Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

12:59am: Lighten Up, This is Project Runway!
Over at projectrunway seeeffdubb makes a post about how she thinks Michael Knight is teh hotness. She gives two reasons why she finds him attractive, one being that he is "the only viable straight guy on the show".

People react with anger, surprise, or with just being weird.

smokeinmybed is so flustered by seeeffdubb's post that he/she/it makes a post of their own.

Things just get dumber from there.

Edit: theinnerlight has had enough with everyone's asshattery and has left the fandomcommunity.

12:37pm: Liking dubs makes you xenophobic!
Over on the Atlus USA message boards, a user by the name of "Dilandau01" makes a post asking if the US version of Persona 3 will have the Japanese voices intact. First few replies are the video game standard of "it'd be nice, but it'd take up a lot of room, so...probably not," and "as long as the voices we do get are good, who cares"

( Until StillCrazy shows up. )

It's small, but very wanky. And only promises to grow. Much like Atlus' fandom in general.

Edit: Mustang taisa shows up to say

"For me, translation is just as bad as cesoring. I can't bear someone judging what I can or cannot see or someone interpreting stuff for me. It makes me feel like an idiot.
In my view, games, just like animes, are art. If you're interested in foreign art you should learn about it, and learn to understand it.
If you need someone or something to tell you what's going on, then you shouldn't be watching/playing this in the frist place. Learn to think by yourself frist.

I can undertand the opposite point of view, and maybe I'm too hardcore for the general public, so that's why i think there should be an alternative audio option. If the game takes a full DVD5, use a DVD9."

She's totally too punk rock for The Real World English.

4:23pm: YouTube + Mac Parody = Viral Wank
Apple came out with a line of TV ads poking fun at PCs and spawning a number of parodies on YouTube. One such Parody pokes fun at how the original ads features two white males. It introduces an African American man to represent the new black MacBook Pro who has a bigger "harddrive" and can "run faster too", comparing favorably to the other two "computers".

The Comments spiral quickly into wank, flames, "statistics" and claims of stalking. Since the parody is in the top ten videos most viewed for today, the wank is massive. I didn't get even half way through it all. But the replies fall into the following rough catergories:

1) LOL!

2) Stereotyping is terribly offensive, this video is setting us back decades as a society! Black men shouldn't ever be sterotyped as having bigger harddrives because it's demeaning. AKA: Humorless Pseudo-Intellectuals

3) Black People aren't that cool. Look at the Statistics! Subtext: Jealousy/Harddrive Envy.

4) Look! Look at the reverse racism! So OPPRESSED! Subtext: Jealousy/Harddrive Envy.

5) Why doesn't YouTube feature MEEEE? Aka: Whiny Egomania.


A Stupidity Gem After being told that he's humorless, LeboviciAB84 feels the need to defend himself:

"I'm actually very funny. I've got some hilarious jokes about Basil Boothroyd, although it would take us off-topic to run through them here. ... I should add: the last time I did an impression of my Uncle Allen, all were agreed that it was "very funny"."
