OMGSPOILER Hilarity
Daily Show wank, which, shockingly enough, has absolutely nothing to do with slashing the correspondents. There's a first.

It starts when rocca_that_kilt makes a post to the Daily Show community sharing an mp3 of "Age of Aquarius", and mentions that the song has significance to the new Forty Year Old Virgin movie. (For those who aren't Daily Show fans, Steve Carell used to be on TDS, and they've been promoting the movie something fierce as a result.)

Harmless sharing of music? Or dastardly deed?

slickgothgurl gets snitty, and in a locked post to the community whines that this was an OMGSPOILER!!!1!1! and demands that people make their own non-TDS community to discuss the movie so she doesn't waste her $11.50, because apparently knowing a single song from the soundtrack completely ruins the entire experience.

She disables comments, which apparently motivates jesterstear to make a post mocking her for it. Cue firefight over immaturity, spoilers, et. all.

Bite-sized, but the sheer hilarity of thinking that disabling comments is a good way to prevent drama makes it tasty.

Edited to add: Journalfen's very own [info]altoidsaddict does her good deed of the day and OMGSPOILERS the ending of Steve Carell and the Half-Blood Newsanchor.

mistah_pink proves, as if there was any real doubt, that the best way to add to wank is to try and stop it.

Now taking bets as to when slickgothgurl leaves the community in a huff.

The hits keep on coming: mistah_pink deletes the OMGBEHAVE post . . . but not before raising suspicions that he's really slickgothgurl's sockpuppet. (Oh, confirmationtality: yup, same person.)

I wanked. Heavily. Even made my own post. Mockity-mock.

I would be ashamed, but it was fun so I'm not.

( lol'd. Thumbs up TDS fandom! You're like a tide of spooge; lulling into a false sense of wank-free security and then bam! the waves come again, spurting away all over the shores. Fap, fap, fap.

It's poetic.

...a SONG? There is only one movie I can imagine a song being a spoiler for, and that's The Crow. The writers listened to 'Burn' once too often.

This movie? Probably not ganked from a Cure song. Just guessing. Might as well say that 'Down with the Sickness' by Lounge Against the Machine spoiled you for Dawn of the Dead.

I always thought that my fandom was immune to such idiocy surrouding SPOILERS, but apparently not.

What is up with every single fandom going OMGSPOILERZZ!!1crazy lately?

Dear slickgothgirl,

Repeating "omg ur so lame!" over and over and over again does not mean you're winning the argument.

You are, in fact, looking just as childish as the people you're accusing. And that's by your own effort.

Man, I've been waiting for us to land on FW for a while now. Finally we have reached our peak.

At least it didn't involve me and pr0n and the most pointless nonexistant ship wars ever. For that I can be pleased.

I'd still go see the movie even if it was ZOMG SPOILED WTFBBQ!!1! because um hi, Steve Carell, I love you.

::headdesk::

Daily Show fandom, what the fuck is wrong with you. It's a song. You're supposed to be sane, an intelligent fandom who can tell the difference from bullshit and reality because you follow the wise teachings of your god, Jon Stewart.

But aparently there are those who are there for "teh_hawt" and don't get that.

Or are stupid and don't realize it's JUST. A. SONG. The movie isn't spoiled. I mean, you can sort of tell how a movie like that is going to end anyway.

Ten bucks says he gets laid, because that's the purpose of the movie, right? =\

Still haven't seen it yet. Going tonight. Or tomorrow.

Proving once again that TDS fans take their internets seriously. And damn, we've been a wanky little fandom lately. This disappoints me, because I thought that most Daily Show fans were more mature and had good senses of humor.

My reaction to slickgothgurl's post this morning was "bitch are you for real?" Does she think the trailer is a spoiler for the movie too? I'm just sorry I didn't wake up before she disabled comments on the post. :(

I mean, come on, people. If we're going to fight about something, can we at least go back to fighting about the pr0n? Oh, wait, we're already sort of doing that too.

The person hosting the clips didn't photoshop them. I have no photoshop skills whatsoever. What you see is what was in my inbox.

It's quite possible that Pink / Gurl did the initial post, then came back a few minutes later to check the drama, and realized that he/she/it used the wrong account to post.

Folks, if you learn anything from that little war other than the fact that I'm a complete and utter asshole, learn the lesson I was trying to teach Pink / Gurl: A troll only has as much power over you as you decide to give them. Seriously. I've always found that the best way to handle a troll is to not feed them.

As for the community needing a full time mod, I've said that many times in the past, and I've told the moderator that he needs to either make more time to watch the community, get some co-moderators, or turn the community over to someone willing to put in the effort. I've told him that several times, actually, and he never says anything.
