The irony of the day: Guy writes anti-seatbelt letter to newspaper. Guy is later killed in car accident in which he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.

Wanky enough by itself - and I can kind of agree with the point that having to wear a seatbelt could be considered an attack on personal liberties, but whether it's law or not doesn't mean you shouldn't wear them. For a guy with five majors who wanted to go to law school, I sense a distinct lack of common sense.

So anyway, the above article predictably leads to wank.

Highlights: Non-seatbelt users should have second priority to seatbelt users in the emergency room. Someone takes this as an attack on subsidized health care. Or something. Insulting of Republicans. Comparing of fast food to seatbelts.

The discussion is unusually intelligent (at least compared to what I usually read) but still incredibly wanky.

...I bet there's more wank about this if I looked...

EDIT: The link to the original editorial has some amusing comments under it, too. Some guy uses it as a place to promote the Libertarian candidate for election. Several comments are rather prophetic. I'm most amused by the comment meant in rebuttal to one of the prophetic-sounding ones. Go take a look.

EDIT stikes back: What would otf_wank be without Mock the Stupid Wank? Thanks, Icz.
