Today's Awful Link of the Day...
 
For those who don't know, somethingawful.com has a daily feature, the Awful Link of the Day, which showcases the worst of the internet. Well today's is pretty interesting... (censored because I don't know what the standards concerning profanity are)

Quote:

Brinatello's TMNT Page (thanks mike.jpg) - Sites like Brinatello's TMNT Page make me feel good about the amount of time I've wasted writing sh***y go-nowhere short stories, playing video games, and watching crappy Kung Fu DVDs. Brinatello has written not just one but several complete epic works of fanfiction devoted to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The amount of work that has gone into these dull, confusing, and disgusting novel-length pieces is staggering and in many ways comforting. Because no matter how long I spent trying to beat the annoying fa***t last boss of "Crimson Seas" it was time infinitely better spent than Brinatello's.

"Mike." Sam took over. "She's been cursed with some sort of witchcraft. It's something to prevent her from seeing or even mentioning you guys. I wanted to go to my room to look in one of my books to see if I can help her."
Michaelangelo stared with interest. "You study witchcraft?"

"Wicca, Black Magic, White Magic, Glamours, but yes, some forms of sorcery. I know one or two thinks in the spellbound world. If I could just get a hold of what he used, there might be a chance."


I CAN'T STOP READING! What shy and boring character will the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles become creepily obsessed with next? Will it be one of Brinatello's friends from junior highschool?! A girl can dream!
Just thought you guys might find that interesting. For the link to the actual page and a sample of the fan art, you can visit http://www.somethingawful.com

I wonder if "Brinatello" could accuse the webmaster of SA of libel?

ratmankey 10-06-2003 08:04 AM

No, SA has been threatened with legal action many times, and every time they had no case at all. It's the internet, you can say what you want.

Well they have no right to attack other people like that. That's stupid. And them playing that game they like isn't a hobby? The guy likes TMNT and writing fan fics? So what. Everyone likes to do something. And they charge for people to go on the forums? 10 bucks to type on something like this. I think I will stick with a wonderful place like this and not some site that is a big waste of time.

Ah! Holy crap! I'm a relatively avid supporter of Something Awful (Photoshop Phridays and Comedy Goldmine rock!) but I always wondered how long it would take for a TMNT fan fic site to pop up on the Awful Link of the day. They've been taking shots at fan fic site lately.

Worse comes to worse, it'll blow out her bandwidth for the next few weeks and generate some nasty comments in her guestbook (which, from the look of it, it has already). But as some say, there's no such thing as bad PR. Who knows, it could generate some genuine interest in the site/genre.

Machias Banshee 10-06-2003 12:32 PM

My God, thats awful!!! :evil:

I have visited her site before, and I personally think it is very interesting for TMNT fans to look at...

thats an awful thing for that guy to do...

Misfit 10-06-2003 04:30 PM

That's horrible. I've read some of Brinatello's stories and I really enjoyed them, they were well written and made for good reads. Those people over at "Somthing Awful" are jerks to slate an author like that. Don't they stop and think about how Brinatello might feel if she saw that? Guess not.

And I've read TMNT fics that are WAY worse. Some fics out there are so horrifically bad I wish I could have them erased from my memory Men In Black style. Sadly, however, this is the real world and those fics will stay in my mind forever. :goofygri:

Brinatello's website is very good. I do judge various websites on their content, links, etc.

when I judge a website in my mind or for yearly awards.....I never critize harshly about the website.

Nturtle 10-06-2003 05:17 PM

Bleh,that was preety harsh.

I've never been into fan fics but doing that to somebody's site like that is cruel.

Jephael 10-06-2003 06:34 PM

GRRR, I have a right mind to find these jerks who're picking on my pal Brina and tear them a new @$$hole! :tmad: :tmad: :tmad: :tmad:

Kali 10-06-2003 08:09 PM

I know, it's horrible. And the things people are posting in her guestbook... But she's gotta know that we all love her work and the opinions of these worms aren't worth anything.

Turkituck 10-06-2003 08:44 PM

WTF?!?!?! I just went to Brinatello's site and some arse has hacked it! I left her a message inthe guestbook and wheni went to read it, my screen was covered in popups that siad "this s**t sucks, F*g!" and it froze my comp!
If anyone has her email, someone tell her about the hacking quick!

*grabs her wand* Begone, thou website deamons!!!

Machias Banshee 10-06-2003 09:07 PM

My God, this is ****ing ridiculous!!! :flaming:

Ugh, its got a tubgirl pic up now... :dead: I think I'm gonna be sick...

GK Punk 10-06-2003 09:49 PM

Ya know, Im all for free speach on the 'net, that guy can say whatever he wants about her site... but the fact that he actually has people HACKING HER ****ING WEBSITE MAKES ME SICK. Can she sue? OF COURSE SHE CAN. The reason Something Awful always gets out of the law suits, is because people e-Mail threatening to sue.. If she actually had lawyers call the guy up, and subpoena him, he'd be screwed.

Leo656 10-06-2003 10:02 PM

What a bunch of bullsh*t. Brina's a cool chick, and she's been a big supporter of my own work. That's disgusting that someone would do something like that.

People are such assh*les.

GK Punk 10-06-2003 10:14 PM

I wish a fate upon them, that rivals what happened to Kane tonight on Monday Night RAW.

Tetsu Deinonychus 10-06-2003 10:21 PM

I don't know who Brinnatello is, but that guy's an asshole for hacking her site. I hope she does sue, and win!

GK Punk 10-06-2003 10:23 PM

I'm personally sticking with The Destroying a limo with the writer inside. (CRASH IT IN TO AN 19 WHEELER!!!!)

Machias Banshee 10-06-2003 10:24 PM

hmm..maybe I'll pay the guy a visit...


*flares claws* :evil:

Tetsu Deinonychus 10-06-2003 10:30 PM

Not a bad idea!
Flourishes laser-sharpened, hydrolically-enhanced, steel toe claws! :evilgrin:
