Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

12:13am: Tom Cruise, crazy person.
Found this via my friends list. Tom Cruise was interviewed by someone called Matt Lauer. Matt Lauer asks him about his recent comments regarding psychiatric medicine and Brooke Shields. Cruise kinda loses it. The transcript of the interview can be found here. It's a little long so some snippets are under the cut.

The US National Mental Health Association is understandably not very happy about his claims and respond to the interview here.

ETA: Icon change - Smutalicious on lj recently created this icon in response to Cruise's comments.

11:33am: The Ones Who Wank Away From Omelas
Here's an ancient wank that's come back to haunt the board it was posted on.

Almost a year ago, a thread was posted on the Comic Book Rumbles forum asking a hypothetical question about Ursula LeGuin's short story, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. People weigh in their opinions, discuss what they'd do if they found themselves in the eponymous Omelas, and a thought-provoking discussion is had by all. Supposedly.

Even with several dissenting opinions, the debate remains fairly civil and philosophical, even with the entry into the discussion of Chuckg, veteran poster renowned for his abrasiveness and lack of tact. This state of affairs lasts only until the entry into the thread of the poster known as Sam.

Some people think that there are flaws in Sam's arguments. They aren't shy about pointing them out.

A note: from observations of past threads in this forum, long since deleted when the board crashed, unfortunately, Sam appears to have a rather...jaundiced view of humanity. The posters aren't shy about bringing that up, either.

Then wank explodes when The Real Nemo announces, "Sorry, the sheer amount of self-righteousness in this thread is making me sick..." And civility--especially from Chuckg--goes out the window. A few pages on, the debate between Chuckg and Sam starts to grow even more heated, climaxing in this magnificent tirade by Chuckg against Sam.

It's fortunate that good sense wins out and both Chuckg and Sam leave the thread before anything really bad breaks out, isn't it?

Unfortunately, this is just the prelude.

On the 16th of this month, Metaphysician starts a thread asking which of the great philosophical debates to come up on Comic Book Rumbles should never be mentioned again. Omelas, obviously is one of them.

And wank explodes.

4:39pm: I love Gackt, but he can sure wank with the best of them.

Unless this letter posted to LJ Dears is apocryphal, which I doubt it is, watch as Gackt simultaneously jumps on the drama llama and wanks hard enough to make all of Asia look Vanilla. ~_^

"Well, the negative fans (can we call these people fans?) read something about this in an article and right after that they send me mails about the whole thing acting as if they understand the whole situation...
Honestly, I can't care about these people's opinions.
I guess those people get their chance to masturbate by sending those mails."

As you do by writing this one, Gakuto. ~_^

"Well, I have an endless things of things I want to say and write
But what I can clearly say is that

If there are any mistakes that I made right now,
due to the actions or decisions I made
I will quit my music and leave the stage"

WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!1111 Someone call him a waaaahmbulance!

Cue 50+ comments to the above-linked entry at dears begging Gackt to not leave music, with everything from offers of marriage to suicide threats.

Gackt wank-it may not be explosive Intarweb warfare, but it's sure funny to watch.
