 | 08:39 pm - Wow.
This is a fan-made World's Finest "trailer" featuring Tom Welling as Superman and Christian Bale as Batman. It is awesome. Superbly well-made, and damn if I don't want to see that movie immediately.

 | 09:52 pm - What, seriously?
TV version of Roland Emmerich's '2012' in the works.
Seriously? I'm finding it hard to believe there's even enough material for a movie, let alone a whole series.

 | 08:43 pm - I refuse to return your stolen tablet until you buy me a better one
Over on FurAffinity Kitara makes a journal about the theft of her tablet (the original journal is on the bottom half and the update is on the top half). She says she lent it to Recca_se_li and it was then either stolen by Razr or Recca lent it to Razr. Either way Razr refuses to answer any of Kitara's emails or text messages on the subject. Kitara then updates same journal (top half) when she manages to contact Razrs roomate/master/girlfriend/sockpuppet knowstobite. Knowstobite insists that the tablet was given to Razrs by Recca as a parting gift and that he will only return it once Kitara gives him another tablet of same or better quality.
Recca says Razrs has also stolen from him and owes him money
ICEman goes on Heidi patrol and internet lawyers
Kitara posts another journal where she shares a conversation she had with Knowstobite The conversation is tl;dr but the gist of it is Knowstobite thinks Razr has done nothing wrong by willfully accepting and keeping property he knows is stolen and again insists Kitara sends a new tablet to Razrs before she receives the original back.
Knowstobite shows up to share her two cents
Knowstobite also posted a journal on the subject of the tablet
The edited version
Screen caps thanks to Nightfurson of the original version in which knowstobite tries to raise money to buy Razr a new tablet.
Screen capt comments from Knowstobite's first journal where we find out Razr just made over $200 dollars on a commission and can easily buy himself a new tablet with that money.
the furbuy auction (half a NSFW picture)
At some point Recca also started taking donation money to buy Kitara a new tablet even though Kitara explicitly said she doesn't want a new one, she wants her old one back for sentimental value. Questions are raised as to what happens to the donation money after Kitara receives her old tablet back. Unfortunately I can't find the original post where Recca says this, just a comment referring to it.
There is much internet lawyering throughout.
ETA: There appears to be a happy ending after all Kitara posts a new journal saying she got the tablet back.

 | 09:23 am - This wank based on true events. [now with baleetion]
I read the strangest rant today. How strange you say? So strange no one can agree just whether it's even a rant at all!
OP replies to requests to clarify, a few times, while a brave idealist attempts first contact, before realizing only a sucker would try to breach such impenetrable walls of WTF.
A random potshot at someone's fic-writing skills prompts the best simile ever.
The more persistent commenters dig through the layers of Bizarro-talk until they uncover the truth: OP is... 'anti-criticism'?
PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE SMILEYS.
And shattered idealism is shattered.
ETA: aslongasitlasts has studied the people of FFR. He's like a magic 8-ball, in a way.
And ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) wank_report has some too.
ETA2: Modly intervention. But he wants to be banned. No, really.
ETA s'more: Post got blanked and F-locked. Comm membership is open, though.
The ETA Apocalypse Now: Comments are being baleeted at random, and the original post is replaced by the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's the final troll blowout, people.
ETA Captain Obvious:: Oh, so that's what started it. Taunting the mod, and then deleting comments (A no-no in ffr^2). He's banned now, but you wouldn't know because the mod comment that said that is... deleted!
ETA Cry For Justice: There are 409 Google caches of the wank still with pre-baleetion comments. Saving the ones I can before they update.

 | 06:35 am - Newsletter Recruitment
My life has been INSANE this week, but before I head off to work (early, mind; I'm pulling overtime today), I wanted to point out that the three Doctor Who-related newsletters are all looking for new personnel. The Doctor Who newsletter, who_daily, has its recruitment post here, and the Torchwood newsletter, torchwood_three, has its recruitment post here. Both posts have more details and information. The Sarah Jane Adventures newsletter, soniclipstick, doesn't have its recruitment post up yet, but should soon.
We are looking for both regular, weekly editors and backup editors who are reliable and committed. It also helps if you're still interested in the fandom. *grin* There is a fair amount of crossover between the newsletters; during major fandom events, like this summer's new Torchwood episodes or the upcoming Doctor Who specials, many of the editors will cross fandoms to help out. So while you may sign up to be a Torchwood editor, you may find yourself volunteering to help out with the DW newsletter during times of need.
If anyone is interested, they should go to information posts linked above and follow the instructions to sign up!
Now I need to dash to work. Hopefully I will survive.

 | 01:15 pm - This wanklet was brought to you by the letters T & A...
Caution: There are some NSFW links in the forums.
So!
A while ago on the ToughPigs forum, there was discussion about American Apparel making Sesame Street shirts.
Most of the comments were "...huh..."
One such shirt was, as I call it, Big Metro Bird. Then most of the comments became "...ew." followed by a rousing chorus of "hipster douches!"
One poster asks how this is any worse than this Miss Piggy center-fold. (Yes, you read that right.)
So, ToughPigs bloggers look around while the forum talks about the merits of Sex Sells and how America just have to get over Naked Boobies. Finally ToughPigs comes across an ad featuring a girl with her snootchie hanging out, while wearing a Sesame Street T-shirt. They blog, with some scathing words to American Apparel.
And then, it turns out Sesame Street, in fact, did NOT agree to do this team up with AA, even though the spokespeople for AA insisted that they did...
Comments are generally amusing and shocked (Shocked!) and of the "My childhood!" variety.

| 02:11 pm - I don't think they thought it through
You know, I still don't get why people post icons to a community, but then say they'll be locking their icon post in a few days but people are "free to friend them!" *eyeroll* Me, if I come through weeks or months afterward and see that, I'm just going to go looking in the icon posts that don't require me to friend some random stranger for access to the icons, you know?
Current Mood: bitchy
