Seattle vs. Bad PR: FIGHT!
Ah Seattle, my wanky home.

This one's just a little niblet, but it is a wank so perfectly formed in miniature that I can't help but show it off.

fuzzinit makes a post in the Seattle comm advertising his little home-based business featuring high-tech spy equipment and self-defense weapons and, apparently, chastity belts. Screencap here.  fuzzinit, in so doing, breaks a handful of comm rules and is told so, and begins deleting comments which harsh his groove willy-nilly. O noes! Post swiftly disappears.

Helpful community member creates second post where people can freely discuss fuzzinit. With breathtaking efficiency and elegance, fuzzinit goes through the Seven Stages Of Wank straight through I DIN' DO NU'IN to a really nifty double flounce in about five posts. But hey, despite doing everything wrong, he got hits! And hits are what's important, right?

...The Seattleites are still chewing on him a bit, since despite the fabulous flounce he's still trying to cling to the moral high ground. And on that moral high ground is a big ol' knife and night-vision goggles!

ETA: Huzzah, I post this and then go off hiking for a day and come back to discover I've completely failed! Links should be fixed, on the off chance that you have not already taken advantage of helpful commenters covering my ass.

ETA 2: HOLY CRAP THERE'S A SEQUEL! More like a parody. Maybe an homage. At any rate, stutts whips it out and the love flows like wine. Our city-hopping small businessman is revealed to be a true nationwide phenomenon!

My icon tachikoma is much more chill than yours.

There should be either a fandom_wank wiki or encyclopedia dramatica article for "Russet Noon." I can't remember how to spell the author's name but it's something like Lady Sybillia? It's a relatively recent wank so if you go to fandom wank proper and scroll back you might be able to just find it that way.

My comparison might not be valid though, because I thought fuzznit had written that blurb about "aggressive advertising" and his campaign, and that was what reminded me of it. But when I checked, I wasn't so sure that he was actually the one who wrote it. If he's not writing his own self-posturing press releases, my analogy falls flat.
