aviv_b sent me this link:

HERE IT IS

to an article about the Save Ianto Jones campaign, which is interesting, not for the logic fail of the "100,000 fans" claim, but mostly for the fact that in all of seven comments, already an in-fight has broken out between the various factions of Iantofen.

PLUS, THEY DON'T MENTION PONIES AND I HATE WHEN THEY DON'T MENTION PONIES, SOMEBODY GO OVER THERE AND MENTION PONIES FOR ME.

ETA: I don't know who you are, saucery, but thank you for mentioning ponies. You could have added a link. :P

LOL, that's an in-fight? You should see my cats in the morning. :P

Worst. fight. ever. Still needs more ponies. I give you a more lulzy fight until this one takes off... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzFa5jrw9UY It wouldn't let me embed. I'd have even given it a festive green border. :(

Um, now it didn't recognize line breaks...hmmm. lj fail or Erinn fail?

Ponies pimped

Don't worry lovely - I'll pimp the ponies. ;-)

But so lulworthy that the scrap is spilling over into the regional press.

Stop Press:
Have pimped the ponies on the Argus site, but I notice the following message on the "ianto jones wants a pony" fundraising site.

"For Ianto Jones. And the ponies. Donation by Eve 16/12/09"

Eve? Eve Myles, perchance?

Bettws represent lol

How come Ianto is pink and living in your icon, but blue and deddibones in your sidebar?

[caledonius72.livejournal.com]

I think some people with a morbid turn of mind asked redsharlach for a rigor mortis version. The naughty peoples...

PS - love your icon. I wonder if Jack's just described another tentacle sex encounter and Gwen & Ianto are just going "EWWWW"

Nah. He was showing them his homemade Weevil porn.

Oh, right, that was me. Except I had to rush out pretty much the second I posted it.

Well worth the registration, I say.

Glad you used it. I couldn't do the math to figure out how large a multiple personality disorder 9 hysterical women would have to have to become 100,000 people.

You know what I love best about the article I didn't even bother with the comments is that they left out the last bit of GDL's quote. He finds it flattering but a bit disturbing. I guess when you are trying to make crazy people look good, you can't put disturbing in the article.

I would say It's Nice that someone finally put together a positive article about the effort (with Ponies in the comments, even), but it looks like someone else has linked to that mess of a pdf, to give interested readers a chance to be repelled by the idea (or at least confused by the mix included in that download). :/

[tencrush]

I've just contacted the authors about that. I'm fucking shocked it's still up, and shocked that people are still linking to it like it was a good idea.

[fide-et-spe.livejournal.com]

Oh God how mortifying that someone in the comments linked to the dreaded report. In fact the article was fine, they should have just let it be. Who really cares about the numbers, the point was well made.

[kuroi-hemlock.livejournal.com]

Not only that, someone apparently posted an updated version of the report which is 45MB in size. Now who's really going to download a huge pdf file like that?

Wonders never cease. *eyeroll*

Off to enjoy the batshit! heh
