9:43a - Spotlighted Wank
Has anyone else noticed how quickly the "LJ Spotlighted Communities" become hotbeds of wank?

Let's see... Over in [info]autumn_and_fall, [info]asweettragedy decides to post up a pretty picture of some pumpkins, along with some glurge about how God made us all like jack-o-lanterns or something. I'm not entirely certain I understand it, but [info]shatterstripes sums it up as :

So being a Christian is like being an empty shell with a forced grin and no potential to grow anything new, who's left out to rot over the weeks after it's useful, and then thrown in the compost (if you're lucky; the trash is more likely) with cries of 'eeew'?

Sounds great! Sign me up!


I'd love to link you to [info]shatterstripes' actual comment, but it's now listed as "deleted comment". I happen to have it open in another window, should anyone want screencaps.

This, of course, leads to screaming of how "uncool" the OP is because she's deleting comments.

Or is she?

To echo [info]krushisabitch: Who would have thought there would be drama here?

Meanwhile, over on the other side of OMG serious business... We've got [info]historyisfun, this week's featured wankmagnet community, where [info]pirated_pie wants to know if we think our interest in history is because of our past lives. (Can I claim to have been Joan of Arc in a former life?)

[info]feste_sylvan thinks this is dumb. This annoys [info]pirated_pie to the point where s/h/it loses the ability to use the "s" key and informes [info]feste_sylvan he's an "a**hole".

Which, as all things do, leads to Communism Wank.

7:44p - They're stupid, they had it coming
Over on the Absolute Write Forums there's a thread warning people to think twice about buying from magazine sellers here: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42192

There's apparently many of these that aren't reputable. A reasonable, calm discussion about experiences with sellers and relating of news stories about sellers follows. The calm enviroment is not to last, however, and winds change as jfreedan blows in on page two with this:
 
From what I've read on these pages, these "kids" you speak of are 18 years old or older.

Is this some kind of joke, like the Halloween candy scare from the 80s?

People are kidnapping LEGAL ADULTS, rooming them in hotels, and sending them out to sell magazine subscriptions? :p

Door-to-door salesman scams are nothing new, but I have feeling this is some kind of hoax. It is kind of hard to kidnap people when you let them run around town you know. They certaintly aren't trying very hard.


You can just tell it'll go downhill after that, can't you?

And it sure does! )

8:43p - More CO wank!
There is posted a picture of a Pomerian and a chick in less than the best of positions.

People predict wank, and the wank appears.

i'm so done with this site. you don't care what you put up here.

cute overload needs to take the "cute" out of the name.

that is absolutely a revolting picture. if you are not disgusted by that pic, then you're a poor excuse for an animal lover.


People attempt to excuse the pic:

I doubt the pictures would have been posted on the Internet if something bad happened to the little chicklette.

A little cringe-worthy, but nothing so bad as to stop coming to this site. Geez people, chill out.


I own a pomeranian and he has the softest mouth of any dog I've ever owned. The chick is fine. If you don't know what a soft mouth is read the Big Red series.

But the wank goes on.

How clever you all are with your made up words and snide attitudes here.
Heavan forbid someone disagrees with the site (A Thinker, Teugh Cats, Redzilla, Simple minded Pollyanna etc...etc...), you all swarm like locusts to squash the evil one with the independent thought.

WHO cares if it is a soft mouth breed? WHO cares if YOUR pom never crushed a chick in it's mouth.
It's a disgusting pic. that one would never expect to see on a site titled "CUTE OVERLOAD".
