Roffling all over the wanking world ([info]adora_spintriae) wrote in [info]fandom_wank,

A few little Big Brother wanks, right in the face.
So there's recently been some shit going down on Australian Big Brother, with two housemates being removed from the set permanently after a nighttime turkeyslapping incident. Charming. Of course, there has been much drama on the Big Brother Australia LJ comm, though most of the comments on posts have been supportive of BB's actions.

Until the other night when the two guys appeared on a BB "Special" to supposedly "explain" their actions with the show's corpse-like host, Gretel Killeen. And the comm gets an anonymous comment criticising one commenter joking about a mild case of tourettes one of the removed housemates has. Out of all the things to get wank about, it is this. *facepalm*

Tiny bonus wank about how people wanting to get the show axed are "selfish" here.

Turkey slapping? I'm guessing that term has little to do with actual animal abuse?

The anonymous troll reads like an angsty teenaged moron. I don't know which post of hers I loved more; the part where she actually typed "whatever" as "what/ever" or she said she was reporting the thread to the community moderator for disrespecting a community member. Mice that left names could become unofficial community members, but not a cowardly twat who lobs whiney insults and passive-aggressive threats.

Was the "asst accountant" supposed to be a teenager?

For his employer's and their clients' sake, let's hope Mr./Ms. Anonymous Assistant Accountant is a lot better with numbers than words.

Isn't there some jurisimprudence law that states people can only whine about having a disease/other people mocking a disease if they can spell the name of the disease?

Tourettes can be funny, IMO. My Dad has a mild form of it, and we tease him about it all the time. You just have to know how not to cross the line between teasing and asshole.

Turkey-slapping, huh? I learn something novel and permanently destructive to my mental innocence every day.

And here's me thinking that Channel 10 couldn't sink any lower. I am inclined to think that this is a ratings ploy, but it's in unbelievably bad taste, to say nothing of the misogyny.

(As for the rest - Oh, Australian double standards, how I've missed you. Wait, no I haven't.

White boys assault female- "They were just having fun! It was a joke! And she was probably asking for it! Look, she's not that upset, are you darling? LOL!"

Non-white boys assault white female - *froth rage snarl* "Death is too good for them! No woman is safe!"

Non-white boys assault non-white female - "You know what those people are like.")

Wait... I think I totally misunderstood part of this wank! So let me get this right: It wasn't two guys Turkeyslapping each other...? In that case who was Turkeyslapping who and why?

And for some reason I really like typing Turkeyslapping now. I think I'm going test actually saying it out loud tonight at our family 4th celebration and see how it goes over.

we don't want to do it & i would never wish it upon someone else. would you make stupid comments about someone with a terminal illness? i'd hope not so why do it for something like this? i find that utterly offensive.
karma is a bitch, you might wanna watch what you say.


Way to take a perfectly reasonable point and make it completely asinine.

Furthermore, as a point of interest, sir or madam, a great deal of people have mild tics; a tic does not make a case of Tourrette's Syndrome. Which you should probably spell correctly if you want to wank about it, and since there are two common spellings and you didn't hit either of them ...

British BB has a guy with Tourette's Syndrome and an eleven inch cock.

And the forums are pretty damn wanky.

Halliwell has said she does not intend to press charges, and agreed it was a joke that went a bit too far.

Police have also viewed the footage and have ruled out a criminal investigation.

i did not respond to your comment. just because it appeared directly below yours doesn not mean i clicked on your comment.


Only, in this case, it means exactly that.

TIP: Clicking on that little (Parent) link tells you exactly which comment you clicked on before replying.

And this is why I don't watch 'Big Brother'.

I'm old fashioned, I like my television to be scripted, with actors, preferably some pretty special effects.
