9:00a - nashville wank? say it ain't so!
Edit: BAHLEETED! Woe, my cache does not have it.
Yep. Nashville wank. And it doesn't involve country music, publishing, or the medical profession, either.
You see, recently a young man was tasered to death outside a local club. (I do not know the whole story; what I know is that he was tripping like mad and was known for doing drugs.) ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) wolfgrrl posted a short, but outraged, entry regarding this to nashvillians and within three threads the wank was on!
The entry itself isn't really all that wanky; it's two lines, both of which were links. randomwriter starts off the wanking, but it's uhohlissa who really revs things up, because randomwriter pretty much disappears after hir sole comment. Accusations of immaturity and inability to understand what the police really have to deal with fly thick and fast, and it's not long before uhohlissa pulls out the "I know someone who is!" card, although in this case it's "my parents are LEO so STFU!" (What is the jurisimprudence law for that?) Later on mikedisaster chides the group for callousness and cruelty, and uhohlissa opens up on him/her, too. More invocations of various jurisimprudence laws occur, and basically it's a big, wanky mess.
God I love this city. /sarcasm

4:08p - Turns out cheesecake really is bad for you.
Suicide Girls goin 'splody?
For those who don't know, Suicide Girls is the most popular alt-porn site on there. Mostly softcore stuff; it also has interviews with various celebrities and a large message board. They play up the "real women" aspect of the site by giving each model her own page, a journal, etc.
Recently, the site seems to have been hit by a perfect storm of wank. Summary stolen and modified from sgirls, an "open forum" about the site:
- The SuicideGirls site has always had something of a "for-the-people, by-the-people" feel to it. It is revealed that the site is co-owned by controversial figure Sean Suhl. This pisses girls off. Sean himself has a not-so-nice reputation as a conservative and being "not progressive in his views towards women".
- Meanwhile, models' accounts are closed and their photo shoots archived if they pose for other sites. Others complain about compensation (the FAQ claims they get $300 per set) and being used in promotional images. The ones who participated on the burlesque tour report harassment from the staff. Member questions about archival and the current wank are also deleted.
- Rumors go around. Now ex-models claim that they've been threatened with having their pictures resold, been stranded after publicity outings, et cetera.
- Journal entries with negative thoughts about the site are modified by the staff. Models complain that they've no participation in the direction of the site.
- The site is "removing sets featuring bondage and gore in order to appease the FBI's counter-productive campaign of attacking perfectly legal pornography on the internet."
Where to find the wank? Sgirls is your best bet so far. It contains actual entries by ex-models. There's also UnPink, run by an anonymous ex-model, basically stating everything above.
Looks like most of the complaints will be archived here, but it's just links so far. Here's another site.
An article in Wired just came out, so expect more stuff as the news spreads.
And here's a rebuttal.
