Bravo reality wank that *doesn't* come from the Fab 5...
Showbiz Moms and Dads, Bravo's newest trainwreck reality show, is a favorite over at the Television Without Pity forums. The TWoP forums are modded with an iron hand by site creators Wing Chun, Glark, and Sars as well as individual show recappers**.

Wank appears on the horizon at the Showbiz Moms and Dads thread when of the moms, Tiffany Barron, shows up to defend her daughter, TeenBitch!Jordan. However, the splooge doesn't start flying until Jordan herself shows up to tell everyone to "GROW UP" and ph34r her!!1!OMG!!1! Glark snarks on her, but that's not even the best part.

For a board that doesn't allow personal flaming of individual posters, I'd say this comes pretty damn close to being over the line:

First to TCB (BrattyJordan): Darlin', if you are truly not the 50 year old, chainsmoking, whiskey drinking, trash-talking harridan trapped in the body of a 14 year old adolescent girl that you are so expertly portrayed as being by this show's production team, then you need to find the best attorney you can and sue the pants off of both Bravo (deep pockets) and the producers. Like as not, you would lose such a lawsuit but, maybe, you'll get lucky and they'll settle, allowing both you and your sister, Cinderella, enough money to go to college or, at least, cosmetology school. I say this because there is no way in hell - outside of a snuff film in TJ - that you'll ever get anyone to hire you for any kind of role after seeing this show. Now, if you are being portrayed acurately - and I think this likely - perhaps you need to find yourself a good exorcist because, honey, you got the devil in you.


I don't know which I like can't look away from more, the forums or the show.


**Several of the TWoP mods are world-champion wankers themselves, but that's a post for another time.

The site admins publicly flamed a 14 year old girl?

TWoP's really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days, eh?

It wasn't that Glark flamed her, he just attached that cute graphic to her post and then banned her. He said nothing to the guy who made the snuff film remark, but he banned Jordan.

Yeah.

Thank you from the bottom of my bitter l'il heart for Panfandom, which I really need to spend more time at.

I don't understand their reasons for banning people sometimes. Some people who get banned deserve it, obviously, but there's other times when it's like they ban people to teach others a lesson. Sorta like cops looking for speeders to meet their quota or something. I haven't really seen this on TWoP as much as FT, but then, the threads I go into on TWoP (like the "7th Heaven" one, which is pretty much pure snark and nothing more, yay!) tend to have little, if any, wank.

Suggesting to a 14 year old that the only thing she'll ever make is a snuff film.

Yeeeeeaaah. That needs a good ol' thwap.

Granted, I've never seen the show. *shrug* It looks far too horrifying.

Wow, I really haven't been over there in a while, have I? I didn't even know that show existed, much less that they recap it.

They don't recap it, they just have a thread on the "Other TV Talk" forum to talk about it.

I was watching Bend It Like Beckham the other day, and I swear to God, JRM is de-aging. He looks like he's about 20 years old in that movie. Maybe it's just the smiling.

Yes, and now the Nutter kid is getting crap for not using capital letters as well. I don't know why these people even bother showing up when they are getting trashed so bad. They aren't going to change anyone's minds-they are just going to cause more wank. Well, more fun for us.

Wank with little kids isn't fun or funny, it's just sad. Especially when the other side of the wank is, like, 43 year olds.

Oh my. I just started watching this train wreck of a show and my word, just like the Living Dolls HBO special with Swan, I am addicted. Got nothing to contribute to the wank, I'm afraid.

That show horrifies and mesmerizes me everytime it's on HBO. Did you know that Swan's mom died of a massive heart attack and her brother that was virtually ignored is in (*shock*) jail?

Swan is out of pageants now, what with her crazy mom being dead.

Yeah, I read in the TWOP thread that she had died. Didn't know about the elder bro being in jail though wasn't he in juvie or something while they were filming?

I gave up on TWoP a long long time ago.

It doesn't take much skill to do a recap or to write snarky comments about an episode. Really reviewing one takes a lot more, and I've never seen any evidence of that on the TWoP site.

Boring.

In his defense, Couch Baron is a pretty laid-back guy who wrote some hilarious Oz recaps and is scorchingly hot in person. But I agree that the banning "policy" sucks the bag. I know people who did absolutely nothing* bannable who still got banned, and never got an explanation for it.

*Seriously. I've done more bannable shit than these people, and my account still works. Mods work in mysterious ways.

My own personal TWoP horror story: After being there for two years without so much as a single warning from any other mod ever, Shack banned me a year ago for politely asking someone on the AI forums to stop flaming and name-calling me for being a Clay Aiken fan. Seriously, it was "I'd really prefer to have this conversation without you saying I'm moronic and brainwashed for having different opinions." I got banned and flamed by Shack, the other person's flame was edited out, and yet that poster is still there, from what I hear. By that point, the climate whole site had gotten so bitter and unpleasant that I was posting a handful of posts per month, so it was no big loss, but still, if that doesn't show how NOT critical and how NOT open a forum they are,despite their best self-congratulation, I don't know what will.

But people have been banned for far less. My friend Keira, who is [info]bigboobedcanuck on LJ, was actually banned by Sars for starting a post on the QAF thread with "Um." She didn't know this was a rule on the site - it's buried in their FAQ somewhere - and tried to apologize, but to no avail.

Then of course there's the horror story of Fox1013, who wrote for the site at one point, and posted for 4 years and was their top poster (as was I at the time I was banned) and then got banned without a response or explanation or anything for posting on another message board that was talking smack about TWoP. She herself wasn't; she was just *there*.

They've actually banned all their top posters at one point or another. Me, Brooding_Soul, Fox1013, g_girl, Cosmorrific, etc. It's why they no longer have their "Top 10 posters" link any more. They took it down, once they realized that five of the top 10 were banned, two hadn't posted in over a year, and the other 3 were Glark, Sars and Wing Chun. Heh.

Say, is it time for their bi-yearly "OMG we're too poor to keep the site open so please buy our crappy merchandise and donate and click and make us money before we close it down ANY MINUTE NOW!!1!!1!" drive yet? =) I lived through at least six of those. No wonder they need to keep banning their site regulars. Those kinds of campaigns start to wear thin if you're not a total sucker n00b.

I agree that what they did to Fox1013 was a crying shame. She wasn't even in favor of whatever it was the Meta people were planning, but because she was a board admin, she was guilty by association. Whatever.

Cosmorrific

*blinkie*

I don't think I got banned. My accounts at FT and Hissyfit got accidentally deleted when they changed forum formats, but that's about it. Did this happen while I was out of town or something?
