We don't actually know if this is plagiarism wank, unless someone out there is an internets lawyer

Here's some Project Runway plagiarism wank to go with the lovely vanity pub and author wank. I hope it goes without saying that there might be a spoiler or two for the finale, but I'll say it anyway: There are spoilers for the finale in this post.

Harlequin vanity bodice-ripping wank! (Even more awesome than it sounds)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:53:02 GMT

Hang on to your hats, kids, this one's a doozy in several parts. To start off, you might want to catch up on agilebrit's clairvoyantwank writeup. Clairvoyant indeed! To sum up, romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises teamed up with a publisher called ASI solutions to form Harlequin Horizons, a vanity press. Romance Writers of America promptly revoked Harlequin's "recognized publisher" status.

Get your Satanic wank out of my distro!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:37:15 GMT

Background: Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux. Think of it as a version of Linux like you have Windows XP, Vista, Me, 95, etc. Some people created Ubuntun Christian Edition, which annoyed some members of the Ubuntu community who didn't see why a special religious-based distribution was needed but it was mostly a polite argument. Then, in retaliation, Ubuntu Satanic Edition was created.

From wank_report:
Genevieve Koski, writing for the A.V. Club, offers her opinion on a recent screening of Ghostbusters for Better Late Than Never, the feature in which authors who never experienced some element of the pop culture of the past go back and review it with the jaded eyes of the present. Her opinion, of course, is negative.

Activision and Infinity Ward Hate PC Gamers

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:14:25 GMT

There was a time when all the first-person shooter fanboys were hot for Modern Warfare 2. That was before it was announced that the PC version wouldn't support dedicated servers, and players would instead be stuck having to use a matchmaking system. According to the Joystiq piece: Even without a doctorate in PC gaming affairs, it's easy to see how this fact would upset someone (or some community) who drops a wad of cash every month on renting a private server. Also preturbed by this news are fans of modded game modes and custom maps -- both of which would be unlikely under the IWNet framework.

Go Puck yourself: Glee wank.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:24:20 GMT

Glee, by its very definition, is about opening yourself up to joy. That, or it refers to a new television show that follows a high school glee club, made up of a bunch of mismatched students.

I refuse to return your stolen tablet until you buy me a better one

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:50:14 GMT

Over on FurAffinity Kitara makes a journal about the theft of her tablet (the original journal is on the bottom half and the update is on the top half). She says she lent it to Recca_se_li and it was then either stolen by Razr or Recca lent it to Razr. Either way Razr refuses to answer any of Kitara's emails or text messages on the subject. Kitara then updates same journal (top half) when she manages to contact Razrs roomate/master/girlfriend/sockpuppet knowstobite. Knowstobite insists that the tablet was given to Razrs by Recca as a parting gift and that he will only return it once Kitara gives him another tablet of same or better quality.

Mods behaving badly.

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:26:04 GMT

On the FurAffinity forums Techiewolf makes a post asking if they could help with the coding of the site. For years now, the site has been promising the arrival of a brand new version of the site's coding called 'Ferrox'. 'Ferrox' could be considered sort of a Duke Nukem Forever thing, as very little progress seems to have been made (if any) and there's no definite release date. The user is informed that any coding help needed would be towards 'Ferrox' rather than the site's current code. All goes fairly uneventfully until Vitae (a former mod) comments: "I wouldn't bother trying to help, every time someone does try they're just shunned and tossed into the garbage at the end."

Banned from Octocon!

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:30:04 GMT

Before I get started, a disclaimer: The closest connection I have to Irish fandom is that I've flown over bits of Ireland from time to time. And, when I was a kid, I saw a lot of commercials for Lucky Charms. So I'm probably going to be missing a few subtleties. Also, this is something that happened recently, and recently . . . recently isn't really the decade that I'm best at.

eli roth starts a civil war on ontd

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:16:21 GMT

Inglourious Basterds is the latest Quentin Tarantino movie. Oh No They Didn't, is a gossip site based on LJ that is big enough it's actually taken LJ severs out more than once all on its lonesome (I think the last time was when Michael Jackson died, but don't quote me). Eli Roth is the guy who plays Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in Inglourious Basterds (he also wrote/directed Cabin Fever and Hostel and its apparently awful sequel. That guy).
