I have tried. I have desperately tried to restrain myself because offering my thoughts on the wank du jour serves no purpose. No purpose aside from making me feel slightly less frustrated so - here is a greatly shortened version of my rant.

I've seen it pop up in various guises and whereas I understand some of the 'in reality, men of Dean's demographic use this language' aspect of the argument, some of the ways I've seen it be presented just makes me want to bang my head into the desk until the pain stops.

The link. :)

I tried the links a couple of times.

I only got as far as 3 bytes of the video file.
Help.

Why can't the rest of the fen be this logical, I wonder.

Am just going to keep using this icon, I think, and hiding in j2 fic until the crazy goes away.

You make some excellent points. Alas, I fear my only rebuttal would be

I cannot allow that to stand. I must refute it thusly:

♥ It really is such a pleasure to have you on the list. And if I wasn't at work, there would be SO MUCH WINCHESTER PICTURE SPAMMING GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

[fleshflutter]

Right back at you. And work does interfere most terribly with Winchester Spammage. ♥
