The Recycled Racist Menu Story
So who remembers huntress69? (Assuming you wanted to, that is.)

Well, she's currently in reboot Hawaii Five-0 fandom, writing classic gems like "5 People Who Did What Was Necessary To Get Catherine Rollins Out Of Steve's Life (And How They Did It) - A Pseudo-Halloween Fic", and her latest recycled work "A Night At Wong-Wong's - The Remix Version" (because of course she couldn't refrain from re-writing this classic for the third time her latest fandom).

The second story is a repost because she took down the first version after someone said her story was racist. However, IN THE NAME OF FREE SPEECH, she put it back up again. AND she encourages everyone who wishes to write their own version to take the menu and apply it to their own fandom! Who wouldn't want to have a story centered around a menu with dishes such as "Sum Yung Chick (Different and Delicious)" and "Cum Too Soon (Order Early These Go Fast)"?

If there are other folks who have (publicly) posted how uncomfortable/angry/etc. they are over the second story, I am unaware of any other than this fanficrants entry, and one or two folks who commented on her initial (now deleted) fic post and the follow-up. I feel icky enough going there to find the above links without reading the supportive "You're not racist! WHO DARES SAY YOU'RE RACIST!" comments of her fans.

No, it was a housing development, "Hiddenbrooke."

I guess if you're looking for a pricey home in NoCal, you have no time for web design.

Ha ha ha, it's in Vallejo, CA. I'm trying to imagine an area where the landscape looks LESS like a Kinkade painting, and all I'm coming up with is Nome, AK.

At the right time of year some bits of Nome could pull off the Kinkade "slightly-creepy snowbound cottage with inexplicable colored lights everywhere" look (though the lack of trees wouldn't help). The aurora borealis would help. Vallejo, though...

...wow.

I mean.

I think I need to lie down with a cold compress on my eyes now.

Yeah. That was my reaction - after I cleaned the sick off my keyboard.

OMG.

So you know it's bad when this cottage is actually the most subdued/tastefully decorated one they offer.



Disclaimer: I actually kind of want to decorate my kitchen with this sort of bright-rainbow-colors-on-white scheme, only...not this much.

Some elements of that could work. But the hula grass and bright! polka dotted! drawers and fridge that make it look like a My Little Pony fever dream.

Yeah, I'm diggin' the cups and plates and if they'd had like, red trim on the moulding and shelves it would look super cute. They just kind of turned it up to 11 when really, 5 would have been fine.

Ah, so that's where the Comic Sans and animated blinkies were.

I like the off-white text on the white background at the bottom.

My reaction was, "Yo! 1996 called and they want their shitty web design - wait, hold on, they're on the other line - okay. They said never mind, you keep it, because they don't want that shit back."

I didn't know cozy little English cottages came with Jacuzzi tubs.

All the better to drown unsuspecting victims! (One of the indelible cumulative messages to be gleaned from PBS's adult programming schedule is that cozy little English villages are the most dangerous freakin' places on the planet.)

RIGHT? When you get right down to it, Miss Marple was pretty fuckin' gangsta.
