDonald statue, a list of movies with scary clowns in them, etcetera. There's also a page devoted to their hilarious hate mail.

Item #1 is a letter from a fellow who claims the website is 'a complete display of hatred toward the art of clowning' and wants the site owner to 'remove all detrimental and/or destructive graphics and materials from your page'. There is a vague threat of internet lawyers.

Item #2 really does feature internet lawyers... specifially, internet lawyers representing BOZO (always in all-caps) the clown, threatening to sue the site owner for using an image of BOZO. Fair enough. What makes me laugh is that somebody at the company has apparently taken the proactive step of not only copyrighting BOZO... but copyrighting the idea of putting his face behind the international prohibition symbol. I kid you not.

Amusing stuff.

4:21pm: Classic Film + Classic "I'm leaving this community!" = Wankiness!
Classic_film maybe hasn't been the funnest place on the web, lately. Once in awhile there'll be an intelligent disscussion, but a lot of posts lately have consisted of "OMG! Clark Gable is teh hot!!!!111"

Garbomonroe takes issue with this, but decides to say it in a way that's a little wanky:

( Her original post )

The post gets deleted, as garbomonroe isn't a mod and complaints are supposed to be brought up to the mods, not posted.

That leads to this post.

( Transcription in case it gets deleted too )

It doesn't get that much wankier, unfortunatley. A splinter group is made (called "The Non-Frivilous Classic Film Community"... oh jeez), some people agree, others agree but think that her personal remarks about garlandswooner were out of line, blah blah blah. Should all die out pretty quickly, unless garlandswooner shows up. Until then, I marvel at the fandom laws that were broken in this little post.

Edit: Minor grammar gaffe.
Edit 2: Oooh! Baleeted. And there goes garlandswooner.
