And does the wankage end there? No, my friends! The ( Mod gets involved! )

Now go and enjoy the landslide of splooge!

5:33pm: I've been waiting for Keenspot wank.
Keenspot is a webcomic company. They host both Keenspot and Keenspace, often referred to as 'Spot and 'Space respectively. Space is free to all, anyone can start up a webcomic there; if you become popular enough and pass some mystic test by the admins of Keenspot, you get 'Spotted - promoted. You get your own domain name (this is how you tell a comic has been 'Spotted) and some other goodies.

In return for the hosting, every 'Spot and 'Space comic must have a newsbox displayed on their index page; it advertises a different 'Spot or 'Space comic every day. The wank starts when one anonymous artist removes the newsbox advertising Friendly Hostility by Sandra Delete, a comic that's about two gay guys in a relationship; as I understand it, there's more to the comic, but it's hardly germane to the wank.

I say it starts there; almost immediately, it veers to a personal vendetta between the Crosby brothers and Scott Kurtz. (That's as much explanation as you get; everything else is explained in-thread, if you read far enough.)

( a v. v. short recap and a couple highlights )

( a Who's Who of the big names in that thread )

a long and somewhat rambly ( recap, including some of my favorite bits )

some additional links:

the original newsbox
Sandra Delete on the timeline of what she saw of the kerfluffle
Maritza Campos in snarkoleptics about said newsbox kerfluffle
a blog entry by websnark, and a retraction of same
a poll goes bing! for wankery

frankly, I think everyone involved loses. Everyone.

ETA 3/18: the main wank is bahleeted.

11:01pm: Whottawhottawhottawhotta!
T.H.E.M. is an organization that does anime reviews, among other things such as Reduced Anime. Their reviews, etc. tend to take a humorous bent.

At some point in time, someone posted this review of The Dagger of Kamui. The author of the review didn't like it too much, and thought it was boring. The review contains the following lines:

Plus, it doesn't help that just before he gets attacked, we get treated to this annoying whottawhottawhottawhottawhottawhotta sound, along with that bizarre 70's disco soundtrack (he's just staying alive, I guess).

However, someone doesn't agree with the reviewer's assesment that the movie was boring and shows up in the forums. Arguing that, among other things, the whottawhottawhotta sound is symbolic of Buddhism. Or the Ainu. Or hell if I know.
