Teensy Veronica Mars/Smallville wank
MarsInvestigations.net interviewed Alison MacInnis, an actress who had one line in Veronica Mars's second episode, a few months ago.

Alison is a bit of jokester and answers the question:

Do you mind if I call you Alison? No? How about Ms. MacInnis? Allison Mack? AliMac? Madison? "Veronica"?

with:
[sputtering] What? What?? Allison Mack? Do I look anything like that midget on Smallville? Pfff!!! Heheh, actually, she's a cutie, but the nifty name belongs to her. AliMac? Sure, fine, kind of makes me sound like a beefy trucker in a mesh hat. [spitting on ground and rearranging pants], Veronica? Nah...Buffy? Maybe...

The interview is found by veaglarwen, who takes offense at the midget comment:

Nice.

Real professional.

I have half a mind to write in to that site and let them have an earful or two. I don't care if "AliMac" was joking or not. Her statement was incredibly RUDE. i won't write in though, but you all are more than welcomed to.

The balls.

Oh, and here's some interesting statistics from IMDB regarding the two girls...

 

Yeah, wtf ever.


The interviewer himself chimes in:

Oh, give me a fucking break.

I was the one who made sure we included Allison Mack in that question, because I, too, am a big fan, and it was too amusing that their names were so similar, especially given the early Veronica/Chloe comparisons.

If you couldn't tell, the entire interview had a very jokey tone to it, and she was obviously having a lot of fun with it. As far as I can tell, you're getting upset over the fact that she playfully called her a "midget," right before calling her a "cutie" and lauding her "nifty name." You do realize that this is the same interview in which she claims Queen Bansheera took all the best cookies from the craft service. I had a good laugh, and I bet Allison would too. So should you.


A mice tells the interviewer that:

That site is pretty damn ugly.

Prompting this little gem:

dearladydisdain

Not as ugly as your mom.

I mean, come on, dude.

My mom's a dead mouldering corpse. Thanks for bringing up bad memories.


Another MI.net mod chimes in and a discussion about heights, midgets, Willy Wonka and if Martin Short is short or a midget begins.

I would love to see Allison Mack's reaction to this. She's likely to laugh her arse off and I do so love bringing joy to others' lives.

Also loving veaglarwen's incredible ability to spell "Short" wrong. Makes me a little sad for her.

Then, of course, there's this:

In my Allison Mack interview, I could have had her joke about anyone and everyone. Would it have been funny? Probably to some of us. Would it have been tactful? If it were a joke about Tom Welling studdering, or Michael having a practical joke played on him--etc...that would have been funny.

Because joking about height, when an actress knows she's short and, undoubtedly, is beyond caring is the same as mocking speech impediments.

Also, Allison Mack? Over three inches taller than me. To me, she's tall. Now, see, Kristen Bell is short.

Holy shit, they did NOT just resort to "my mom's dead". Don't they realise that the correct rebuttal would've been "I was raped twenty times"? People need to keep up with their internet retorts.

I love your icon.

A couple points, simply because I am anal: it was actually the third episode Alison appeared in, and while I am identified as "The interviewer," we as a team submitted questions and she answered via e-mail.

Having appeared on Fandom Wank, I am now totally awesome.

Unprofessional? Has she even seen the site or the work that went into it? I am in no way affiliated with it but for some reason that is what pissed me off the most. I have never seen such a well thought out fan site before. What ever, sounds like someone needs to get laid.

Also speaking as someone who is 4 11, considerably shorter than AM, I really doubt she'd give a shit.

Sounds to me like, "I'm SO MAD. But I'm not going to say anything personally. Tell you what, my posse: y'all do it for me!"

And [info]veaglarwen's own lack of testicular fortitude is illustrated nicely. All bark, no bite.

There's no need to bust the PC meter on this one. I highly doubt Alison meant to insult either Allison or little people--or truckers, for that matter. It seems like there are so many other momentous things going on in the world to get upset about; to pick a throwaway jokey moment like this to angst over is a little silly.

I love how "your mum sucks"-comment so often brings up the "my mum is dead, bitch"-comment. Like in some unreported, tiny wank I saw on a boards I go to, some girl got called fat and she immediately replied with "Thanks a lot, I'm bulimic, you should feel bad for saying that to me!".

This would be amusing except for the fact that it actually is relatively civilized from all sides (minus the mouse), they all have valid arguments (such as the fact that being irritated by an interview and griping about it in your journal is a standard LJ behavior, and performing an interview that is tongue in cheek is perfectly acceptible), and it's a month old.

On the heels of Cousin Jean, this totally doesn't rate as good wank. Where's the legions of mice! We need more mice than just one. And there should be at least one declaration from somewhere of the need to leave LJ forever. We have no dramatic declarations! Which means I must use a ton of exclamation points to illustrate!!!!!

Wow, way to be months late on something that really wasn't all that wanky until the the MI.net people came in all offended - and even then? not that wanky.

And I'm sorry, Alison MacInnis wasn't acting all that professionally in her commentary -- and I don't see where it's terribly wanky to have the very people who run AMO point that out as there is a big difference between MI.net's want to be all jokes and fun and AMO's want to treat things very professionally.

But seriously, how pathetic do you have to be to post and/or submit a wank that's months old that NOT REALLY wanky? Gah, should of known that after all the HP wank nothing would ever look wanky again.

So I'm the rude one, I guess. Because I dare to make a comment that the site is ugly (which it is. Damn ugly.) If you don't like having your site judged on its aesthetics, then don't put one up. Someone else then makes a personal comment about my mother in response, and that's NOT rude? Whatev.

And for the record, the dead mouldering corpse comment was a JOKE. Who the hell has a dead mother that would respond in such a manner, and why the hell would you take it seriously unless you're retarded?

Finally...how fucking stupid is it that this is coming up now? This all happened like eons ago. What person with a tiny penis at MI felt the need to make themselves feel better by submitting it to fandom_wank a month after it occurred, I wonder? There. That's an intentional insult. Enjoy.

Dude, come on, are y'all for real? LOL This girl is essentially a glorified extra on VM and she's calling a fandom favorite a midget, and she didn't mean it as a compliment. She scoffed at Allison Mack's appearance - in print - and no, calling her name "nifty" doesn't quite make up for that. Considering how rabid people are about Chloe/AM, I'm amazed this is the only backlash she got.

Within acting circles, it IS unprofessional to make fun of other actors' appearance, especially because it is an industry where one's appearance is a huge bargaining chip. Yes, I get that AliwhateverMacwhatever was trying to be funny. What veaglarwen is trying to tell her is that she was unsuccessful. I don't think this was particularly wanky up until the web site people started being all "WTF HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE OUR PULITZER WORTH MAD INTERVIEWING SKILLZ BIATCH!" at which point it became a tsunami of wank, and the Veronica Mars fandom became Malaysia, circa late 2004.

And bitches, please, from the badly resized animated gif for a header to the eyesore palette to the inexplicable non-menu, the site is absolutely heinous. ;) I actually laughed out loud at the mouse who said it was teh best!!1! Fan site!!1 1 Evahh!! I was like... are you new to the Internet?
