1:51pm: The ABBA fandom is filled with middle aged men who should have stopped obsessing over ABBA 20 years ago, and teeny boppers who's seemingly sole purpose in life is to squee over Bjorn's chest hair. Over at ABBA Site the various memebers occasionally clash over who is the best ABBA fan, or what musically group is ripping off ABBA's 'genius'. The current hot topic is over Madonna's new single 'Hung Up' which samples part of ABBA's song 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A man after midnight)'.

abba-liciousfanatic makes a post saying: He/She/It doesn't think highly of Madonna for using a sample of Gimme x 3

rhythmotronic steps in and says: "Get real! The world is not turning around ABBA. Maybe it did a few decades ago, but not anymore. And no artist has ever done better than Madonna."

gparker tells the OP to read more topics on the subject of 'Hung Up', "THEN make an INFORMED comment." and carribean tells the OP to "Please just add your point at one of the countless other topics!" gparker goes on to inform caribbean that talking about ABBA is better than talking about Agnetha and Frida's hair, and caribbean agrees but states again that "why do we keep on talking about her single here over and over again in many many topics???!!!"

Anton226 enters the thread saying: "Basically, Madonna is a singer who isn’t very good at singing; therefore I don`t see the point in respecting her music.", and gparker snipes back that: "Yes Anton - but Madonna`s not sampling YOUR music so not many people would care that you don`t like her singing voice or respect her music right????" and Anton226 fires back that, "She’s only ripped Gimme Gimme Gimme off because she wants to make money and realises that Abba tunes are a far better money making proposition, than anything her or her producers could come up with by themselves."

Tiger-Soren wonders "What have some of you people been eating for dinner tonight? Sour grapes? Is it bitterness that Madonna has achieved twice as many UK Top 10 hits as ABBA?" followed carribean posting (once more) "Hung Up is catchy but do we have to discuss this here over and over again?? Too many Madonna topics..."

Small for now, but it was growing as I typed up the report!

*is excited got to use Agnetha/Frida icon*
9:18pm: The young ladies who are fans of Gyllenhaal and Ledger do not want to see them making out.
WorldViews is apparently a site for "Daily News" and "Christian Views."

Someone named Jared Wilson posts a long commentary about Brokeback Mountain, basically saying that he thinks American audiences won't like the movie because of "the 'yuck' factor" accompanying homosexuality.

Wank ensues. )
10:45pm: t-t-t-two wanks in one!
Randy of Something Positive fame recently introduced a surprise character into the regular SomPos lineup - Kestrel, a character originally from the now-ended Queen of Wands. Though SomPos and QoW crossed over several times in their shared past, apparently people were kind of surprised by this.

On the Queen of Wands LJ community, kalelian really doesn't like the idea.

Naturally, of course, people make both logical and illogical arguments agreeing and disagreeing, but then salem_wikkat makes a new post breaking out the WHAAAAMbulance of derision.

A few highlights so far...

If you don't like it, don't read it!

dragonbane invokes the Wikkan Rede

Small, but growing.

And there's bonus wank on the Something Positive LJ community, where both critic and whambulance driver crosspost like whoah!

Edit the First: Corrected HTML for first SomPos comm link. Also note that the QoW Whaaambulance post has been deleted, probably by Aeire (QoW creator and community maintainer) who is not at all thrilled about the whackos coming out of the woodwork threatening to sic Internet Lawyers on Randy for theft, and proceeds to encourage sycophantic posts of agreement put the smackdown on those getting up in arms about the whole thing.
