Teeny-tiny-political wank
General americanization wank based in fandom-- music fandom.

So everyone's favorite Gay Communist Nazi band (Rammstein, for the blissfully ignorant) has a new single leaked out. It's called Amerika. Normally, I'd expect wank, and lots; a topical song, a new song, crazy fans, etc.

But the fandom takes it uncharacteristically sedately; they like or don't like it. Some arguments about whether it's pop. But all is not boring! Talk of globalization leads to a flag-groping moment of political zeal by Big Bad Gangster. The one or two responses are quite reasonable and quiet, but I have high hopes.

fandom_wank.

Two words: 'Fandom' and 'wank'.

1. Now, maybe this post is very tangentially fandom-related, as it's happening on a , but maybe the title 'Teeny-tiny-political wank' suggests

political_wank would be a better home?

2. And...wank? On my personal wank-assessing scale, one mildly ranty pro-American post, followed by the OP basically agreeing with it, is pretty wank-lite.

So I'm holding up an Olympic-themed 0.0 scorecard here.

	No, not seriously. It's a combination of the same questions they are asked during every interview based on the fact that people, at first glance, make this assumption about them when they don't know who they are. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)
