    Because Furries always deliver
    So, FurAffinity had a major hardware failure earlier in the week. So what do furries do when they don't have instant porn gratification?

    Bitch. For 88 pages.

    Highlights include whether "Ensure" and "Ensue" are interchangeable words, if FA should have subscriber accounts, and if the mods can be trusted with the $13,000 dollars raised in donations.

    Former US Senator Jesse Helms died today.

    Death being inherently unfunny, I'm posting this here. The issues raised by the Gawker piece linked are also sure to generate argument in the coming hours and days. For another take, here's CNN's coverage.

    K-pop Wars
    Hey everyone. Remember back a few months when [info]fandom_wank got it's first good dose of the crazy of the K-pop fangirls? If not the crazy is still here, and still quite frightening to read.

    But it looks like there's another great wrong that is pissing off fans of several fan clubs of the Korean boy groups. This is namely a new girl group called SNSD or Girls Generation. Apparently fans don't think the girls of this group, and one in particular, Tiffany, are respectful enough of the boy bands and are 'making fun of' them. Here's a good write up that summarizes things by an angry fan, as everything else are a nice shade of tl:dr.

    There are several accounts of the going ons of the 2008 Dream Concert, which was a concert that many of Korea's boy and girl groups performed at to promote national patriotism, ironically enough. The concert was ill-prepared for the crowd size they had, they expected 35,000 and 50,000 fans showed up, which did not help things at all as the concert progressed. There was mass shunning of SNSD as everyone that was not in the SNSD fan club turned their light sticks off (which at an Asian pop concert everybody has) during their performance and then preceded to boo and heckle the group. After that there are several reports of violence between the fan clubs were people claim to have been assaulted and banners made for the artists performing were torn during the concert.

    This journal entry has a complete run down of what occurred, but the tl;dr and angry fangirl-ism is a bit daunting. But she gets to invoke Snacky's Law with:

    This was done because of SNSD, why? Because these girls ARE rookies, they have NO respect for their sunbaes (seniors) they just jump around like their the popular girls in high school. And seriously, does the movie “mean Girls” not pop up when you think of a reality show in their dorms?

    Of course according to her report the SNSD fan club, which seems to made up of mostly guys going by the reported accounts, acted violently against members of other fan clubs and to quote "According to fan accounts, other fan lclub members were beaten up by SNSD fanboys - some had their hair ripped out, raped, stabbed with a knife and had broken legs, and were taken to the hospital."

    In another journal someone tries to rationalize that all the fighting between the fan clubs is a way that young people in Korea are releasing their pent up anger and frustration about the current political situation in Korea. And rounds it all out to blame the U.S. for wanting to export beef to Korea. Followed by a tangent about all that's going wrong in the world and ending by saying SNSD fans are just ignorant of how terrible the group is and don't know any better.

    There are some blogs from SNSD fans and their take on the whole ordeal. Here is one that just doesn't repost information from every other blog about the incident.

    And then there are even some much less unbiased reports about the concert here, here and here.

    Yes, I Am Attacking Your Character.
    As many of you no doubt saw, Don S. Davis recently went to his reward. In his memory, I thought I would reminisce a bit about a batshit fan of his: alt.tv.twin-peaks's own katbeneda.

    ( I'm not sure if you'll be able to follow my reasoning because it's pre-disengaged from a standard that is both universal and positive. )

    Say what you will about katbeneda, she stood on the rim of the volcano. She stood alone, and did her dance.

    Race Wank? In Who Fandom? It's just as likely as you'd think...
    As Whomageddon rolls on, [info]doctorwho  brings us another sterling gem. Or rather, two bright turds of wank, coupled together to form a synergistic pile of perfection.

    First, [info]cringer1982 shares that he's written a very pointed letter to the BBC about how they have portrayed Asians in their recent episode Turn Left. He neglects to mention that he's white as the fresh driven snow. Irish, in fact.

    BBC officials respond with a letter that has nothing to do with anything.

    Some people don't see his point.

    Violet Blue: Not so wonderful anymore, apparently
    It's already on [info]clairvoyantwank, but with 1000+ BoingBoing comments and half the blogosphere a-titter, this wank has matured.

    San Francisco sex blogger Violet Blue used to be chummy with the folks at Boing Boing, and naturally, they linked her a lot. However, she recently discovered that they "unpublished" all posts that mentioned her, effectively excising her from the internet's most popular purveyor of wonderful things. Last week, VB wondered what happened (and note that all links to her blog are NSFW). Valleywag, "Silicon Valley's tech gossip rag" (must be thrilling) picked up the story, and promptly started sensationalizing the shit out of it: Did the Internet's free speech guardian try to hush up a girl-on-girl love affair?, they wondered, and speculated on How [Boing Boing editor] Xeni and Violet's Boing Boing affair went sour." It gets Dugg, of course, and pretty soon we're hearing about censorship, Trotsky and "strangely unethical" goings on. Violet posts a tiny-violin follow-up and people start pestering the Boing Boing editors in comments to unrelated posts.

    So finally, Boing Boing responds. They say they did the "unpublishing" a year ago. They say they notified Blue. And then, in (*checks bottom of page*) 1100 comments and counting, the shit hits the fan. People accuse Boing Boing of hypocrisy, 1984 allusions fly all over the place, and the Boing Boing comment moderater completely fails to hold the moral high ground as she dances around explaining what Blue did that was so "evil." It's a huge game of they-said, she-said at this point, and figuring out what the hell is going on is frankly less interesting than tracking the endless comparisons to Stalinism. Nothing is like the gulags, people. Nothing.

    Now with highlights!

    Attention Associates, wank spill in the freezer section.
    A bit of a mini wank that's a tad old, fortunately it freezes well.

    Life Hacker posts a tip from Lunch in Box about a nifty way to freeze ground meat. Take your ground meat, put it in a gallon ziplock bag, pound it flat, and use a chopstick or ruler to press four lines into it to create nine square patties. Freeze. A nifty little hint that just takes a moment to do, saves bags, freezer space, and makes it easy to watch your portions.

    It starts off well, with people posting their own helpful hints, but quickly goes downhill.

    lionalbob,
    Isn't this precise measuring procedure anal retentive or OCD symptoms?

    People respond politely:

    johnydover,
    Or if you're on a diet and you're counting calories, or you can use the pre-proportions to make sure you don't break yourself off too much red meat at once, etc. It's a way of being aware of exactly how much you're eating.

    A lot of people have dietary restrictions due to illness, too. Diabetics don't have to keep too much track of protein, but they're required to have a certain amount to balance out their limited carb consumption

    Naturally, this doesn't go over too well:

    Deprog Mori,
    You don't need this for dietary restrictions. If you can't figure out how to limit your intake of X ingredient just by using common sense, you're screwed.

    This is the OCD/AR version of portion control, but it really doesn't convey any sort of advantage to anyone.

    Bruce A,
    @Deprong Mori: Are you serious? OK, so let me run this by you: which is better? Being able to break off a couple patties which will thaw quickly or having to thaw a whole pound of ground beef when you only needed half a pound? I don't know about you, but I'm going to say option #1 is more advantageous.

    Deprog Mori,
    Nah, you don't freeze a whole pound of ground beef. Portion it any way you want, but don't be so AR/OCD about the whole thing. Duh.

    Just portion your ground beef quickly. Just form a hamburger patty in the size and shape of a hamburger patty. Whether or not it's within 50 grams of a baseline amount is irrelevant.

    Jesus, are you folks that fucking lame to not understand this?

    And it goes on from there. Good times.

    Wank not involving companions? Does not compute.
    Veteran Doctor Who wanker Kate Orman (Kate Orman) (aka lj user seeingred) is no fan of anonymous memes. Finding she was not not at all loved at the anonymous doctor who livejournal community - who_anon - Ms. Orman urged the meme's creator lolcoholic to shut the meme down.

    But months later, Kate curiously starts her own anon community, which *surprise* attracts negative responses. ihasawall was up for zero point five seconds, so the amount of actual abuse is uncertain. But, not surprisingly, Kate continues the wank here at her macro community (ihasatardis) where she can log IP addresses, delete comments, and ban people.

    Naturally, some readers are butthurt. Others are confused. Was there abuse? Who dares disparage the house of Orman? Luckily, readers repost examples of the hateful comments, such as the companion's identity is not a spoiler twelve episodes into the show. Kate and various minions respond with "oh my poor unspoiled eyes" and "I luff Kate."

    The who_anon anonymice continue to not love Kate and are sad to have missed the opportunity to slag her at the dearly departed community.

    Stay tuned. The wank is just beginning.

    Details of a legal spanking of $cientology from the Village Voice.
    Yeah, I know this is mostly unfunnybusiness, but there is enough LULZ-worthy in this article that I thought it would be worth excerpting here.

    Scientology's Crushing Defeat
    A previously unpublished saga of an $8 million check

    Six years ago, when I was a reporter at New Times LA, I’d written several stories about Scientology (Los Angeles is one of its headquarters), and I was about to uncork the longest one yet—a 7,000 word piece about an embarrassing, $8 million defeat Scientology had just suffered, when the weekly paper suddenly folded.

    That unpublished story has been sitting in storage ever since. Fast forward to 2008, and the world of reporting on Scientology has changed radically, thanks in part to the lunacy of Tom Cruise, but also in part to a worldwide, leaderless movement that calls itself Anonymous. Ravenous for any information about L. Ron Hubbard’s strange organization, Anonymous scours the world for the least tidbit about Scientology.

    Well, here was a pretty meaty morsel just sitting in my hard drive. It’s still a substantial bit of reporting, and it fills in some gaps in the historical record of one of the most humiliating court losses Scientology has ever suffered.

    For the original story (What Scientology Paid $8 Million To Hide), which is still quite topical after six years and required only a little updating, click on the link in the title. 

    ETA: The article proper seems to have disappeared from the Village Voice site.  However, one can still read it in the Google Cache--linky.

    Boing?
    I don't think I've ever seen BoingBoing wank here - is there a reason for that or just that nobody thinks to look there? The place explodes at least once a fortnight, and an experienced wanka can pick where the good stuff is gonna hit. The lastest 'splodey on the forum follows one of Cory Doctorow's posts - Hot day fun for kids - paint the house with water!

    You can probably see where this is going: the "Don't you know there's a drought on?" folks are slugging it out with the "let the kids have their fun" folks, so there's fun for all.

    Just a tip - for those who don't regularly frequent BoingBoing, it's a moderated forum - if someone has pissed a mod off you'll see their post come up "disemvowelled" - you can usually make out what is being said if you want to hard enough.

    I couldn't find any tags that said "conservation" or "environmentalism", so I've left them off - sorry!

    Minor Blogging Implosion
    Apparently, there've been some major rumblings going on at Boing Boing, relating to the unpublishing of articles by a specific blogger. In their rationale, they say they were troubled by her behavior, did not want to condone her behavior, but will not comment on her behavior.

    And the comments begin.

    Comments range from, "What'd she do???" to "CENSORSHIP! MILITARY STATE! OPPRESSION! 1984!" with a side of, apparently, a commenter who has declared war on vowels.

    Will it grow? I sure hope so.

    LITERARY AGENT SUES THE INTERNET FOR BEING MEAN TO HER. NEWS AT 11.
    It all started with a list - a list of questionable literary agencies and agents. Unfortunately, someone named Barbara Bauer was on this list. This made her very, very, very, very unhappy. (So unhappy, in fact, she demanded A BILLION DOLLARS from several bloggers for her pain and suffering.) Why, oh why won't they fork over the dough? And why are they laughing? What's a poor, maligned literary agent to do? SUE WIKIPEDIA AND THE BLOGOSPHERE!, that's what. Hmmph. That'll show 'em!

    How can you justify yourself?
    For a while now now I've seen you post, advertising your zines for download.  For a while now I've held my tongue because you're a BNF in the fandom, plus I pretty much mostly lurk and no one knows me from jack. 

    Well screw that.  How can you justify selling downloads of zines for eight dollars a pop?  Its pure profit, plain and simple.  The whole point of paying for zines is that a) you don't make a profit and b) the buyer is getting something physical that they have to pay for because the physical thing actually incurs a cost on the part of the seller.   But what you sell in downloads are PDF files.  Nothing more. 

    And getting snippy when I emailed you a while back and asked where the eight dollars was going, given the lack of printing costs and other reasonable expenses facing honest zine publishers?  Not helping your cause.  You shouldn't get paid to edit a zine, it's not a job, its a hobby.    Using the money to pay for software?  I don't charge people to read my stories (not that anyone would pay for them) to pay for my computer or internet access, because that would be infringing on the intellectual property rights of the people who created the stuff in the first place because that would mean I was making money from fanfiction.  

    (Oh yeah, and much of this goes for you too, other writer, who now has 'exclusive' stories which are available for download at $5 per 'e-book'.)

    And what really pisses me off?  Authors I really like are being published by you.  And that makes me not want to read their stories anymore.   Because either they're getting a cut of the profit, or they are being complicit in something which goes against the spirit of fandom.

    <sigh>

    Stop ruining my fun, I don't read that email list to get righteously indignant every time you post.

    Something rotten in Furville.
    Pogoroo is a furry artist. This afternoon, there was an entry posted to his FurAffinity journal proclaiming his death on the 19th of June by a drunk driver. It was posted by his long distance girlfriend GhostlyDingo, who says that Pogoroo's mother called her shortly after the incident to advise her of what had happened. Due to grief, GhostlyDingo says she's been staying off the internet and this is why she did not make an announcement until now. (ETA: Original entry had been BAHLEETED, but someone posted a copy on their website which I've inserted.)

    At first, there is much grieving. As expected people give their condolences. Then along comes the first shred of doubt by thefurwithoutaname, asking for proof. This irritates folks some, and admittedly thefurwithoutaname is not exactly the most polite person with his replies. It's pointed out that nobody seems to be able to locate any obituary online for Pogoroo, in spite of the death being almost two weeks ago.

    The plot thickens further when it's pointed out that just a week ago, a post was made in Pogoroo's journal by another friend claiming he is without a computer for awhile. The most interesting part of the post was the mention that everyone that had purchased a commission from him will be fully refunded upon his return. After this journal is pointed out, it and all the previous journals (save for the death notice) are mysteriously deleted.

    Some of the choicest comments in the thread are from Straitfox, a fellow with a 'fursona' of a criminally insane fox in a straight jacket known for doing his share of wanking:

    "Oh i'm a nice person but I thin kyou have that backwards....I do not want to talk to you, YOu do not seem to be a person I can trust and ge along with so fuck that on your conscience you stupid TROLL!

    OWNED! BOOYAH!"

    Saving caps of the journal now, because I don't think it's long for this world either.

    ETA: Also, something I just noted on my own. GhostlyDingo made a journal post about a week back complaining about people who beg her for free art. Kind of an odd thing to focus on when your boyfriend just died.

    ETA II: Oh hey, and she also posted a week ago about commissioning her for fursuits, and to contact she or Pogoroo for concept art! Sheeesh. This has been a pretty messily faked death.

    ETA III: Comment just recently left by Rhari (bolding mine): "Yeah I'm in now. Pogo, this is low. I hope wherever you move to, you can find new friends.

    Also, Ghostlydingo's Husband contcted me today askin why she's so sad. Apparently he didn't know her internet boyfriend is le dead."

    After this comment, GhostlyDingo is now starting to claim she's possibly been duped as well: "Remember when I said If anything was wrong with this it was that he got some other lady to call me and say that? Do you think maybe thats it?" Also she is claiming that the aforementioned husband is on his way to being her EX and that they still live in the same house.

    ETA the last (?): All journals have been deleted, and the PogoRoo account has been banned by the mods while they investigate the situation. They did mention they found it linked to five other accounts, but they aren't mentioning which.

    There was a second journal posted on PogoRoo's account after the first was deleted (and it was archived before it was also deleted), but since it supposedly contains the undead's phone number I won't be linking to it. I will however, give a summary: GhostlyDingo proclaims she has clearly also been duped, and that PogoRoo must have gotten some lady to call her pretending to be his mother. A couple folks buy it, but soon it's pointed out that it still doesn't explain the journal GhostlyDingo had written a few days after she would have thought he was dead advising people to contact EITHER of them for concept art for fursuits. At this time, the commentors notice that GhostlyDingo's account was only just created on the 12th of the month. It's suggested that GhostlyDingo IS PogoRoo, and he is attempting to escape his debts. To make his story more credible, he likely pretended to be GhostlyDingo's husband as well, asking Rhari why she was upset so that once folks got suspicious she could act as if she were duped as well. After this proclamation, there is no more commentary from GhostlyDingo.

    NO WAIT MOAR ETA: The mods at FA have spoken to PogoRoo's former roomate. He confirmed PogoRoo moved out on the 22nd and that he's never heard of GhostlyDingo before.

    WheelieMachine sums up the whole thing quite well: "What a shitty deal... first you die, then you're kicked out of your own parents' house.

    Talk about insult to injury!"

    The Doctor is watching you.
    I knew with the season finale there would new Doctor Who wank popping up and I was not disappointed. It's more on the mild side but it could be a warm up to the things to come as the second half of the finale airs this weekend.

    WARNING: There be spoilers for the season 4 episodes that have aired in the UK but not in other parts of the world in the comments. So read at your own peril.

    Over at [info]doctorwho the mod [info]thehornedgod makes a mod post asking everyone not to say anything or even use an icon that insults any of the Doctor's companions as they are all special people. What the mod fails to do in his 'all companions are special so leave them alone' is actually give proper guidelines to what 'bashing' consists of. But he does leave instructions to have people contact him if they see anyone bashing, in text or via icon, a character. And with that gross lack of information and the fact the mods are asking people to snitch on others, the wank explodes.

    Be warned, there's some unfunny business in the first comment thread that should be skipped. The rest of the comments thankfully are more on the lines of 'why can't I say I dislike a character' and 'OMG the mod is being so mean'.

    [info]thehornedgod does clarify that people can discuss why they dislike a character but only if they give proper, well thought out reasons to why. Unfortunately that's all in the comments not the actual post, as the mods think people should just automatically understand where the line is instead of actually explaining the rules they've set.

    There are also several people that wonder why people are getting so defensive about what people say about fictional characters, which the mod defensively snaps at telling them that if they don't like the rules, GTFO.

    Eventually in the comments there are some mentions to what set the mods off.

    We even have one of the quickest Godwin's I've ever seen in the comments.

    It don't come easy
    Long Story Short: Owner of Galbadia Hotel (home to just about every video game soundtrack ever) is in financial straits. She claims that she is the victim of identity theft, with $60,000 stolen from her account. The site, apparently, costs $2,000 to run each month and she mostly pays out of pocket.

    She then asks (or begs, depending on how you look at it) for donations for the site.

    Cue people who think this is a scam, those who donate without questioning and those who are just trolling. Started yesterday and it looks like it has the potential to be really wanky, especially between those who think it's a scam and those who think it's real.

    Maureen Dowd: It Was a Social Experiment!
    Maureen Dowd is a columnist for the New York Times who is well known for her obsession with Bill Clinton. To be more precise, a certain part of Bill Clinton's anatomy. In the 2000 presidential election, she spent a lot of time making fun of Al Gore for the way he dressed. To keep it short, her worldview can be summarized like this: Republicans are manly men and Democrats are sissies.
    As you may know, the Democratic primary has caused a lot of sexism in the media, and many people are objecting to it. So now, even the New York Times, in the person of their public editor Clark Hoyt, is wondering if they could have handled things differently. The answer, of course, is...

    ( No )

    (the rest of what they said, of course, like the cackle, the pantsuit references, etc... was found to be perfectly OK).
    Kristol, it turns out, was only a sexist pig on Fox News, so the New York Times could wash their hands off him. Dowd was another matter, and her case they had to come up with a more sophisticated defense. And, wait for it...


    Bob Somerby, from the Daily Howler, calls bullshit (scroll down to "The Loathing that Dares Not Speak Its Name"):

    Review: The Host: a Novel. Slightly tl;dr
    I didn't hate it with the burning passion of ten thousand suns but it was still really lame.

    What it's supposed to be: Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away.

    Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.

    When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans, is caputured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish control of her mind.

    Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer beings to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
