"Let me post a random comment that may or may not be meant offensively! That'll get me fans!"
Mainly politiwank, but I thought it deserved to be on F_W anyway, since it's the Sore Thumbs fandom. I can move it if you think I should.

Sore Thumbs is a fairly new political gaming comic. The creators of it, Chris Crosby and Owen Gieni, have a blog at the bottom of the Sore Thumbs front page, which they update every once in a while with links to anti-Bush articles and Sore Thumbs' reviews.

The problems began when they decided to allow comments.

On October 15, 2004, Chris Crosby posts a comment with the subject line "(Not that there's anything wrong with that)". The content of the post in its entirety:

"BUSH IS GAY."

Now, he's jokingly alluded to the president's sexual orientation before, but people feel that this has crossed the line. There is a rush of comments that say everything from "It's not nice to say such mean things about gays" to "This year, I'm proud NOT to vote " to "Bush is a Dick. And Kerry is a Pussy" to the simply put "No, he's not".

But at least it includes puppies and monkeys!
