Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

11:12am: You're watching the Watchmen... And taking it WAY too fucking seriously.
A nice little aperitif of crazy for you after the unfunny that was the last (and first, apparently) Watchmen wank. I think I can honestly guarantee a complete lack of srs bsns in this one, folks. Unless you're the OP, anyway...

First, some background: watchdom is the LJ Watchmen community that leans more than a little heavily towards the crack. Serious stuff is not unknown, but the preference is definitely for the funny.

So into this crack-loving community comes saviourface... with a badly-punctuated, hyperbolic, badly thought-out and apparently completely dead serious screed about how ALAN MOORE PREDICTED 9/11 OMG.

To the surprise of no-one but themselves, they were thoroughly (and entertainingly) mocked for their trouble.

(Please note their whinging in the comments. Also, the amused mod, serenity_winner, and their tags. I lol'd.)

And thus there was flouncepost. In emo tiny font, too! Once again, there was some heavy mocking, with some great macros and .gifs for those who collect such things. There's also some cheerful speculation about whether or not this one'll be big enough for F_W to pick up on it, to which I was happy to oblige. They offered a pseuicide, after all!

(Disclaimer: I'm in there briefly as bethan_b_bad with the posting of one macro. Or I will be shortly if I can find the bloody file.)

In the end the mod gets annoyed (there have been some truly inane posts recently) and closes the community to new posts for the moment in an attempt to hold off the inevitable clusterfuck while they grab some shut-eye.

PS- Can someone screencap in case of deletion, please? It seems a possibility, but I don't have the good programs or the time to do things the slow way.

2:05pm: Ye Olde Time Travelling Urinal Wanke
Dear Author is a genre book review blog and this Romance Novel review is hilarious all on its own. (Completely NWS excerpts are posted as part of the review.)

But some commenters get a little tetchy and accuse the reviewer of OMG HATING THE AUTHOR! It's fairly polite as wanks go. Then there are some faily arguments about whether or not the author is using racial caricatures or not. (note: that wasn't the funny part.)

Enter Stevie who tells everyone they are interpreting it all from the wrong perspective and their arguments wouldn't hold up in court. No really. And don't miss hir witty zingers there are near misses on both Godwin's and Snacky's laws which are tongue in cheek.

And yet Stevie refuses to see anyone's point about "gentleman's bathrooms".
