Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

10:25am: Call me... Ms Normally-I-Hate-RPS
From a mousie in wank_report:

Once upon a time there was a wacky LJ chick called brooklinegirl. She loved Garret Maggart (Blair from The Sentinel), and who can blame her? Being a wacky chick she thought up the Garretverse, the most off the wall and obviously fake Real Person World since the National Enquirer published that story about Elvis and the alien ass babies. The world turned, the number of laptops filled with Sprite increased slightly, there was much tongue-in-cheek hilarity and Funyun-bashing.

And then patk noticed:

I love how it's like the whole RPS is WRONG!!!/RPS is HOT!!! debates of the last couple of years have never happened, and this is all new. And how surprised she is, considering the fact that one episode of The Sentinel contains as much slash as the entire first season of Smallville.

ETA:

This all started when Starry Constellation Magazine interviewed Garett, BLG proceeded to lovingly mock, the interviewer did a trackback and was amused, but the RPS-wanker was not.

And alas, one of patk's friends, _suziq_ is so aghast at WOE GARETTVERSE that she won't play in the ficathon [ETA3: retrolocked!] that brooklinegirl is running with estrella30 that incidentally has Garretverse prompts...

ETA2: patk loses, under Godwin's Law. Thanks for playing!

ETA3 OMG MEAN High school girls SUCK! sez alyburns.

ETA4: And the crazy continues.

7:27pm: THEY MADE SAM AND FRODO LOOK **BLEEP**
TBS is running a fairly kneeslapping promo for their airing of the LOTR trilogy in which their homo is pastede on yey!

PheonixDav over on the Game Informer forums is personally offended and gets out his McCarthyism Day Stick in a post titled TBS Doesn't Get it, and Neither do You.

Highlights from the rant include:


A commercial came on last night that made me want to punch my TV. It was an ad for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which TBS will shortly be airing. The Lord of the Rings is a powerful story about strength and character, and you would think the ad would reflect that. However, the marketers at TBS apparently decided it would attract more viewers if they made Sam and Frodo look **BLEEP**, by showing nothing but Hobbits hugging and playing music about "secret lovers".

TBS, rather than representing the movie as it should be represented, decided to hop on the Brokeback Bandwagon. And I think it belittles the movie. What was once something grand becomes, in the eyes of the ignorant masses who watch TBS, hobbit porn.

Which brings me to my main point: the mainstream media and pop culture as a whole has an unhealthy obsession with deviant sexualities. THAT is the reason homosexual issues are so politically charged, and the reason homosexuality occupies such a confused, volatile position in our culture. We've all been conditioned to hunt for anything outside a narrowly defined hetero-normal behavioral spectrum and label it as something deviant.

Do not defend TBS. If you defend TBS, you're only proving my point and exacerbating the problem further.


Others chime in:


It's like how annoyed I was when people said Alexander The Great was **BLEEP**. He wasn't **BLEEP**, you ignorant piece of garabage.

I seem to think this cheapens Tolkien's masterpiece that is "The Lord of the Rings." In fact, this is cheapening Tolkien as well, since the majority of "The Lord of the RIngs" relates to his experience during WWI. (The dead marshes were an example of how water would fill up artillery craters and bodies would rise to the surface).

Remember when everybody kept saying Tom Cruise was **BLEEP**? He clearly isn't and yet the media interpreted deviancies in his behavior and a group of idiots latched onto it... But he's certainly not a homosexual. That was my point. Society is having hallucinations of homosexuality.


(I'd like to know the evidence on that last bit, myself.)

This goes on for 9 pages. The wankiest bit is probably the rant and the fact that the forum bleeps out "gay." It's like the forum got sent to ex-gay camp for the summer.

This wank report has been inspired by memii's post at fandom_lounge.

ETA: Here's a link to the ad on YouTube for those that may not be able to access TBS.com

9:55pm: Way to Give Plagiarists a Bad Name
This is really only wank-worthy because it's a follow-up to a very memorable wank and involves a very memorable wanker.

Recently, our beloved InuGrrrl was plagiarized on FanFiction.net.

Naturally, the fic in question was 'He Saw Red' (subsequently renamed, "He Saw Red: Respect the Alpha" after the wank broke out regarding how Inuyasha clearly wasn't a rapist, just an 'alpha male') or as the plagiarist re-titled it, 'The Alpha'.

Upon learning of the plagiarism, InuGrrrl promptly cried out to her fans who in turn have swarmed the plagiarist's review board. And while I do not suggest that anyone actually take the time to read all the flames, they are worth skimming if you need a good chuckle.

Although my personal favorite review thus far has got to be the one from ravenmoon456:
"great story, but one question, did inuyasha rape her?"
