TDS wank

Small but wanky on all sides.

[info]villainesse posts an introduction on The Daily Show lj here.

Some members are welcoming, some members not so much, and the comments start here, and here - where people apparently didn't see the humor in her post according to the OP.

Better yet, a short while later the OP posts again to the community here. Sarcastic posts follow here, here, and here, but the OP fights back with "you people need to grow senses of humour! last time I checked this was a fucking LJ COMMUNITY!!!!!!" and "DIDNT CATCH THE SIMPSONS REFERENCE DID YA??!" 

Some people stick up for her, but that just causes more fighting.

O fandom, you are filled with wank these days. D:

Wow who knew the wank would make its way all the way to the Daily Show fandom. I'm either in awe or sad, I can't make up my mind.

For a comedy show, it seems that few of it's fans have a sense of humor.

LJs are for drama, not exchanging pleasantries.
^ I like.

I love a good "Don't spam the comm!" "I can! I'm not spamming!" wank.

It's got some gems, yes. I admit to being worried after I posted it if it was even wank, but what the hell. It's really just some annoying LJers. I guess that qualifies though. :)

Yeah, that line sort of demands an icon, doesn't it? One of those ones with the lj logo and the slogan beneath it...

God, I'm lazy. I never actually make the icons, I just not-so-subtly hint that they should be made. I like to think I can get away with it because my first ever JF icon spawned a bona-fide Fandom Wank slogan :B *feels popular on teh intarwebs*

I wonder how courtney_beth the people who complain about introduction posts even sleep at night with all the anxiety they get over such frequent, inane posts. If it bothers them so, so very much, why don't they petition for moderator-ship so they can rule the comm with an iron fist and never have to have their eyes violated by a one liner post ever again?

That said, the second post is indeed irritating.

There is etiquette that needs to be followed, apparently, or the self-appointed mods will be out to get you.

It's just so much of a Marx brothers routine to me. Woop, woop, woop!

I think we/they tried to get a mod once when someone was posting with faux news stories that weren't especially hilarious and wouldn't take a hint, but the most that happened was the guy got banninated. [info]thedailyshow : deism gone awry.

Just another reason why the Daily Show has started sucking since it got popular. First, people stop taking them seriously (funniest thing in the world when they did that), then all the good "correspondants" leave, now, wank. My poor fandom.

I know the OP's first post was pointless, and she should have just let it go after that, but the people sniping at her with the sarcastic Jon icons are making me hate his face, and that's not a good thing. =(

The OP was annoying. I'm not even in the TDS fandom and I got that feeling. She was trying too hard. She's like the guy at the party who makes jokes to which everybody answers with complete and defeaning silence.

Dear Fangirls,

Stop liking my show. You're making my show look stupid.
Also, please stop brandishing my show as some sort of Liberal weapon, it's comedy and they make fun of everybody and that includes you (and me, when I went to a taping).

PS: If fans of the show are supposedly so intelligent and well-informed, then why are so many of the posts filled with such unintelligible jibberish? And the spelling, Oh God, the spelling. My inner English Teacher weeps, she does.

Oh, if I had a penny everytime I stopped myself from being supremely wanky when someone posts an intro or a post which obviously doesn't belong to a comm or "I don't know if this is acceptable, but mods, please delete this if it isn't" type of post, I'd be richer than Bill Gates.

I can never be the mod for a word-challenge comm, because it seriously pisses me off when people post 1000+ words "drabbles" to a 500word drabble comm. But I'm anal-retentive that way, because really, why complain when you can get fic?

Awwww...my fandom is all grown up and wanky now! ^^

Ok, the first post was one thing, because I do think the intro posts are annoying.

But by the second post, she was just asking for it. This girl just screams attention whore to me.

I only get my AMERICAN news from them because quite frankly I can't trust the rest of the american news broadcasters

Sweetie? That doesn't make you sound any less stupid. Yes, Fox News sucks and yes, the American media as a whole oftentimes sucks. But that still doesn't make the Daily Show a legit news organization. If you want to know what's going on in the US, read CNN.com or the New York Times or something.

*sigh*
