02:48pm - Gay is Bashing!Bit small compared to the past couple of wanks but full of fangirl rage and lulz.
Some information to better understand the wank. In Japan there is an agency called Johnny's that is the major male idol agency in the country. Most of the most popular boy bands are signed with them, one of these groups is called NEWS.
A few days ago a German NEWS fan
chyco_chan decided to share scans from a German J-Pop magazine, that is notorious for poor research and nabbing whatever pictures they can find on the net for their magazine, as this time they snagged two pictures of NEWS/Kanjani8 member Ryo Nishikido for an article about gay life in Japan. In the words of
chyco_chan: BUT why??? Ryo = gay??? XDDDD
That's bashing XD (not even by us sou~ XD)
She then tries to get people to contact Johnny's about the magazine to tell them about it in the comments as she's afraid of being blamed if the magazine goes out of business.
And then cue the fangirl rage and lols at the article in the seven pages of comments this post has spawned.
There is someone that questions the 'calling someone gay=bashing' of the OP but then goes on about homoerotic the pictures are, despite them being, y'know solo shots.
And we have some minor capslocking of rage against other fangirls by bugattack.
Plus rage against the magazine as this would 'hurt' Ryo if he ever saw it from yamapilovergyal.
And many, many 'Poor Ryo' and 'Johnny's should sue' than it's worth counting.

05:07pm - "Obviously, it was not the outcome we had hoped for or wanted"So did you hear the news?
cleolinda's head explodedThat's right, you heard me: RDR Books has issued a notice of appeal. Wankas can scarcely believe it. I mean, even Trelawney wouldn't have seen this one coming, yuk yuk yuk.
Naturally, it's reported on various blogs, like Slashdot as well as Leaky Cauldron, and the same arguments from before are rehashed.
You can still refer to RDR Books' website for, uh, information as well.
ETA: Recording Industry vs. The People, which had just recently shared an opinion about the Lexicaon fair use decision, revisits the topic. For those of you who wants to know what {The Common Man} has to say about this.
Also, did you know that the www.hp-lexicon.org was recently named one of the nation's top 15 "Great Web Sites" for children last week by the American Library Association? How embattled.
ETA 2: I just did an ETA and forgot to tack this on. "It ain't over til it's over!"
Info/Law says Slashdot commenters are oversimplifying things, and Techdirt says JKR made her case based on emotion rather than law and says the case is damaging her rep.
ETA 3:
sheep gives us another judicial document that I really wish were really real.Also, a post on rattlesnakeroot's journal commemorates the anniversary of the judicial proceedings, casting Lexicongate characters as Harry Potter ones.
ETA 4: From
mariem_1:“It was all very hurtful,” says Vander Ark , who is still such a fan himself that he doesn’t blame the multi-millionaire author at all for her actions... Vander Ark says that he now longs to meet Rowling - purely to say how much he regrets upsetting her.mariem_1 continues to make my life easier by pointing out where an anonymouse took issue with rattlesnakeroot's comments on the case. A summary:Anonymous:
Is the lack of reading comprehension (whether willful or not, I have no idea) contagious around here?
rattlesnakeroot:
Thanks for the psychoanalysis. It's so kind of you to study us this way.
And in case anyone missed it, I'm not actually Cleo; she retired from Lexicongate and I'm merely
cleolinda was last seen dancing with glee.And, in celebration of
cleolinda's contributions to keeping us all on top of the tsunami of this wank, here's a refresher course of the past year in Lexicongate: ( In chronological order... )

04:42pm - It can't be called insanely creepy if it was done in a joking manner, can it?Have you heard about the pandemonium that Robert Pattinson--the flesh and blood incarnation of Sparkly Marblepeen God Edward Cullen--has been causing as he makes his way across America in a series of Hot Topic mall tours?
Well, a group of twats, members of the Twilight humor community 'Twatlight, were there to experience the chaos first hand, and they had a plan to bring a smile to Robert's face.
Tom Sturridge is the somewhat lesser known in real life BFF of RPattz. There's several running in jokes amongst the twats involving Tom, and lots of joking around about RPattz/TomStu slashing because the two guys apparently share clothing, and Tom tends to be photographed hovering around Robert protectively as he speaks to the media during red-carpet events (see video for examples. He is the bearded guy standing watch 39 seconds in and at 1.22 minutes. Tom also happens to be wearing the infamous green plaid shirt that he and Robert share.)
The Bring A Smile to Rob's face plan was for the twatlight member kristaynuh to wear this homemade shirt during the autograph signing session. The shirt is of two hearts with Tom Sturridge's face stuck right over the boob area with the words 'TomStu ♥s You' directly
beneath the pictures.
Wanna see how Rob reacted to seeing the face of his best friend over a random girl's bosom? Well, she posted a reaction vid of Rob to youtube, yo here yah go.
The general consensus within the Twatlight community was that she was awesome, and that what she'd done was totally in keeping with the community's lulzy attitude towards Twilight. But others do not agree! Some think that it was a majorly creepy move. Others claim that the twats have a double standard when it comes to mocking TwiHards, that to them it's okay for twats to pull stunts like these, but would find it creepy if it were the TwiMoms doing it. And still more claim that Twatlight has gone too srs bsness and has forgotten about its lulzy origins.
It's small wank right now, but haven't you missed Twilight wank lately?
Bonus Unrelated Thing: RPattz has been doing a lot of promo interviews lately, so he's been doing a lot of Stephenie Meyer slagging off. Like in this video, where he says: "I was convinced... that Stephenie was convinced... that she was Bella... and it was like a book that wasn't supposed to be published. And you're reading like, her sort of sexual fantasy. [...] I was like, This woman is mad. She's completely mad, and she's in love with her own fictional creation. And sometimes you'd like feel uncomfortable reading this thing. [...] It's kind of... like a sick pleasure."
And he says this kind of thing not once, but TWICE.

03:20pm - "We can't help being batshit! Jensen Ackles made us that way!"Is there a crisis going on in the SPN fandom? Could it be possible that Jensen Ackles really doesn't matter? I am no longer a die-hard fan of Jensen Ackles. In fact, I really don't like him much anymore.
But wait! No! This must be an error! Because: "Why Jensen Ackles Matters"
There's a truckload of mind-boggling awesome tl;dr there, so ( let me give you the highlights: )
Sophie Briand and Susannah Eanes - evidently these two
BONUS WANK: J2 fans have moved into true tinhat territory: Yes, it's time for the clothing shoutouts!
How very 2002. Domlijah called, they want their schtick back.
ETA: The author has shown up in esorlehcar's journal, claiming it was all fiction, although her friends seem a little appalled and hurt. However, capslock means it was all a joke, evidently!
If it's fiction, does that mean she and her friends aren't intelligent and hot?
ETA 2:
1)
susannaheanes has deleted her LJ AND the essay! But it was just FICSHUN! AND FOR THE LOLZ! Alas.2) Evidently there is nothing more wrong than finding something funny. Only the author and her friends can do that!
3) Evidently me posting this wank is a violation of FW policy! After not explaining how this is to me, she made a very brave post, in which she stood up for her beliefs and completely fail to understand a word Sep said. Now all her friends who are FW members are going to quit or protest or something, I guess. Strangely, these same people who are so concerned with the FW policy, including
susannaheanes, do not realize that trolling esorlehcar's journal is a violation of the FW's rules.I'm sorry, I no longer believe in their intelligence, or hotness. D:

10:13pm - OMG THINK OF THE IMAGINARY CHILDREN!!!!111!11So today's Fandom Secrets post had a secret about a show called Kodomo no Jikan. WHat is Kodomo no Jikan about? Honestly I have no idea, but going by the posts in the community it's some anime about an elementary school girl who tries to have sex with her teacher.
Oh, but wait! Kodomo no Jikan is actually deep and meaningful!
Fandom Secrets' response: bitch say WHAT!?
But people keep defending it, because it really is more than pedobait! Seriously! Also, there's lots of South Park comparisons, because the two series are so much alike! But some say it's not.
Either way, there's a lot of fail on both sides.

09:58pm - Livejournal's At It Again!From the website that pissed off all their fandom user base twice, Livejournal has decided to go for the gold and piss off their entire user base this time around. I present to you...
The Profile Massacre of 08!
In other words, Livejournal changes the profile design without warning and announces it later. Naturally, Livejournal users are very unhappy. There's more unhappiness to be found over at the news post. (Which hilariously includes a reminder that permanent accounts are going on sale.)
But that's not all! More hilarity ensues when the LJ Design Team posts again and clearly ignores the complaining.
Oh, Livejournal. What WON'T you do?

02:01pm - It's Not Easy Dreaming GreenAt discussion forums for George Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", a mostly innocent OP made a small mistake. You see, one of Martin's characters, Jojen Reed, has dreams that come true, and he calls them his "green dreams." Another character, Prince Daeron Targaryen, has dreams that come true, and he hasn't called them anything as far as we know. OP Kevin Lannister speculated they were much the same thing, then typed the fatal sentence:
He was world reknown for his drunkeness but his "green dreams" seem very un-targaryen to me and after a reread it seems he might have more to do with the story than he seems.The thread, which has very slight spoilers for George Martin's "A Song Of Fire and Ice" books, stays polite until here, where Mister Manticore is brusque about Daeron's dreams not being green dreams. Another poster Denver jumps in to defend the Original Poster, martialling all the forces of formal logic to put Mister Manticore in his place.
( Given what your written words are, I cannot prove the A is a viable description of your comments, because there are no actual signs of 'A' (i.e., no signs of any tactfulness), which is a necessary condition for proving a positive. )
The thread gets increasingly cranky (for example, Saddam Hussein and the UN weapons inspectors are referenced), until Denver scores a huge rhetorical victory by tricking Mister Manticore that he owns logic books.
( 'I only read about it on the internets' )

12:23pm - Opus Endingmusic: Mike Oldfield - To France
Berkeley Breathed's popular comic strip Opus has come to an end. The author had informed the readers through the strip and interviews in Salon, that it will all end with Opus finding his 'final resting place' in November 2. Many speculations were had through those weeks on where the said final resting place will be. (There was even a contest for people to guess it, on BerkeleyBreathed.com. The winner would have $10,000 donated to the animal shelter of their choosing.)
The last page was posted in Salon, the given time. However, the last panel wasn't. The readers were directed to go to www.humanesociety.org/opus in order to view the last panel showing Opus' fate. But they couldn't find it there, either.
People were not pleased
( I've been waiting for TWENTY TWO MINUTES now )
Soon, the panel is up for viewing.
Again, some folks are not pleased:
( 'maudlin crap' )
Berkley later responds in the comments section.

07:52pm - DANTE BASCO SHIPS ZUTARA! OH NOES!!!Pulled from a mouse over at
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif){kind=small}
wank_report So, some Zutarians in the Avatar fandom are putting together an animated redo of the Avatar finale that is more friendly to their ship. And a lot of people are just like “Whatever, they can do what they want”
Well then Dante Basco became involved by apparently agreeing to lend his voice to the project. (The project apparently is being mainly organized over at Deviantart)
And the Zutarians are happy and gleeful and excited, and everything is great and wonderful.
BUT WAIT!
The announcement gets posted over at Avatarspirit.net, and then the opposing shippers, Kataangers or whatever, go crazy. (The note, apparently ASN is going through maintenance, so the link may be on and off, i am going to try and screen cap if need be, but as of now the links are working.)
( Quotes and details under the cut )
As an added bonus, here is Dante Basco reading some lines from Zutarians, apparently he reads or says something about Mai being fat, and I am sure this is starting some wank up somewhere but I am a bit too lazy to really try and find it.

11:19pm - Taylor Hicks fans wank again.mood:
confusedSo, remember this entry? I had just forgotten about it myself -- but it rises from the ashes like some drunk-dancing, gray-haired phoenix!
Taylor Made Soul (TMS) is closed. Adora the webmaster says:
"We are certainly not as active as we once were, many people have lost interest or moved on to other things and those who are still enthusiastic fans are in limbo, waiting for things that Taylor has planned for them in the future. As myself and many staff members are also drained and ready to move onto other things, it seems that now, when things are slow and it will cause as little disruption as possible is the best time to go."
Makes sense, right? Surely everything is on the up and up with this, and therefore no cause for drama, right?
Right.
A blog crops up called True Feelings On The Closing of TMS. Accusations fly about various things, such as...
Mods posting as Taylor Hicks!
Mods being JELLIS HATERZ!
PM screenshots!
And, of course, mods being blamed for TMS Moles, which brings us back to our former wank. The Circle of Wank, guys. It moves us all.
Old mods (who were banned by Adora for whatever reason) pop up to defend themselves, here, here and here. There are more from them in the comments.
Oh, and F_W is mentioned.
I don't understand what's going on anymore, so let's play Kick A Former Mod instead. (Thanks to this post. I guess.)

09:50pm - Tales of the Abyss Wank. With assburgers. Juicy assburgers.Oooh...hello fandom of mine...you have been well behaved until now.
It starts over on the Tales of the Abyss LJ comm where
laryna6 posts a wiki-diagnosis of fictional character, Jade Curtiss. For those who are unfamiliar with the fandom, Jade is a magnificent asshole (tm). According to
laryna6 and her diagnosis, Jade has ASSBURGERS. She goes so far to say that she and others suffering from it need more exposure and links the asperger community in the post.Commenters disagree.
Some highlights:
Jade doesn't seem the type to use that as an excuse for bad behavior
You're reading too much into this
I think he's a sadist. NO. YES. NO.
You're an idiot! Quit projecting your problems onto a fictional character!

12:36am - "I admire Adolf Hitler for his speaking skills..."An incredibly popular furry artist named Adam Wan (aka Zaush) decides to put a sculpture of his character up (VERY NOT WORK SAFE) for auction to try and raise some money. It is, for those not able to click, an anthropomorphic wolf with a removable loincloth containing a TOY SURPRISE (and by that I mean a penis). He sets the reserve at $500.
The highest bid by auction's end is $490.
neil137: "i'm sorry to hear that you couldn't get what you wanted for it, but the best bid was 490$...how is that unacceptable? >-> guess im amoung the chuckling crowd v.v"
Zaush: "Ok, so let's assume I spent 60 hours on it, which is only about a week and half of, and I know I spent more time on it than that... at 500$ that is $8.33 an hour. So I'd be selling a labor of love for minimum wage? I make more than that in a few days at my work, so what is my incentive to sell this for that little?"
Shigoto:"The stigma in this situation is FURRIES period. The fandom is natorious with the phrase "i would but i dont have money" If i didnt know better the fandom was comprised almost entirely of hobos and beggers....."
Zaush:"Or kids living with their parents, not really making an effort to better themselves, because they think they live on the internet."
If you can believe it, this subject has spawned over two hundred comments.
( More amusing quotes about the high quality/lack thereof of endowed canine sculptures go here! )
ETA:
"Going through the comments on my previous journal, it seems like a lot of people have titanic amounts of shit-talking to get out of their system. If the high reserve amount I set on a personal item is their new excuse for telling me I'm an arrogant piece of shit, then they probably need REAL issues in their life to be upset about.
Those that think I was selling that sculpture to "make money" are pretty much missing the point. I wanted to generate some cash to get me by until the first paycheck went through at my new job. I set the reserve to a high enough amount that I wouldn't be disappointed to see it go, because I really didn't want to see it go, but I didn't need the money so badly that I'd settle for less. If I showed the sculpture off, and said it wasn't for sale, people would lambaste me for being so egotistical that I wouldn't sell it. The way I see it is, I set the reserve as my own proxy bid, and won my own auction. I'm pretty happy I did.
I admit I can be a little full of myself at times, and need people to put me in my place, but some of the things you people say are obscenely hurtful. Do some of you think I'm not a person, that I'm just a symbol of everything you want to hate in life? It's probably liberating to spout such textual diarrhea at me, either in my submissions, journals, or behind my back in LOL forums. After all, I can't even defend myself or get mad at you without "tarnishing" my image like some kind of politician, so I have no way of winning, right?
This experience has taught me several important things:
Furry fans...
1) are pretty fucking mean when they want to be
2) love free stuff
3) usually don't have any money
4) love you one minute, hate you the next
5) for one reason or another, prefer to be anonymous
To put things into perspective, I don't do furry art for a living. I really shouldn't care much what other people say about me in this fandom, but what I hear doesn't inspire me to keep giving. The primary motivation I have to draw furry art is the enjoyment and enthusiasm others show for what I publicly share, so when I constantly have to roll with the punches, what's the point?"
ETA the Second: HEY. Bet you thought this was over. Well, not quite.
Sonderjen decided to make a little statue of his own in honor of the Zaush debacle!
Zaush's SO is not pleased.

11:40pm - For the Spanish-speaking Wankas, the Convention Organizer who dares his "enemies" to work for himmood: Candy-Coated
Since just pimping the Fandom Wank in Spanish could be seen as rude, I have to at least bring some of the scarce wank we can compile.
So! To the fun!
Ken Masters (not his real name, but he seems to hate it anyway) is a Venezuelan convention organizer who run Osecon, renamed Shin Osecon since an... unfortunate... installment who went wrong. Ken is well known between Venezuelan otakus for his allegedly greedy ways and his hilarious outbursts, who range from insulting fans of american comics and anyone who doubts his numerous and outrageous claims, to catfighting with the married couple who organize Avalancha (another convention, this one with an trow-all-fandoms-in-it approach but still overloaded with otakus) by three years in row, to defending the most disorganized installments of convention by reclassifing the failures as special features. In FW_es we know the dude very, very well.
So, why I bring the case of an batshit insane man who wanks in a language most of you don't understand?
Because of his latest outburst to date: Daring some of his most outspoken critics to plan some special entretainment for the next installment of his convention, under menace of RL permaban.
That, after comparing his event with the Comiket. In a way that translates "Japanese fans camp from the night before to go into what is basically a stadium filled with small tables of paper vendors and a terrace for the Cosplayers. WHY VENEZUELANS CAN DO THE SAME FOR MY LIL'
Oh, by the way, some of those critics? Ken Himself kicked them out from the latest installment of his convention.
There are short answers to his dare (in the original thread) and some long ones in a couple of blogs (complete with sporking of Ken's OP), but all can be translated in the same statement: "Thanks but no thanks, and by the way, go fuck youlself".
That doesn't forbid Ken from go back to call those refusers "cowards" and some other niceties in all those threads of comments, while doing the
This isn't Bit Of Earth, but dear, I never had seen such a kerfurfle around a convention...
The thing was cut short, and is a bit of old by now, but the ones who can read spanish can go and see how Mr Masters lose his temper again, and again, and again, while all the people just laugh at him.

04:45pm - Chancery Stone discovers Nora Roberts, guess what happens next!I'm going to rip this straight from
wank_report because the Mouse summarized it perfectly:"Small wank so far, but I'm sure Chancery won't disappoint us.
After Stone's debacle on the Amazon romance forums, Chancery discovered Nora Roberts. And immediately finds her so silly and her writing so horrible, she can't HELP but write a big long post on just how LITTLE Chancery thinks of la Nora.
http://danny.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/0
Also, in the comments, to prove to everyone that she really DOESN'T CARE AT ALL about Nora, Chancery goes to her local library for some of Nora's books. Because she COULD REALLY CARE LESS. The butthurt is continued in her next blog post, wherein Chancery cares so little about Nora and her success that she psychoanalyzes Roberts' home life, motivations, and lack of strong female influences in her life.
http://danny.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/0
It would have just been left at that, perhaps, if Karen Knows Best, the former blog that complained about the Amazon wank, hadn't picked up on it and posted their own butthurt on behalf of Nora. Now that people are paying attention to her tantrum, Chancery will inevitably ascend to the peaks of Mount Wankalaya never before scaled.
http://karenknowsbest.com/2008/10/01/can-y
*applauds mousie*
The only things I'll add to this is that Chancery added another post in which she tries to spoof Nora's writing, with hi-fucking-larious results, and she found that last link the mousie gave.
I would've put this in
clairvoyantwank , but Chancery trying to spoof Nora's writing just put this one over the top.Edited again to fix wacked-up HTML. GODDAMN RICH TEXT TAB.
Bride of ETA: There's now some bonus wank/rage in the comments of Chancery's post on being spotted by Karen. I don't know if it's related to Karen's blog going down or not, but some people clearly think so.
Son of ETA: Karen's blog is now back up. Leading theories are lasers, monkeys, space lasers, space monkeys, or space laser monkeys or us wankas overusing metered bandwidth.
Bride of the Son of ETA: What the shit? (from a new comment, made today, in CS's first post)
Revenge of the Bride of ETA: Speaking of batshit comments, there is now delightful catfighting in Chancery's post about Karen. Particularly beautiful (emphasis mine):
ItsASecret, why do you all have an obsession with me changing? Do you have problems with people changing on you? Is this a fear of werewolves, vampires? Did your mother have a sex change and become your dad? And there is no facility to screen comments on Blogspirit. All I can do is delete them. Would you like me to delete yours? Would that help you feel more special? Try not to look so paranoid. It's an ugly trait, and you're already trying too hard. You can't win, you know.
Don't worry, I have screencaps in excess should CS go on a deleteathon.
ETA with a twist of lemon (i couldn't resist): I think this deserves an ETA of its own for sheer fucking irony. Chancery's latest comment on this post:
Of course you "don't have an obsession with anything" about me, ItsASecret. And of course you "are not trying to win". And we do know why you keep posting "stupid comments". That, we do. However, maybe you want to try and learn not to "protest too much." Fails to convince.
And does anyone "disagree with me on the internet"? All I hear is the same sad assortment of 'insults' followed by "oh Chancery, never change", all the time, every time, over and over, endlessly. Not an 'argument' in sight.
Lastly, in the wild, giddy impossibility of one of you actually managing to think up something resembling a "disagreement" - why would that damage my "sparkling reputation"? (Thanks, by the way)
Do you ever think before you speak?

08:36am - Good Old-Fashioned Fanboy OutrageMoving this from ClairvoyantWank because of the ongoing fanboy rage.
An ANN that Zac didn't purposely start! *shock* Every new season, ANN has an Anime Preview Guide that has different reviewers watch an episode or two of a new series and give it a review. That also means that show defenders will jump into the forum and call the reviewer an uninformed idiot if they give the episode a bad review. Casey's review of Clannad ~After Story~ caused fanboys to jump in and defend the show's honor.
Casey's Review: It seems exceedingly difficult to justify the existence of a bishoujo anime series like Clannad that, while long on big-eyed, big-busted heroines, is woefully short on the fanservice.
greyhawk: No more difficult than the existence of anime and a reviewer called Casey Brienza, I must add, but that would be ad hominem, oh noes!
Casey's Review: The story operates under the assumption that you already know the plot premise and cast of characters...
...which is quite a long time but still way too quick for any newbie viewer to glean real backstory from current events...
greyhawk: This is where she's starting to pull crap out of her ass. Is she saying this because she hasn't watched the first season, or because she's pretending to be a newbie viewer? For your sake, let's assume the latter, so she's actually caring for the people who, in their infinite wisdom, believe that nothing ever happens in a whole season and thus decide to jump to the second one? Oh yes, there ARE such people, and I AM telling them to either stop watching or shoot themselves in the head and die. Anyway I must applaud her for making it look like KyoAni's fault.
Casey's Review: Although this anime series seems to be going for a modest elegance, the absolute best it ever achieves is inoffensive mediocrity.
greyhawk: I just love weasel words, they make you look more intelligent (read: fail) somehow.
...
tl;dr note: when you bash a series, do it right, don't make yourself look like a sorry loser. I could care less about the series, but the stupidity was so breathtaking that it grasped my attention. Nice trolling! Just personal opinions, rite? Was I unnecessarily rude? I don't know, I was just imitating some certain reviewers.
Zac: Jesus christ, some of you need to settle down. It's a cartoon.
Enjoy your ban. Anyone else getting ridiculously personal and nasty because they're mad someone didn't like their favorite cartoon will be banned as well.
The rage doesn't stop there and to make things worse, Zac is not only on the forums but now trolling with a Clannad review of his own. He didn't start the wank but that doesn't mean he's not going to fuel the fire.

03:32am - Ryan Lochte Gave Me Chlamydia! TOTALLY TRUE!mood: Mildly Amused
music: Liz Phair, "F**k and Run"
Over on ontd_olympics, brand-spankin'-new user kristixkupcakes (journal now deleted) posts a tl;dr entry (also now deleted) titled "MY SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH RYAN LOCHTE." Her long, sordid tale of a disappointing hookup with the US Olympic gold-medal swimmer includes the following highlights:
( I'm doing bodyshots off Ryan and everybody's in a deep drunken haze )
Again with the sympathy and the "omg, I totally knew he was a douchebag!" At least until kristixkupcakes posts again:
MY SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH RYAN LOCHTE -- MORE.
So I've been an avid watcher of this community and ONTD and I've finally joined here and noticed how everybody's gaga over the kid I slept with on my birthday and I think you guys should know what happened because your opinion of him will change.
And then, behind an lj-cut:
you just got punk'd.

USE A CONDOM!
The comments EXPLODE. Accusations of sockpuppetry and mod involvement abound, and there are calls for bannination, as well as the usual "OMG, you guys, have a sense of humor!" Again, this one's been bahleeted, but there are screencaps for downloading: before the post was unlocked and after it was unlocked.
Finally, like all good wanks, this one's wrapped up with a mod post claiming that the whole shenanigan was the result of a "chat that got too out of hand." Things seem to be settling down for now, but who knows? Maybe Nastia Liukin will eat someone's baby, or Usain Bolt will turn out to actually be a cyborg! IT COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN, PEOPLE.

04:31pm - Sleezer: World Domination TourPART IV: ATTACK OF THE 404 ERROR
The rebel forces at MLL got their bus ads (at least two of them, which is like 5%) Notice I'm linking to the images at BWP, because the
There are rumors and speculation that Sleezer and Kate are in the MLL chat and kick out everyone who tries to pop in.
Kayspleen who donated all the money for the ads was banned from MLL as were JTF, evilyn, and lila. Mod Reuben quit and was replaced by
There is a fun philosophical discussion on the nature of hate over at BWP.
Will the forums come back up? Will we ever find out how much the ads actually cost? Will we learn if the kind of bus the ads are on makes a difference? Will we find out if Sleezer actually ate any of those pagan babies? Stay tuned...
ETA alpha:
rijane has more dirt on Sleezer deleting a huge chunk of the forum late last night.ETA beta:: Leeser caught lurking at BWP??
ETA gamma: Ex-MLL mods offer pretty damning evidence that Sleezer skimmed $10k off the 2008 con money.
ETA delta:
rijane explains about lawyers filing charges in this mess. ETA epsilon: More con $$ shennanigans.
ETA zeta: SLEEZER SAYS MLL FORUM DOWN FOR GOOD!
edited to remove link to chat transcript because it violates F_W rules. You can find it if you dig around at BWP, but I am suspicious of the empty brand new journal.
ETA eta: I smell bullshit. I'm not the brightest bulb in the hallway, but this reads like one of Sleezer's supporters pretending to be a mouse and "leaking" info to us. YMMV.
ETA theta: www.lisagerry.com/ includes lots of MLL caps and all sorts of fun and damning evidence!
ETA iota: BWP has gone to registered users only for the off-topic forums. So none of these links work now. YAY? I think that concludes this wank unless Sleezer brings the forums back and explains it was a social experiment or something.
