12:22a - Quick but nasty RP app wank
(Posted on behalf of a friend without a JF account.)
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) mother (she of the LJ petitions) applies to the roleplaying game middleareahigh. The mods turn her down, pointing to the short answers, lack of depth in the sample, and lack of first-person point of view. mother replies, but apparently sometime between the mods' reply and then, she bitched about them in her journal and someone informed the mods.
Wank ensues.
It's fairly short, at least at the time I'm posting this, but the sheer level of condescension is pretty impressive.

10:06a - Shortbus fish inna barrel wank
On the IMDB board for John Cameron Mitchell's new film Shortbus, MOVIEMAN-169 poses the wonderfully incisive question: To all of you who think that the use of real sex adds anything to the movies -
do you also believe that real bullets should be used when actors onscreen are shooting each other?
Hilarity ensues. Pretty much everyone tells him in one way or another to STFU and stop being such a damn idiot. Small, but fun and easily digestible on a Monday morning.
(Full disclosure: Saw the movie yesterday and really loved it. Am possibly biased because a close friend is friends with John Cameron Mitchell and has been raving about it for ages. But I do think it's very good; and it's worth noting that Mitchell was clever enough to put a lot of the sex in the first ten minutes, thus giving the audience plenty of time to get over their "OMG SEX" reactions and be able to pay attention to the characters and the story afterwards.)

1:46p - "If I see another fucking Harry Potter or Zach Braff icon I'm going to gag."
Someone on my flist brought this to my attention: There is a community called iconscraper that basically gathers up icon-sized pictures from the LJ picture feed and dumps them in huge posts. Since not all images 100 x 100 and smaller are icons, it also steals mood theme pictures, non-icon photos and everything else. As well, the images are hotlinked. Unsurprisingly, people get pissed about it. The owner, samplebitch, decides to post a retaliation post explaining how clever he (editted to correct a gender mishap LOL) is for creating the application that stole all the pictures and tells everyone off.
Small for now but could get completely out of hand at any minute.

4:28p - Protest FOR DA CHILDRENZZZ...
The Seattle com on LJ is usually the bastion of people asking where they can find a Thai place that delivers to Capitol Hill, which area should they move to, and occasionally local news and events. For the most part the wank levels are tepid, with most people going off topic or occasionally snarking some stupid piece of local news, but not really arguing.
Today Kaligrrrl posts to Seattle to promote a protest against closing some Seattle schools.

6:41p
So Tatsuya, creator of the webcomic Sinfest, often pokes fun at religion in general. Recently he made a rather controversial comic (yes, I know it involves a transformer. Stop laughing at me).
The wank on the forum begins when death_to_dib describes a conversation with a friend whose boyfriend is off on a mission.
I've never heard of a mission group going somewhere and not bringing some sort of material good into the place, but taking that aside: When you go to a third world country where people are dying of hunger and sickness, a person can feed an idividual. [...] But when all that fails, your female friend and her boyfriend are correct: the gospel is the most important thing you can give someone. They are not in hell, not even close. Their suffering will inrcease beyond imagination if they do not choose to cast their cares upon Christ. That of course is not the reason for salvation, the gospel isn't about where you go when you die but rather what you do while you're alive, but still. Dont knock what you don't understand, and you can't truly understand the christian faith unless you have it. I know I didn't.
And the wank goes on and on about religion for about 50 pages, while many wonder as to why a 'fundie' is on the forums of Sinfest. Evolution is argued against, macros are used, people use bad arguements on both sides, and it all ends in puppies.

9:51p - Facebook Wank
The Oslo Natural History Museum opens up an animal exhibit about homosexuality in the wild. And just like clockwork, a bunch of people ain't happy about it.
The irony from an excerpt that so many commenters keep recommending?:"Although biologically similar, the joining of man and woman in one flesh is worlds apart from the copulation of Fido and Fidette- at least it's meant to be! Fido and Fidette are merely following an instinct intended to continue their species.
Man and woman are meant to be loving one another in the image of a life-giving God... (EMPHASIS on LIFE-GIVING as reference to the fact that homosexuals can't give of themselves totally because their act together cannot be open to LIFE)(??!!)"
But if a man's and a woman's not supposed to exist for reproduction just like fido, then why complain about them 'gways'?
