The day the Earth went to wank.
Hey! It was Earth day not too long ago! Yay! In celebration of Earth Day, Jen over at Cake Wrecks decides to post about Earth Day related cakes gone horribly wrong.

Jen includes a cake intended to be Spaceship Earth (ETA: that she made, by the way) and makes a joke about it. Fortunately Jen's readership is ready and willing to let her know that the cake is actually Epcot, about 200 times. The comments are wanky, hilarious, and generous amounts of ass kissing towards the end.

This does not bode well with Jen's inner Disney child, and she amends her post with the following:

" To the scores of you telling me this is supposed to be Disney's Epcot Center: Um, yeah, I know. See, the ball at Epcot is called Spaceship Earth, NOT Epcot. Give a Diz Geek a little credit, eh?"

Unfortunately her inner Disney child is still smarting as the next post is provided by her husband, his explanation being...

"Hey everybody. This is john (the hubby of Jen) taking on today's post since Jen is...um...busy. Yeah. So how 'bout that post yesterday, huh? It's like one minute everything's all hunky-dory, and then next thing I know Jen's threatening to strike over something to do with a Disney font. Last I saw, she was on the couch in her memory foam slippers with a pint of Chunky Monkey and watching SGA reruns. I believe her exact words to me were, "YOU write it!!!" And I see the facial tic is back. Greeeaaat."

This, of course, starts a game of finger pointing.

And cake was had by all!

ETA 2: If two posts of butthurt wasn't enough for you, Jen also likes to tweet about it!

ETA 3: As pointed out by willywanka, apparently Blogger is responsible for bahleeted comments on Cake Wrecks.

franticallysimple puts it best, "Does this mysterious comment deletion have anything to do with the Epcot Center, now owned by Disney?"

I actually thought he was joking when I read that post. Like, Jen was busy or something and they just played it off as that being the reason that he was writing the post.

But looking at the comments, I guess I was wrong? Or maybe I'm not but the commenters aren't going to let a little thing like a joke they didn't get stop them from being self-satisfied ass-kissers? I don't even know.

	I really hope there's a husband who's writing those posts. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh my god, when he first started guest posting on the blog, I couldn't tell the difference between the way they wrote at all. Honestly, I still can't. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The thing what tipped me off was the cakes themselves -- c'mon, boring-but-not-necessarily-wrecked birthday cakes with the "b" covered up? I got past the second one and realized there was wank in them thar cakes. (I read the site via RSS, so I'm spared the comments and pretty well ignore Jen's koff pithy wisecracks...)

I want to think the same thing, except they have a history of being dramatastic when comments disagree with her, so I'm inclined to think otherwise. :\

For example, in the goth cake post, people commented because they felt the first cake was fine, just odd subject matter, and somehow she equated that they were calling her a bigot. And then there was the whole bahleetion thing.

	I wish I'd gotten a screencap of her husband castigating people for upsetting Jen in the comments of the first one I saw them take down--talking about how Jen was all in favor of avoiding conflict by just removing it but he wasn't going to give up that easily, and so on. They are not a healthy internet partnership. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Is there a husband-and-wife blogging team that is a healthy partnership? Every one I've ever heard of descends into wank, with the husband angrily defending the wife or vice versa. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yeah, it's more a prior history of codependent wankery. (Reply to this)(Parent)
