	Some of us don't want poltics in our wank. It makes it ~~dirty~~ dirtier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now now, play nice, anonymice! Besides, does Michael Moore wank even count as political wank when both the lefty and the righty members think he's a fruitcake? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Since the whole wank here is so obviously political, it's easy to skip right past if you don't like it, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	So on the one hand he seems to be bitching that "that God forbid anyone actually make a movie for a purpose other than profit' while citing Spider-Man as preferred cinema? Spider-Man I lerned so much from U! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Mmm, politiwank. Dirtier than anything fandom can dish out. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Now you mention it, I probably should have put this in political_wank. I was too focused on trying to get it posted ~~before anyone else did~~ so that I could share the funneh with the world. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	darkvalkyrie 2004-07-02 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Eh, it was more a commentary on how real life can be wankier than fandom. Like truth and fiction, in a way. I rarely see anyone use political_wank anyway. :P (Besides IMO this probably has more to do with the moviegoers than the actal politicians.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smo 2004-07-02 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	(Besides IMO this probably has more to do with the moviegoers than the actal politicians.) Pretty much. I think of Moore more as ~~a shit-disturber~~ an entertainer than an activist, anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	And I cite the Crackers Don't Matter event from the Save Farscape campaign. It was not wise to mail Sci Fi all of those Crackers. Though, ticket stubs are smaller... and it is all to irritate Bush... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Well, then we mailed them our bras. We never said it made sense. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh, the bra thing was because Bonnie Hammer (the CO of the Sci-Fi Network), said that they were getting rid of a lot of their shows - including Farscape - because they wanted to start attracting more female viewers. I don't remember the exact quote, but I couldn't probably find it if I dug hard enough.

So, we all mailed her bras. Basically say "Sweetie, you're on crack." I don't remember why the crackers thing though - but it happened to coincide with the antrax scare, so it was a bad thing.
