3:58p | Unfunny ANN Double-Header Wank On Anime News Network's Chicks On Anime, this week's topic is censorship/editing in anime and manga. (Gee, this sure isn't going to cause wank at all.) The participants talk about different kinds of editing that North America and Japan do including nudity, violence, sexuality, smoking and alcohol, racism, AIDS, homophobia, loli/shota, and anything editors/publishers force the creators to change because they say so. It doesn't take long for the forum to become unfunny. (Ex-Answerman Zac is in there too. I am so surprised. Really.) Speaking of censoring, ANN also posted about Kodomo no Jikan's second season promo being streamed. (Zac, the one blamed for KnJ being canceled for release in NA, in this one too.) Edit: For anyone who wonders whether KnJ is pedo or not, all you have to do is look at the official merchandise. (Warning: Keep Brain and Eye Bleach near you, you'll need it. Oh God...) |

12:54p | So Transfan, I Herd U Liek Pedo Bear? Transformers comic book fandom wank.. Early this morning, it was about pedophilia. My doppelgänger from the IDW fan forum Skwege learned that he had been accused of having sex with children by the IDW forum fantards on Transfans.net. Sprunkner is a real internet tough guy. Unfortunately, he made it quite easy to find his dox. Skwege was not happy to find he'd been slandered as a pedo. So he calls (yes, as in calls Sprunkner's landline) to tell him to take it down. No yelling, just something along the lines of "call me whatever you want but accusing me of child fucking is not cool." What does Spencer (Sprunkner's IRL name) do? He freaks out and hangs up! That's right-he's a coward. So Skwege leaves him a voicemail: "Hi Spencer : You like to make libelous accusations about people having sex with kids? That is really grown up of you. Oh wow, you live in Washington State as well? What a coincidence! Bellingham is only an hour from here. It's not funny! I know little punks like you think they can run around all anonymous on the internet and think nothing can bite them in their ass. However let me tell you little man, you are going to retract your statement, and then apologize. Talking shit about someone is one thing, but making a disgusting and FOUL comment like that is libelous. I have the time, money, resources, and most importantly the fucking patience to see this through so don't toy with me little man." Then Sprunkner has his wife (yes, someone actually agreed to marry him) respond. He doesn't have the balls to answer Skwege himself-he makes his wife call him back and tell him not to call. Unfortunately, Spencer posted her phone number and email as his contact information. Some PMs get exchanged on the IDW forum and Sprunkner accuses Skwege of threatening him (although I doubt the police consider being asked to take down a post or telling someone you're suing them for slander are violations of any particular laws). He makes an announcement on Transfans.net, crying that Skwege is harassing his family and that he called the po-po on him. Sprunkner did call the police and they in turn contact Skwege. The result? The police are highly pissed off-at Sprunkner. Because this is much ado about comic books. All this name calling and wank is over whether or not the comic book series All Hail Megatron is in continuity. The police were not too happy about being called to mediate a dispute over Starscream's alt mode. They lecture Sprunkner and felt Skwege was somewhat justified. Skwege apologizes for dragging the wife into the mess because being accused of fucking children is serious business that involves the IRL banhammer. The wank continues on Tranfan.net where Sprunkner whines some more (I guess his wife made him sleep on the couch) and Skwege threatens to post a scan of the police report. These fine examples of male adulthood continue to fight about giant robots. I believe Sprunkner's wife summed it up succinctly in an email to Skwege: "This is a fight over made up robots-let it go." Unfortunately, everyone ignores her. Edit: I accept this is total fail. Need more recipes and fail macros, please. |

9:31p | Even Pimps Have Standards http://kfyi.com/cc-common/news/sect "Police Arrest Man Seeking to Have Sex with 10-year-old Girl Tip to police came from a known pimp who was 'outraged' at the suspect's request A recent Phoenix resident is under arrest in California for allegedly trying to solicit sex with a prostitute and a 10-year-old girl.

1:16p | *growl* Reports of a domestic disturbance brought police to an apartment at 638 North Spaulding Saturday. Once inside, they found a home with no food, heat or running water. The house also was filled with roaches and rats. Two baby boys were lying on the floor. It was only during another check of the home that assisting officers heard noises coming from a bedroom. That's where they found a 4-month-old girl hidden between a mattress and a wall. Current Mood: GRRRRRR |

6:02p | Time Sensitive FW flashback... ...I'm asking on behalf of someone who's doing a..unique trivia contest, so there's a slight time-sensitive element. I'm trying to find more info on the old "Fandom Unite!" LJ controversy that used "Hoist The Colors" as its theme song -- i.e., exactly what was fandom uniting about? I'm vaguely remembering details -- which of the "scrapping communities" stunts LJ pulled did it pertain to? Thanks in advance. I'm kind of sleep-deprived and can't function too well. |

12:36a | The More You Know: the evils of female urine Or: TWS at its finest ;_; :D ;_; :D ;_; :D ;_; :D ;_; :D ;_; :D... VATICAN CITY (AFP) – The contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and is in part responsible for male infertility, a report in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said Saturday. The pill "has for some years had devastating effects on the environment by releasing tonnes of hormones into nature" through female urine, said Pedro Jose Maria Simon Castellvi, president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, in the report. "We have sufficient evidence to state that a non-negligible cause of male infertility in the West is the environmental pollution caused by the pill," he said, without elaborating further. |

6:50p | Not to cause mass panic but I have to ask.... I don't mean to rouse people into a tizzy but I thought I'd inquire... I've heard mumblings on my LJ friends list of malware (Specifically vundo) infecting people via LJ's ads. Is this really happening? I have adblock so I think I'm good but still... |

9:21a | The grammar! My eyes! I'm just C&P'ing a mousie's post from wank_report. I can't pass up entitlement wank. Crunchyroll is going legit. The site owner, Shinji, has been wheeling and dealing to have anime air subbed only days after it airs in Japan. OK, users are pleased, the Naruto fans look on in anticipation, everything seems hunky-dory. Then, Shinji introduces Anime memberships for the site. Did not read all of the benefits but the gist seems to be higher quality videos and quicker access to the anime from Japan. That happened in the past few weeks. Now queue the new year! Oops, did he just say that he was removing all fan uploaded content and getting permission from the publishers? Queue the butthurt, angst, and I will kill for my anime!!!!Z!!!!!!ZOMG~!!!! Along with people eagerly trading links for other sites to feed their addiction. The dramas, anime, and music sections now look like ghost towns, with the exception of stuff Shinji has wheeled and dealed for. People are predicting the death of the site, but for now, it's fun seeing the entitlement angst going on over there. |

5:31p | A Short Tale of Starbucks, a Barista, and a Guitar Small wank brought to you by ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif){kind=small} wank_report and ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} baristas.Guy, supposedly, leaves guitar at Starbucks. Guy comes back and has an exchange with wrything_worms.( starbucks is not your storage unit dumbass ) wrything_worms decides to keep the guitar (HEY, FREE GUITAR, GAIZ!) after Guy doesn't come back for it and post the supposedly totally true tale here. Mixed reaction occurs with a lot of "you suck" and the dreaded C word gets thrown into play. Some people agree because the customer was trying to take advantage.wrything_worms then flounces and passive-agressively recants keeping the guitar in a second post to prove to all those nasty people calling wrything_worms an asshole just how much of a non-asshole wrything_worms is.( how to be legendary ) Naturally, more drama unfolds, but a lot of people agree that the cunt comment was uncalled for. Someone asks an important question: Wait, how did he get the guitar there if he was riding a bike? my reference to british people was merely referring to the fact that a great many of them use the word 'cunt' like any other word, therefore taking away from it's power Or how personal journal trolling is the classy thing to do. When he comes to get it, fuck with his head! Edit: What exactly can you get from starbucks that's $1.55 anyways? |

11:39a | "Why is Dora crying?" Because you're going to pull the plug. 'Colbert,' 'SpongeBob' may go dark on Time Warner. Media giant Viacom Inc. said its Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and 16 other channels will go dark for 13 million subscribers at 12:01 a.m. Thursday if a new carriage fee deal with Time Warner Cable Inc. is not agreed upon by then. [...] Instead, Viacom appealed directly to Time Warner Cable's customers, with TV ads in major markets. In Wednesday's New York Times, the company ran a full-page, color advertisement with Nickelodeon's animated bilingual heroine "Dora the Explorer" crying and clinging to her monkey pal, Boots. "Why is Dora crying?" the ad asks. "Time Warner Cable is taking Dora off the air tonight!" The ad urges viewers to call Time Warner Cable and demand that their favorite shows remain on the air. I don't know whether to post this here or clairvoyantwank. Since this is news story I figure I'd try here, but be ready for the fandom fallout.ETA: Viacom's Press Release ETA2: CNN Money's report. ETA3: Time Warner Cable's press release. ETA The FOURTH: Viacom and Time Warner Cable reach a deal at the last second. Thanks holyheadharpy!Fandom wanking AVERTED (at least for now) |

11:29a | D: 30GB Zunes Failing Everywhere, All At Once This happened to mine early this morning (around 1:45 AM Central). From what I've read in a few other forums, it's looking like it may be a software problem due to the newest version--at least one person who hadn't updated the software recently can still use their 30GB. Current Mood: Unhappy |

10:42p | Virginity pledges don't mean much, study shows Unmarried pledgers, however, were less likely than non-pledgers to use birth control (64 percent of pledge takers and 70 percent of non-pledge takers said they used it most of the time) or condoms (42 percent of pledge takers and 54 percent of non-pledge takers said they used them most of the time). |

4:02p | At the intersection of FFVII and FFR... When shezoo reposts hir Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children fanfic, "Flower Face", to ffvii_yaoi (locked, comm is open membership), the response is seemingly underwhelming - that is until eternalwings posts to fanficrants about the story.The first few comments are pretty tame and agreeable, until some of the author's friends and the author hirself show up. It's called AU, twit. Apparently, the story title comes from Welsh mythology, something renos_rude AND screamersgirl explain in the comments using the exact same text (with a tiny error likely because the entire lump wouldn't fit in AIM).And then the author appears, complete with capslock, insults and exclamation point abuse. AND YOUR RUINING THE PRETEND! Not to mention the entire thread devolving into something to do with coconut. All's well that wanks well, right? Except that a quick check back to see when "Flower Face" was originally posted reveals that shezoo is sepherotica is ssgallery is annataria (that Annataria), because ze changes usernames as often as ze changes URLS. And while some of those journals have been deleted, Annataria's is still there, listing many of the 'random' defenders (including the one so taken by the story) on FFR as friends. ...whoops? |

9:43p | Oh, not this shit again! Remember the massive wankstorm that happened when LJ had problems with breastfeeding in default icons? Get ready for round two. This time, it's Facebook's turn in the barrel. (I'm borrowing a friend's computer. Much more links when I get home.) ETA: Okay, I lose for rushing to print too quickly -- back when I was leafing through it at a friend's house, this looked much bigger and wankier than it does now. Well, it still looks big and wanky, but a good deal less entertaining. Anyway, in a too-little-too-late bid to lessen my fail a little... The Facebook petition. From here, there are about 1500 discussion threads, but the highlights include... Breastfeeding hurts. Not the first thing I'd think of if I was reading a magazine and found two pages stuck together, but then, I'm not in marketing. Another petition, this time directed at Obama. Incudes abortion wank. ("Obama couldn't possibly give a shit about breastfeeding rights, he's pro-child murder!") Aw, damn, there's no funny in that. Meet Harlan. He doesn't see the big deal, and thinks breastfeeding should be done privately. Obviously, lots of people disagree with him: "You don't own my breasts," "mind your own business," "breastfeeding is not sexual," and... what do you mean, I have to be logged in to go past the first page? Okay, I give up. Bring on your tomatoes and admonitions to lurk moar. |

9:58a | Vintage Update Does anyone remember this wank from awhile back? http://www.journalfen.net/community/fand I know Taral Wayne from the above article, personally, and while it took awhile for him to get around to seeing the article, he did finally see it. He felt it was well-written, as factual as could be, and had few problems with it. He did feel people might like to hear more directly from him, so provided me with a brief article. I'll include it below. ( Taral's response ) use |

6:03p | Pseuicidal tendencies This might get confusing. Bear with me. A guy named Boner posts a gripping story on the DDR Freak forum about a mysterious girl he met at a concert. Things were perfect, until it turned out she had terminal cancer and would soon die. Or did she? His story unfolded in the typical fake internet death manner: sudden trips to the hospital, calls from third parties, shady pasts, crazy exes. Boner used fake names and locations to hide his own identity, fearing for himself. You see, "Stacy" was a wanted felon in her home state and had been convicted for forgery, bad checks to the tune of $60,000, and theft. There's also something about an ex-boyfriend who had his lawn destroyed. Some people are sympathetic, some are skeptical. Boner's details don't all seem to mesh, and there is discussion about whether he is lying or whether his attempt to change names and location is the cause for inconsistency. And why would the girl use her own name instead of going by an alias? Much of this discussion happens on Reddit, once they pick up the story: see here, here, and here, for example (there's sort of NSFW ACSII art of a naked girl in the full comments). To add to this, people on the DDR forum find old posts from Boner stating that he had just met a great girl at a concert. Was he planning this for months, or was he really being conned? The internet detectives, never to be outdone, find a Utah woman who matches Boner's description. Apparently this is the girl, because Boner updates his story with different names and places. She's no longer Stacy from a Motorhead concert, but Kari from a Girl Talk concert, and she's from Utah, not Nebraska, and her crazy ex is Jacen, not Jason. Her SLCPD Most Wanted info is discovered, as well as an argument between Kari's ex who had his lawn destroyed—or whose friend's lawn was destroyed...or something—and one of her friends. So in the end, it seems that Boner almost got boned by a pro, and not in the good way. |

4:01p | "Barack the Magic Negro" It must just be a Very Unfunny December this year. WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Republican National Committee on Saturday admonished one of his potential successors for giving members a CD featuring a song called "Barack the Magic Negro." Chip Saltsman, who is seeking the RNC chairmanship, sent committee members a 41-track CD by conservative comedian Paul Shanklin as part of his Christmas message to committee members. The CD includes the controversial song about President-elect Barack Obama. [ ... ] Limbaugh has insisted that the song was a parody to prove a point about liberal white voters. "I can tell you think the term 'Negro' is inappropriate, that it's old hat and shouldn't be used, that it's divisive and this sort of thing, and you may have a point," Limbaugh told a caller objecting to the song in March 2007, according to show transcripts. "But remember what we do on this program: We illustrate absurdity by being absurd." Link. Googling for the story also nets a CNN story in which the man who sent out the CD defends it. I don't really find racist jokes "funny" ever, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given it's the RNC. And, of course, the CD is titled "We Hate The USA," because only Republicans truly love their country, right? Current Mood: *thud* |

5:22a | All I want for Christmas......is Death! Police: Port St. Lucie woman kills son, 8, on Christmas Basically a Florida woman lost her job and house during the current economic recession and decided on the easy way out by killing her son as well as herself on Christmas Day. She survived but her son did not. She justified the murder by claiming she didn't want to leave her son behind for when she killed herself. Whoa. |

I'm hoping it's the first. There is some one else defending it further down, but I couldn't get past the first sentence of their post. |

8:59p | "Santa" kills at least 6 & self in L.A. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081226/ap_ "COVINA, Calif. – Stinging from an acrimonious divorce, a man plotting revenge against his ex-wife dressed up like Santa, went to his former in-laws' Christmas Eve party and slaughtered at least six people before killing himself hours later." |
