Furries: They Ruin Everything
Tired of reading about the lj advisory board election ? Well, here's some good old-fashioned drama about elections that, y'know, matter. As boring and derivative as political wank can be, bear with me because this one's got furries.

It all started last Monday, when Barack Obama gave a speech commemorating Memorial Day with a mention of his great-uncle, a WWII vet involved in liberating Nazi death camps. During the speech, Obama stated that his uncle had been involved in the liberation of Auschwitz; this was incorrect, it was actually Ohrdruf. A simple mistake...OR WAS IT? The usual accusations of exploiting veterans for political gain rapidly descends into "BARACK OBAMA IS A FILTHY FILTHY CHEAT WHO NEVER EVEN HAD AN UNCLE ANYWAY!" This provides a good summary.

In attempting to prove Obama as a lying liar who lies, our plucky investigators, as reported by Sadly, No!, recieve the biggest bitchslap in the world from a WWII vet. Twice.

Here's where it gets funny: despite being well and truly owned by aging servicemen, the Obama-dissenter cigarskunk keeps pestering them. In the follow-up report, cigarskunk's username starts to set off alarm bells for some of the readers of Sadly, No!, mainly because he is the type of highly vocal, highly annoying [ETA: this goes to Encyclopedia Dramatica, NSFW, be warned] furry that not even other furries want to be associated with:

In August, Cigarskunk came to CYD [CrushYiffDestroy] in order to assert his heterosexuality and to explain why the furries hated him: He was 100 percent straight, he smoked, he was conservative, and he brought females to conventions, because he was not gay. He stated, restated, and then stated some more that he really loved women and was totally straight, and then went on to call everybody else gay.

[...] After babbling endlessly that he wasn’t gay and everyone else was, Cigarskunk began to ramble about cigars and how great they were. It was fetishistic: “Cigars, cigars, cigars, by God, I love cigars. My favorite color is cigar-brown. Cigar smoke, cigar smell, cigar taste; cigars are fucking great. I really, really like cigars. Cigars make my day. Cigars have a Zen-like quality to them, and they’re so damn good. Ooh, yes, cigars. I think about cigars all the time. I fucking love cigars.”
