(as requested by this anonymouse):
(this was basically a tossup between posting here and in political wank)
Eminem + politics + music elitism!
A post by datura in the liberal LJ community links to the new Eminem video that's been making the rounds of the internet in the past few days. The video makes a pretty emphatic anti-Bush statement.
People don't like Eminem. Wank ensues.
We've got Marilyn Manson debate, "pop music sux0rz!!1!", and yakkette all over the place (i'm pretty sure she popped up in a bunch of feminist wanks a while back). Fun times!
Less than a week till doomsday Election Day!

1:50a - more Government-wank
...this time courtesy of the USA.
A satirical post about GWBush leads to the Secret Service knocking on anniesj's door.
Turns out another LJ user had reported her to the FBI as they considered her post as a possible threat to Bush.
Neither anniesj nor the post above are especially wanky; it's the series of events that led up to this post that makes it all mind-boggling.
EDIT: Annie makes a followup post that clarifies a bunch of important points.

3:27p - There is a certain je ne sais quoi in epistolary wank
The letters section of my university newspaper is wanktastic. Lately, the neverending flamewar over gay marriage has somewhat cooled down, and has given way to a lively discussion of the recent trend of wearing polo shirts collar-up.
It started on September 30th with a letter (no longer online) that said, apparently, that people who wear their collars up are "immature, absurd, and stupid."
Over a week later, more wank appeared, and it's still going. ( There's a reason why this trend took place in the '80s, it sucks. )
And there it ends, for now. I'm trying to decide whether to giggle maniacally, or to headdesk.
current mood: Sparkly
current music: Leonard Cohen - Democracy (50 comments |comment on this)
