9:41am: So You Think You Can Wank?
Edit for clarification: So You Think You Can Dance is a Fox reality show. The American Idol of dance. Same producers, they even have their own incoherent brunette alcoholic serving as judge. It's one of the higher-rated summer shows, spawned versions in dozens of countries, and has a routinely sold-out road tour. It also has many fans who obsessively ship the dancers and accuse the producers of anything from manipulative editing to vote-rigging to personal vendettas against particular dancers, genres, and fat people. They wank about anything and everything, including the fact that they're wanking.

The players:

Lacey Schwimmer, S3 finalist and virgin sexpot with stinky hair extensions.
Benji Schwimmer, S2 winner who enjoys Mormonism, dying his hair, and taking his pants off.
Laurie Schwimmer, fierce mother bear of Lacey and Benji, aunt to Heidi (S2 finalist who has stayed out of this whole thing).
Hokuto Konishi, S3 contestant, Lacey's boyfriend.
Dominic Sandoval, S3 contestant, Hok's friend.
Lauren Gottleib, S2 assistant to show choreographer Tyce, pretend sufferer of multiple-identity disorder, and S3 contestant.

19 year olds on a tour bus. I'm sure that will go well. )

Nobody's suggested the obvious, which is that Lauren is clearly jealous that Lacey is dating an Asian man. And probably calls him "Misha-chan" in bed because isn't Misha a boy's nickname? (/tongue in cheek)
10:53am: Smell that sweet morning wank!
So over on the community [info]lkh_lashouts a flogging of LKH's blog entry is posted. Things start out happily until it is mentioned that LKH's fans compare her to Tolkien.

winterfox has extreme issues with Tolkien!

Why should elves be monogamous?

No one here is original anymore!

Is there a law about using PMS as an insult?

And this just made me laugh.
11:35am: Patricia Cornwall Upset by Amazon Reviews [Insert Your Anne Rice Joke Here]
Either the Bush administration has moved on to oppressing hack crime novelists, or Patricia Cornwell has lostj is continuing to lose? her marbles. You be the judge. From the news section on her website:

'We have reason to suspect that someone (or a group of someones) might be mobilizing people to attack me through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, etc., to hurt my sales and reputation.' )The call to arms has apparently been heard. The Amazon reviews for her latest book have been flooded with posts like this:

"This book is a good choice. Loved it...great forensic expertise! Life is complex and living life brings change. These negative reviews are absolute rubbish."

The original post currently doesn't show on Patricia Cornwall's site, so it may have been pulled on further reflection, but I've got screencaps: One, Two, Three.

I picked this up from the blog Dear Author, which engagingly riffs on Cornwell's post.
