The stupidity hurts....alot.....
Over at the official Tribeworld BB, the fans are getting ready to wish one of the actors from the show a happy birthday. The girl who runs his Official site, Danni, starts a birthday book for him online. This is where the wank starts.....over what age he actually is. It seems that Tribeworld has him listed as being born in 1980. He's actually born in 1976. Which Danni, and a few others, try to point out to the rest of the fans....who can't seem to grasp the concept that "OMG TW MADE A MISTAKE!". Its not like its the first time they fudged an actors DOB......

Anyways, its getting good as some user named Sandra tries to be big and mature in her attempt to force Danni to say she's wrong.....which she's not. Its small, but its amusing....

	As someone who still has the birthdates of all the boys she crushed on in high school memorized, this sort of thing would have driven me nuts had it happened back then in any of my fandoms. (Reply to this)

	Also, WTF is up with that "up" crap? Is this some weird messageboard mod code I know nothing about? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It's probably to bounce the thread back up to the top of the boards (topics are listed by date last updated/replied to). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yep. I've seen "bump" used the same way. And ow, the messages are so repetitive over such a small thing, I wonder what keeps people interested enough to post there. I thought maybe it was just that topic, so I checked around, but to no avail. Save the punctuation! Buy periods and commas today! (And don't forget to neuter your ellipses.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

So let me get this straight...Sandra claims Danni should check more than one website to confirm the birth year, gets pissy when Danni finally explodes at the sheer stupidity, pursues it for a couple posts, then tries to cover her ass and say that she knows Danni is the webmistress on her 'favorite site'?! Gah! If I had any clue what fandom this is I'd be embarrassed for the rest of the folks in it. Tis a tiny wank, but the stupidity burnsssss.

	And unfortunately, that burning sensation is rampant through a good portion of the fandom. Its as if they think that if they don't like an answer, ignoring it and insisting on another will make things all better.....or asking the same question 20 million times will get them the answer they want.....

	Are you trying to tell me it's possible an actor has been dishonest about his age?! dies of shock ;) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Are you saying the cast of Friends aren't twenty-somethings? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't know who to trust anymore! Except for all those nice teenagers on my WB dramas. They're really in high school, you know. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	tami_brown 2004-05-11 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	You see, its not the actors fudging their DOB's....its the production company who runs the official site doing it. Matt is just one in a long line of incorrect bio info on their site. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Not that it's related to the wank itself at all - but dear lord, why must these insane wacko people type in disturbingly huge pink font for no reason whatsoever? Are they compensating for some horrible childhood? If so, they deserve it. (Reply to this)
