Fail to the world

[misscam]

I'm going to have to agree with lizbee - bite me, John Howard. Who paid you to campaign for the Republicans? Last I checked, the American people was in charge of voting for American President and you're Prime Toad of Australia, remember? You might hope for a certain outcome - as I do, and the opposite of yours - but you're supposed to represent Australia and Australia has no business in the US election. FAIL.

Talking about fail - "satire" about why rape is a good thing doesn't go down too well. Helpful fint - satire is actually meant to be funny, and not just offensive shit hiding behind pretense of humour. FAIL GOOD SIR.

Dear Europe, I apologise in advance for the Eurosong entry Norway intends to inflict upon you all. I didn't vote for it. I can only surmise that those who did was drunk on biathlon glory and general Saturday boozing. Granted, most of the competition was crap too, but hello? That ain't gonna win at all. That is not a good song, or a good singer. WHY NORWAY WHY. I'm going to have to fail you on this one, beloved country. Sniff. WHYYY. (Judge for yourself.)

(ETA: I am however very glad this didn't win. OW.)

Random fail - wtf are you doing whispering me on World of Warcraft to ask if I wanna sex, total stranger? Not to mention you failed to make it clear if it was me or my character you wanted to hump. You fail at shag.

Magne of A-ha makes a poem for Anna Nicole Smith. Hmmm. There are days I do wonder if some of the celebrity shit of this day and age is a fail of society or the mass media, that's for sure.

CBS starts a CSI Wiki. So my question is - will CSI fandom manage to fail at sanity and turn it into a batshit shipwar arena somehow? The comments on the GSR section are somewhat moving that a-way. Bets, anyone?

I'll be in the bar.

I totally want to write a Grissom/Catherine Grissom/Sara Catherine/Warrick thing just to see if it might spark wank. Baaaaad Cam.

Spain hasn't chosen its candidate for Eurovision yet, but believe me, the song will be worse than yours. After all, we're the country who sent gems like Europe Is Living a Celebration or Bloody Mary and thought they were going to win *eyeroll*

Not that I think the Eurovision jury cares much about quality, though... but hell, isn't fun to watch?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

OMG, I had forgotten that first one. That one is bad. Baaaad. The Bloody Mary I do remember, but it was far from the worst last year.

Eurosong really isn't about good songs at all, I agree. But it is nice when the worst is not your own country, heh. It is a totally awesome show in its total thrashy glory. I loves it.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Ooooo that Wiki is going to turn ugly rly fast.

You should do it because I would love a fic like that with all my shippy little heart.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The odds are quite good on that, yes.

Would you protect me if I got flamed?

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

I can just see them arguing over whether or not that scene at the end of that season (I don't remember when it happened, but it was recently!) was actual canon proof of a relationship or if Grissom was just letting Sarah use his bathroom because hers was under repairs or something.

I would be like that space-age anti-flame-y material that astronauts and firefighters have!

[me2you.livejournal.com]

It'd be porn though, right?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, they've already had that argument. Actually, if you want to look at some of the reactions to that particular scene, look no further. I documented a lot of it for prosperity. Warning, some of it veers into batshit.

You would need it! In CSI fandom, shipping is SERIOUS BUSINESS. Mustn't betray the OTP OHNOES.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Of course. I fail at resisting putting shagging in my fics.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

I... They... It...

I am so glad I wasn't participating in CSI fandom by that point. Way too much SRSBZNZ shipping!

[cedara]

You're right, the song is bad.

[crusherbevdr.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't take that bet for anything. Its just a matter of time before it rapidly falls into bedlam over there.

I'm tempted to start shipping Liz Vassey and Louise Lombard, so far there isn't any ship war with those two. LOL

Oooh, I'd love to see that fic. I'm sure it would start major wank!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*pats* I know, I know. That's why I started the wankshelter bar for those driven to drink by the way things went bananas. And I would not be surprised if there's more fun to come as this seasons nears the end.

Learn to laugh at it and read the porn, that's my advice.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Chick singing it is an actress and not a singer, and it shows. (Hears?) Dear oh dear.

Course, we had worse in the national finale as well, so I should probably be grateful it wasn't the worst that could've been.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

I loves me the pr0n!! CSI was the very first fandom I was really into, and the very first fandom I took a break from because the crazy was starting to overwhelm me. Ahhh, good times!

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

Write it! Quadruple dare you!!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

If CBS got anyone keeping track of that site - given its theirs, very possible - I fear for their sanity. And perceptions of fandom. Oy vey.

Hah. I'm sure somewhere there's someone ready to go after you if you do.

No doubt. Some GSRers would be bound to feel I was taining the Geeklove with Cath drama and some GCRer would be certain to get all upset how I ruined the PureJoy with OMG!Sara. DRAMALAMA.

Less people seem to get upset about Catherine/Warrick, weirdly.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, me and CSI fandom have had a bit of a to and fro relationship as well. I've taken breaks because it just got... Well, CSI fandom can be CSI fandom too much, basically.

But it seems to lure me back every time. Siren show.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

OHNOES NOT THE QUADRUPLE DARE

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

Where are all the exclamation marks? If you must "oh noe" you have to do it properly!!

[falena]

*watches youtube video, cringes and try not to burst into tears*
Et tu Norway?

Anyway, I think I need to start a letter-writing campaign to get Italy into Eurosong. It's not fair that we should be deprived of this crack-filled, tawdry musical atrocity. I trust that you will help me not to miss out on the good crack.

I must be living under a rock, because I had no idea who this Anna Nicole Smith was, before she died. I wonder what that says about me.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Totally not fair. Not fair of Italy to deprive us of their spectacular hideous entries either. This is an European unifier, the day we come together in the name of bad taste. No European country should stay outside. Heck, Israel even pretends to be European to get in. I'm totally behind your campaign.

And this Norwegian entry should surprise no one, since we have a history of suck. I thought we were getting better, but nooooo. Nil points.

With YouTube, I'm pretty sure the crack can be shared with the whole world this time. Plus, last year BBC stream their broadcast of it online. So you should be able to take part, yes.

You pay more attention to important things in life?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They're on holiday.

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see...

Check gmail. Did it go through?

[melliyna.livejournal.com]

*thirds lizbee* I want John Howard to go away and STFU already. I've already been hating on him for years (the striking down of the ACT's gay marriage bill was just the latest) but this is it.

*also encourages you to write porn*

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

It is like junk. You think you've kicked the habit, and then your friend sidles up to you with just a quick rec and it sucks you right back in.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Did what go through? LJ notification?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

This time, it was the wank that drew me back in. CURSES.

But yeah, the fanfic is evil in its addictive power.

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

No, my email attempt # 2946724627649872.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

He did what now? Maybe I've misunderstood the Australian set-up, but don't the states have certauin spheres federal government can't butt into?

You're all bad. Bad, I say.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Um, no. I'll look through the spam filter tomorrow and see if it's there. I'm too tired tonight.

[melliyna.livejournal.com]

ACT = territory and therefore the federal government can basically overrode whatever laws they make because tis not a state. In any case I'm feeling very happy in the thought that over in the US 99.9% of the people here have no sodding idea who John Howard is.

*attempts to look innocent of encouraging the writing of porn and fails badly*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Duh, I should've remember that from when I lived there. Still, FAIL.

John Howard shot to infamy in Norway during Tampa and is still remembered. Well done him, I guess.

Hah! *pins note with 'Perv' on your back*

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

*Thwacks Howard around with a large fish* He never learns, stupid arrogant bastard. I am truly embarrassed for my country that he got re-elected twice. *sighs* I have to vote this year, though, so I shall try to change that.

In the meantime: Obama strikes back and both Democrats and Republicans tell Howard where to stick it.

[hadria.livejournal.com]

The best part of the wiki is the dillyrob page. Where the fuck did this purejoy name come from anyway? It's dumb as fuck.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

When even Republicans tell you to STFU, maybe it is indeed time to stuff it.

I shall cross my fingers for your vote counting :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

As I understand it, pure and joy is the meanings of Gil and Catherine. (Or vice versa.) I'll take it over Grillows anyday. Mushed ship names should be killed with fire.

[littlezink.livejournal.com]

It's never good when the Republicans and Democrats are united in any opinion....isn't that how we ended up in this war in the first place?

It's like siblings....it's okay for you to beat the crap out of each other, but heaven forbid anyone else try to do/say anything. Then it's a united front of ass-kicking.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Nobody's tried to sex me yet on WoW. I am depressed.

Maybe it's cos I'm a dwarf? Damn society is all about looks. LOL. :P

I played a couple of hours on the US servers last night. (figured I paid for it, might as well use it.) EU is much better. US seems much more crowded, and there are corpses *everywhere*. I tried a night elf this time, and that tree! I was not the only one who decided to take the quick way down, judging by the corpses surrounding it, too.

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

Ug. After reading that rape article thing and the anti-abortion thing right after it, I think I need some alcohol. Give me a glass of red, please. You have any Australian wine at the Wank Shelter? The PM sucks, but the wine is good.

Damn.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

You know Obama's got the mojo if a foreign head of state is taking pot shots at him the day after he formally announces his candidacy...when the election's still almost 2 years away. (That's my Senator! *gloats*)

Most of the few Americans that know who John Howard is know that because they hate Bush enough to want to keep an eye on all his sleazy buddies.

[maureenlycaon.livejournal.com]

Fuck's sake. Our local libertarian paper the Orange Counter Register reprinted that sheep's abortion and was forced to apologize for it to their readers. Fuckers.

I totally want to write a Grissom/Catherine Grissom/Sara Catherine/Warrick thing just to see if it might spark wank. Baaaaad Cam.

*whispers evilly in your ear* Do it . . . do it . . . you know you want to . . .

[the-s-guy.livejournal.com]

You fail at shag.

Soda-through-the-nose-type ow!, dammit!

Note to self: do not drink while reading the CamJournal.

[sliven.livejournal.com]

Do I spot an Astro-theme going on in Eurovision? We had something similar. I have to admit it wasn't horrible, but it didn't make it to the finals...
We don't know who'll go to Helsinki yet, since this is a Eurovision-crazed country where Eurovision lasts all through the month (true!).

It's supposed to snow...

[(Anonymous)]

At least that's the report...

Supposedly LOTS, too...Yay!...

I'll send you a big box of it, MissCam...

BTW, I was watching a documentary about some ship that was being raised...Guess what government was essential to the effort?...

Norway...

Made me think of you immediately...LOL

ABS;)

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

lvl 10, baby! (shut up, I'm new. :P) Hopefully I can get to 13 or 14 tonight...

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

WHY DID I CLICK THE LINKS? I've had Europe Is Living a Celebration stuck in my head for DAYS. The horror, the horror! As for the Norwegian ones, I think I actually liked Rocket Ride better than the other one, even if the costumes were...odd...
