"I do love knitting patterns."

Let's take a trip into the distance past of... November 3rd, 2008. California and Florida all had a bill for the legalization of gay marriage up for vote. The majority of the country was shocked in horror that gay marriage was now illegal in California and Florida. And they weren't just shocked. They were PISSED. Many people in California protested for a repeal of Prop 8, or its loving nickname, Prop H8. Buzznet's own Mark and Rich were arrested for... protesting? I can't remember, but here's a blog/round-up on the entire ordeal. The repeal kept gay marriage illegal, but those married during the time when it was legal (i.e. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DiRossi) would still have their marriage recognized by law.

This year, the gay marriage ballot situation was somewhat the same, but a little different. Our stars this year were the state of Maine (which, like California, had gay marriage legal for a while) and my own home state of Washington. While Maine was going to hope to make it officially legal, Washington had a bill that I have mentioned before, where gay couple have all the rights heterosexual married couples do-sick leaves to take care of their partner, etc.-except for the right to call their partner their "wife" or "husband".

The bill passed in Washington, making it a pseudo-victory I guess. I mean, they can have rights that married couples do, but they can't get married. I guess it's more of a "yay, sure whatever" instead of a "FRICK YEAH LET'S GO CELEBRATE AT OLIVE GARDEN!"
However, the situation isn't great in Maine. The bill passed, and now gay marriage is illegal. No word yet on whether anyone is demanding a repeal.

First, I don't get why anyone would vote against gay marriage, because the conservative ads against it are ridiculous. They act as if gay marriage will be the end of the Earth, and I don't think these groups want gays to look at each other cross-eyed.

It really is disappointing that its so hard to let gay people have the same rights as heretos. Really Maine, is it that hard to let gay people when you already run the biggest sinfest we like to call LobsterFest? And yes, the Bible does say that seafood is wrong. Leviticus, anyone? The Bible also says not to wear wool, but what does nearly everyone do every winter? Therefore, quit with the Bible excuses. Because then we'd have to outlaw wool and seafood.

Neil Patrick Harris wasn't kidding when he declared gay marriage will save the economy. Suze Orman, out lesbian and economic expert explained the entire thing on her show.

Of course, some people would ask "But domestic partnership is legal across the country. Isn't domestic partnership basically the same thing?" To answer that, I'll turn it over to Lucy "Xena" Lawless:

Come next November 3, if you can vote and your state is putting gay marriage up for vote, I urge you to vote for it. If you can't vote, and/or your state isn't putting it up for option, then take it to the Net, and join Facebook groups, sign petitions, etc.

Thank you for reading this.

You've waited all month, and here it is!

First, let's remember who has control over the winners: Not me. Kay?
Second, absolutely no abusing other people or me. Mark has been reading Eclipse recently, so he's just itching for a banning.

All right! And now, here we go!

 

First up is Best Halloween Episode of a TV Show.

The winner is... The Simpsons for Treehouse of Horror V! Representing the Simpsons is Homer Simpson.

 And our first drunk of the night! In only the first category! Truly, that is the power of the Halloweenies!

Next is Best Supernatural-Themed Book.

Our winner this year is Harry Potter. Representing the cast of Harry Potter is Albus Dumbledore.

Thank you Professor. We truly respect you.

 

On the topic of Harry Potter, we have our award for Best Witch or Wizard, which goes to the resident HP physcho, Bellatrix Lestrange.

Now see kids, this is what happens when the Banhammer gets a hold of you.

 

Now we have a performance by our winner for Best Halloween Song, the residents of Halloween Town singing "This is Halloween"

It is now time to announce the winner for Best Spooky TV Show. We had a good nomination list this year. But who was it that won? Ladies and Gentlemen...Buffy Summers representing Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

 

 Next up is Best Werewolf, which goes to...Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter series!

Wait, is Kanye even nominated? Oh, right, he is. Well, haul his stupefied ass out of here and get on with the show.

 

We now have our award for Best Ghost. Our winner has a hard time getting some respect, considering everytime he tries to apply for the Headless Hunt, he is denied. Wonder why? The winner is Nearly Headless Nick!

 

Our next award, for Best Halloween Movie goes to a Disney movie about three witches who feast on children so they can live forever. The award goes to Hocus Pocus! Representing the cast of Hocus Pocus are the Sanderson Sisters.

Okay, how about we not accept awards like that.

 

Next award is for Best Vampire, which is for a new nominee, who is part of a popular television show. And is good-looking. The winner is Eric Northman from True Blood!

Well, that was surprisingly anti-climactic.

 

While we're on the topic of vampires, we had a showdown between two nominees for Best Vampire Hunter. Our champion, Buffy Summers, went up against a newbie. Unfortunately, our challenger, Gabriel Van Helsing has won!

Well, Buffy did kill Edward Cullen, which is way more of an accomplishment than winning a Halloweenie. Amirite?

 

And now, our last award for the night, goes to our only new category this year, Most Unintentionally Scary. It goes to someone tuly terrifying. Before she let herself go mad, she had an amazing voice, and made catchy music. Now...just...well...Amy Winehouse.

Thank you, Amy, for your brilliant words of wisdom.

 

And thank you all for your voting and nominating!

These awards have been brought to you by Delicious Candy and Crappy Comics.

So yeah, I missed "All Dogs Go To Heaven" last week, and I sincerely apologize for that. For that, I will have one xtra week for Christmas/Winter movies. How's that?

Also, please think of some Christmas/Winter movies that I should review here. Kay?

In case you have no clue what Mickey's House of Mouse is, here's the basic info: Minnie owns a sort of nightclub for Disney characters only, and Mickey is the host. Goofy is the head waiter, Donald is the maitre'd, Daisy is the...secretary...and Max is the valet. They show cartoons, all pertaining to the plot. For example, one show was about Max wanting to get his driver's liscense, so there were cartoons about cars. Mickey's House of Mouse spawned two direct-to-VHS/DVD specials, called Snowed in at the House of Mouse, and the Halloween special, Mickey's House of Villains.

It's Halloween night, and all the villains have turned up for some fun. But they're not doing their usual House of Mouse fun, where they drink, crack jokes, and Gaston talks about how great he is. Jafar creates a plan to take-over the House of Mouse, only letting villains in.

As cartoons play, the villains start scheming, with Minnie a little suspicious, and Mickey none the wiser. Meanwhile, Donald is trying to scare somebody. Just anybody.

At midnight, Ursula grabs Minnie, Cruella grabs the lights, as the villains sing about how they want a cool place to hang out just for villains. They release bats, chase their foes out, change the sign to read "House of Villains", and change the color scheme of the place. All within 2 minutes. Damn, are those villains good.

The gang try many attempts to get the place back, but keep failing, while the villains show cartoons where Mickey, Minnie, and Donald are scared shitless, and nearly die.

They go for one last round of beating the villains where Mickey...re-enacts Fantasia? When that seems to be failing, Aladdin comes into helps out. Sort of. Watch the anti-climax here.

Overall, this was all right. I applaud the attempt to bring back the cartoons, and bring characters from Disney movies in. However, this special...there are some reall good cartoons ("How to Haunt a House", "Lonesome Ghosts") some weak ones "Mickey's Mechanical House") and some just plain weird ("Dance of the Goofys"). As for the plot. It is a clever idea, and the villains shine in the movie.

However, the climax is just sad. I mean, if all it took was that lamp, why didn't Aladdin just show up with the lamp while the villains were trying to take-over? Was he stuck in traffic? Was he doing something stupid with the Genie? And for that matter, what kind of OOC there, huh? Aladdin from his own canon would've handled that shit himself. But here, he's all "Mickey, use the lamp! I would do it myself, but I've got a haircut!"

This film recieves a C+. Could use some improvement in the climax, Could've chosen some better cartoons, but has some good parts.

Cartoons:
Trick or Treat (1952)
Mickey's Mechanical House (1999)
How to Haunt a House (1999)
Lonesome Ghosts (1937)
Dance of the Goofys (1999)
Donald Duck and the Gorilla (1944)
Donald's Halloween Scare (1999)

Now, for some special treats for you guys. Here is a video series on teaching the "Thriller" dance. Now you can show everyone how do properly do the "Thriller"

And, something completely un-Halloween, Why is the rum gone? and I've got a jar of dirt.

This week has not been a good week for fat people. And considering our second part? Anyone over 100 lbs. falls into this category.

First off, we have to take a look at Stephenie Meyer's biographical manga. Sure, we've already complained that she is the anti-feminist, that J.K. Rowling should've deserved one of these before S. Meyer, but that isn't nearly as annoying as this new fact.

Here is Stephenie Meyer in real life:

 

And these are pictures of Stephenie Meyer in her comic book:

 

Ashly also pointed out that Stephenie's lips are smaller. The only thing I can think of that is kept the same is her breast size.

Now, we all know how shallow Stephenie Meyer is, considering the only fat character in the Twilight series is Charlie. Edward beauty is described 100+ times in Twilight alone, Bella considers herself a goddess after being turned, you get the idea. Stephenie still uses that skinny shot of her that she stole from some kid on MySpace with their display name as "Sara Suicide".

But this is way more. These are supposed to be books about female empowerment. These are about praising female heroes in today's society, for their talents, not their looks. So how is this supposed to help by trimming her into half her size? How does this reflect on the fact that one of today's biggest female heroes is so insecure that she needs to be drawn into the smallest size?

While Stephenie Meyer didn't start writing at the weight she is now, she certainly wasn't that skinny in all of her old promotion photos.

 

Also in fat news, Ralph Lauren has fired a model for being too fat. This model is the infamous photoshopped model, who was shopped to extreme ridiculousness.

More pictures! Here is said model in reality:

She is like, so fat, right? At 5'8 and 120 lbs, she has got to have cankles! 

Fillipa Hamilton, the model shown here, has been modeling since she was 15. That is, until they fired her for being fat. Oh, and when they photoshopped her to look like this.

God, this is worse than the seventeen-year-old recovering anorexic being sent home from Paris for being too fat.

 

As a teenage girl who is over size 6, I'm not feeling all that great. Someone who is (for some reason) considered a female hero can't even come to terms with her own weight, and tries to conceal it as hard as she can, and a model who is taller than me and weighs less than me is fired for being fat.

Oh? Are you going to complain that this is late? Well, it is not late. Time is just...early.

Aladdin is doing some fun, as a villain named Abis Mal is introduced, who is played by Jason Alexander. Abis has a group of thieves, who doesn't like him. Aladdin stops Abis (setting off a cycle in the TV series), and gives many riches to the city of Agrabah. Apparently, he lives in the palace now, with Jasmine, Sultan, Abu and Rajah. Meanwhile, Iago gets fed up, escapes the lamp, and heads off for Agrabah. Aladdin goes out on the town before a big dinner at the palace (by which I mean, a dinner with...regular family members...but apparently it's special!) and sees Iago. He saves Aladdin's life, and Aladdin repays him by forgiving him for that one altercation from the last movie.

As Aladdin prepares to convince Sultan to give Iago a second chance, the Genie returns, as things are really back to normal. Sort of. At dinner, Genie is entertaining them, as Iago crashes the party, just as Sultan announces Aladdin's new position as Royal Viser. After some yelling, Sultan reluctantly agrees, as Jasmine is mad that Aladdin lied again. Then Iago repays Aladdin m=by setting things right.

Abis finds the lamp, rubs it, releasing Jafar. They reach an agreement. Abis can have his three wishes, if he helps him destroy Aladdin. Jafar squeezes his way back into the palace, making Iago apart of his plan. Iago convinces Aladdin and Sultan to go away for a nice talk, without Genie. Jafar captures Genie, and Abis captures Sultan. Then Aladdin returns back to the palace, hoping to clear things up with Razoul. Jafar as Jasmine (Jafasmine) imprisons Aladdin, sentencing him to exucution the next day. All's going well, right? Iago switches sides, breaks open Genie's case, as he saves Aladdin just in time, as they devise a plan to get rid of Jafar once and for all, by destroying Jafar's lamp. Iago destroys Jafar's lamp, and they all live happily ever after. Aladdin steps down as Royal Viser, stating he'd rather see the world, and star in a TV series. Jasmine joins him, and all is well. That is, until Jafar returns AGAIN for an episode of Hercules: The Animated Series.

Over all, it's not bad. The animation is not good though. The songs are okay, there is one part where the plot just kind of...dissolves. But other than that, it's all right. This movie served as a kick-off to the TV series and kind of feels as if it was created for that purpose. While it's not bad, it's clear the superior Aladdin sequel is Aladdin and the King of Thieves, which isn't even superior to the original. However, I suppose Aladdin 4 is worth mentioning.

Songs:

"Arabian Nights"
"I'm Looking Out for Me"
"Nothing in the World"
"Forget About Love"
"You're Only Second Rate"

I am so fed up with the blatant rudeness of this generation. These kids need some manners.

And trust me, I go to high school. The majority of kids are assholes.

So, everyone here, rant about the teenage rudeness of this generation here. Tell stories, headdesk, facepalm, just don't threaten violence. Believe me, I wish I could, but we shouldn't be threatening people over the Internet. Kay?

So, here in Washington State, we have our own little domestic partner bill going on. Basically, a gay couple can get every right married couples have. Death benefits, sick days to take care of their partner, all the like. The only thing they don't get, is the right to be legally married. This should be enough for conservatives, right? Apparently, not so.
Opposition has come, with petitions, and signs reading "Protect Marriage and Children"

And this is where I get confused.

Can anyone tell me how ANYONE could reach the logical conclusion that gay marriage is hurting our children? Anyone at all?

In fact, if anything, it helps them.
Orphans can be adopted by two loving parents. Right?

If anyone could give me a logical explanation, I would be grateful.

Before I go on with today's review, I have a quick announcement to make.

Due to technicalities, I have moved the schedule around A LOT. The revised schedule is as follows:

• October 12: The Return of Jafar
• October 19: All Dogs Go To Heaven
• October 26: Mickey's House of Villains
• November 2: DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp
• November 9: FernGully: The Last Rainforest

After this will be all Christmas movies. So, on with today's review of An American Tail.

This is one of Don Bluth's good films. It was inventive, it was cute, and it was even more cultural. Even the main character, Fievel, has an accent.

It starts with the Mousekowitz dreaming about the utopia of the United States of America as they celebrate Hannukah. I always hate to be Betty Dreamcrusher in these cases, but being a foreigner in America these days is not fun at all. The only upside is you don't work in a labor camp. However, the family is Jewish, and they live in Germany. Well, can't really blame them for thinking America is the shit.

Aboard the ship, the immigrants break into a song called "No Cats in America." After the song, Fievel is thrown overboard. So, the mouse, who is the equivalent of a human five-year-old, survives and floats all the way to America. While there are no cats in America, there is a God.

Once he arrives in America, he meets a pedgeon named Henri, who encourages him to find his family via song ("Never Say Never"), and Fievel begins his hunt to find his family. After Henri provides Fievel a ride, we are introduced to Warren T. Rat, and Digit. They con Fievel, and then puts Fievel in a sweatshop.  Meanwhile, the other Mousekowitzes grieve over Fievel's "death", while trying to adjust to America.

Fievel escapes with a new friend, named Tony. They run into an Irish activist named Bridget, who Tony falls in love with. After learning that there are cats in America, the three go to Honest John to see if he can locate the Mousekowitzes. And then, we get another song, sung by Fievel and his sister, Tanya, called "Somewhere Out There", and if you haven't cried yet, this song will make you.

Fievel attends a rally against cats, and gets really bored. Like I am. Fievel helps conspire a plan, as his family JUST misses him. AGAIN. They all go to an abandoned building to build a "Mouse of Minsk". Tony and Fievel, however, are late, and Fievel gets captured by a vegetarain cat named Tiger. He is persuaded by Fievel and lets him go. Fievel's release triggers an alarm, as Warren, who turns out to be a cat, captures Fievel. Warren threatens to burn all the captives alive, but Fievel chases the cats to a steamer bound for Hong Kong. However, the fire traps them, as the Mousekowitzes encounter Tony and Bridget, who are looking for "Philly" (Fievel's American name).

As firefighters put the fire out, Fievel wakes up, believing to be an orphan. He surrenders to a miserable life as an orphan. Until he hears his father playing the violin, runs out, to actually see it IS his family. And they all live happily ever after.

This is actually a good film. It's original, inventive, shows what many of us consider America to be (a blend of many cultures), and just all around great. My only problem is that this film is very sad. I mean, the plot should tell you so already. But the movie is filled with many fake-outs, where the family JUST misses him by an inch, or Fievel thinks he sees or hears his family. I guess its part of the children's film philosophy that you can add as many sad bits as you want, but as long as you add a happy ending, the children won't have physchological damage.

Overall, I give this film an A-.

Songs:
"Somewhere Out There"
"Never Say Never"
"There Are No Cats in America"

It is September 30th, and while it may be late, you can never be too late to celebrate Halloween ALL MONTH LONG!

A new poll will be posted every Sunday and Thursday, occasionally on Tuesdays. If there is a conflict, I will have someone arranged to fill in for a poll.

Let's go over rules, shall we? Get into it.

"it's been proven in studies that being raped cures 96% of all mental disorders. it's only if you're okay in the first place that it causes problems. check the august 2008 issue of the new scientist."

This was a reply I got on a comment on the Dominos publicity stunt. Long story that doesn't have that much relevance.

I'm not sure if this is even a true story, but seriously, I quit living. This is just fucking terrible. Just so fucking terrible.

This is just fucking terrible. Excuse me, as I go cry for all humanity.

Today's Nostalgia Movie Monday will be cancelled, and added in a double feature for two reasons.

One, my auto-post is acting whack (still wondering if i's just my computer, or if I should alert Mark), so I couldn't do it before I left.

Two, because of leadership camp, I didn't have time.

So, I hope you all don't mind too much, and can forgive me.

Also, off-topic, but if there was any major e-drama that happened, you guys should alert me.

If you see this, please comment. This isn't just me trying to get more comments, I swear. I need to make sure it's working for NMM.

We've been so busy talking about BAD music on Buzznet, we forgot about the GOOD music. Well, no matter. Bring in the noise...

Did I forget to do last week's? I'm so sorry. I realy am. I tried to do it this week, but due to technical diffculties, I couldn't. So, we are skipping A Troll in Central Park and diving straight into The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea.

Ariel and Prince Eric give birth to a baby girl named Melody. Ariel apparently gave birth on a ship, and Melody's announcement is given in an opera-style. Of course, they use "Melody" as a pun for everything. Crap. Also, Triton's budget has increased and recent years, and now he has gold-plated gaurds to announce him. He also gives Melody a special locket that has her name on it, and when you open it, it plays a song and turns into an Atlantica snow globe. I've been itching for a time to use this, and now, here it is!

Guess who came to Melody's announcement party? That's right! Ursula's crazy sister, Morgana. She plans to avenge Ursula, and actually succeeds. Wow. That is until Ariel, Eric and Triton all save her. But, not close enough. To protect Melody from Morgana, Ariel severs ties with the ocean. Triton throws the locket into the sea, where it shall never be found.

Twelve years later, and Melody has an obsession with the sea. I'm so shocked. Also, Morgana now lives in a glacier, and can't stand to hear that Ursula is better than her (uh, that's because she is). She also refers to Melody as the "tool to Triton's undoing." Gee, didn't Ursula say something along those lines about Ariel?

So, Melody returns home, to her party of twelve-year-olds acting like they're in Pride and Prejudice or something. God. So, while Melody dances with a cute guy, Sebastian ruins the party, while the people who are only there to watch her fail laugh. Okay, she's the princess. If those people are bullying her, why doesn't she like, exile them or something? Also, if she really wants to fit in, why doesn't she try a little harder to, instead of whining "People think I'm weird! WAH!" and then remaining said weird activity?

So, Melody and Ariel get in a fight because Melody finds the locket that is crucial to the plot, and thus has broken the one rule Ariel gave her: Don't go into the water. Her life is like, so hard, right? So, she runs away, and is cornered by Morgana's minion, who convinces her that Morgana will tell her all she needs to know about the crucial locket. Morgana tells Melody that the locket contains her destiny, and then turns her into a mermaid. At least it wasn't in song sequence. Meanwhile, Triton starts a sea search party, while Eric has one on land. For some reason. I guess to keep up appearances. Triton turns Ariel back into a mermaid so she can help. Of course, this includes her returning to all her favorite spots from the first movie, while Melody is impersonating her own mother.

Now, the major plot kicks in. Morgana convinces Melody that King Triton's trident is hers, but Triton stole it, and she needs it so she can make Melody a mermaid forever.  Now, I'm going to pause right here and let loose a little thought. They try really hard to make Morgana like Ursula. I mean, she says similar phrases, the same "tentacles gather around her face, the same maniacal laugh, even the same voice actresses. There is only two differences: Morgana isn't as good of a witch as Ursula, and Morgana joined Weight Watchers. As if you couldn't tell, I prefer Ursula. More to love. Or more to love to hate. I don't really know what.

As Melody wanders off to get Triton's trident, she meets her two sidekicks, Tip and Dash, a penguin and a seal. They sing, and head off to Atlantica. While Ariel meets up with Flounder and his guppies, Melody, Tip and Dash have made their way to Atlantica. They steal the trident, as Melody's necklace falls off. Morgana's sting rays float by, and Ariel and Flounder follow them to Morgana's lair.

Ariel is just in time, as Melody gives Morgana the trident, and...Morgana acts even more like her sister. She imprisons Melody and Flounder, captures Ariel, and does some showing off as the new Queen of blah blah blah. Eric storms in just in time on his ship, as Morgana wrecks it. Triton and his gaurds that he got from his pay raise storm in too. Tip and Dash rescue Melody, who is now human again. As Morgana forces all sea creatures to bow down to her (ooh...threatening.) as Melody sneaks up, grabs the trident, throws it to Triton, as Morgana...stands there screaming "NO!" He freezes Morgana, and everything is normal again. All the sea creatures and royal people on land can be together again, as Melody remains human.

Overall, it was aight. Although there were definetely some inconsistencies with the animation. When Melody just emerges from the ocean, her hair is dry, but when she's up in her room, her hair is in a towel, and still wet. When we first see Flounder 12 years later, he has gained some weight. But, when he's trying to help Melody escape her cage, he has suddenly lost weight. Then, he gains it back. Also, if Morgana really wanted to be better than her sister, she shouldn't've joined Weight Watchers.

Music-wise, I'll admit the songs are good, though not as good as the original (the only two reasons I like the original Little Mermaid is music, and Ursula). The song I really like is "Adventurers Slash Explorers", mostly because it's kinda corny. You wanna judge the songs for yourself:
Here on the Land and Sea (finale)
Down to the Sea (opening)
For a Moment
Adventurers Slash Explorers

Thanks for reading this. If you disagree with me, I will gladly accept your opinion. However, being rude will immediately get you picspammed.

With Twitter, we always try to condense our thoughts into as many words as we can. So, I am going to give a recap of the VMAs in less than 200 words. Can I do it? You bet.

 

New Moon is melodramatic, Kanye West is a douche and Lady GaGa is...eccentric.

Jack Black is hilarious, it is MTV law to mention Twilight every ten seconds and Muse is kicking your ass.

Tyson Ritter is David Bowie's long lost son, and we mourn two deaths.

Lady GaGa looks like the White Witch covered in blood and Pink needs an OG badge.

Beyonce, Andy Samberg, and Jimmy Fallon are starting a Boyz II Men cover band, Beyonce is a sweet girl filled with sugar and candy, and Lady GaGa has a poor choice of dates.

Russell Brand still has it, and JAY-Z IS STILL ON TOP, AND ALICIA KEYS IS EFFING AWESOME.

Janet kicks ass, and Katy Perry...just...ugh.

Season 3 of Gossip Girl is coming, and it's time to update on what has happened, in case you forgot over the summer.

Let's refresh...

As of today, September 11, 2009, it is not only the eight-year anniversary of 9/11, but it is my third year on Buzznet. In case you are wondering, yes, I did intentionally sign up for Buzznet the same day of one of America's most tragic events, so people would forget about that, and remember me.*

Throughout the day, I've been wondering what to do to celebrate. Host a roast? Nah, someone might take full advantage of that and intentionally attack me, or someone else. Write a touching piece about some of my favorite Buzznet users? I don't have time, sorry. Highlight what I think is some of my best work? Too cocky. Then it hit me. What is the most entertaining on the Internet? E-drama! Here, I recount some of my favorite encounters on this site.

The names have been changed to protect certain people, and because I might be banned if I don't. I think. Would I be banned? Oh well, I won't test it.

First, I'd like to talk about an encounter I actually kind of started myself. I cannot link you to it, because I have been blocked from the page. Whose page you ask? Schmefree Schmar.
Someone went on to Schmefree's page, saying they didn't understand why people thought him "hawt". Instead of possibly ignoring the person, or saying "I don't care what you think", Schmefree attacked the girl, saying her mom smoked crack when she (the girl) was pregnant with her. Not only did Schmefree insult her mother, but basically said this made the girl ugly. The girl's profile picture wouldn't show her actual face at all. I stepped in, telling Schmefree to educate or fuck off, and the fans attacked me, and some friends defended me, and they attacked them. Schmefree attacked me, and a then-friend, and blocked a bunch of people. Mar-er, Schmark, banned a couple people. I think this event caused many scene queens to allow only friends to comment on their pages. I might be wrong. Either way, I am still blocked from his page to this day.

Next, I'd like to lighten up some newbies on an incident that is oft-mentioned on the site. The SchmamieSchmalifornia incident. I wasn't actually involved in this, but I will give what I think is the story of it. Basically, Schmamie started his annoyance on the contest "Be Big on Buzznet", where he was just a general douchebag. His entry in the contest was a video of him raking leaves. This has made so many users crack jokes. Then, he was caught for auto-adding. In case you didn't know, using a computer system to automatically add people is really bad. For this, he got banned.

Now, for a story of someone who got big hacking Twitter, who got his start by hacking Buzznet. I'm talking about the hacker, Schmikeyy. He seemed okay. He even had conversations with Schmark about HTML. Then, one day, when everyone got onto their Buzznet accounts, they couldn't. Whenever they went to their friend's page, or even their own page, a screen blocked up saying that Schmikeyy hacked into Buzznet, but for our own good, because a virus had spread there. It's not just that, but also on this page, he credited himself, and even gave a shout-out to some of his friends. He also shrinked people's friend's size down considerably. It took days for that to be fixed. Best believe he was banned.
Ever since, he's just been wandering around the interwebs, probably hacking other sites for the users own good. He really became known when he hacked Twitter, saying in an interview he did it because he was bored. Why didn't you just use that when you hacked Buzznet, huh?
Here, I actually have some links of it for you, brought to you by the lovely Kerri/HideDontSeek. You should add her. Links here, here, here and here.

Now, the most recent piece of drama. I call it the Schmokencyde Saga.
It all started when SchmikkyG ended her search for the World's Worst Musical Act with Schmokencyde. That started the age when typing the sentence "I hate Schmokencyde" caused you, your personal life, and your musical tastes to be attacked. It was a dark time, and is still dark time. Because certain fans just can't get over that some people just don't like Schmokencyde.

With that, I have reminisced about some of teh e-drama of the past, present, and future, of Buzznet. I have enjoyed my three years of Buzznet, and hope to enjoy many more.

"Oh gosh, don't get mad at me but I don't know what a wizard fight looks like in her (JKRowling's) head. I know what it looks like in the movies so I have to go on what it looks like in the movies. But here is the thing, if it's possible for a human to duck a wand being shot at them; a vampire is not going to have a problem. The fight would be over in .01 seconds because Edward would be across the room snapping his (Harry's) neck. He would be done. He wouldn't even have time to say his spell word. I'm sorry but Edward would win that one."--Stephenie Meyer on Edward vs Harry

Where do I start?
How about here. "Spell word"? WTF? Is "incantation" to hard of a word for you?
Why don't I add that the spell "Protego" protects from physical attacks, even from vampires.
Duels and fights do not necessarily have to end in death, you know. Also, I thought Edward was a super-pacifist or something, and wouldn't dare kill a human? He'd just treat them like shit.
How about I add that Harry Potter fought against Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world's Hitler and lived.

Okay, how about I just simply say this:
Stephenie Meyer, your characters are not "TEH LIEK, GRETEST THINGS EVAR!!!1!!!11!", they're not even hot shit. Edward is abusive, whiny, and unnecessarily rude to people who don't deserve it. Bella Swan is weak, whiny, immature, and also rude to others. Shut up.

You also have a lot of nerve to go on Pottercast and ramble about how your character is the bestest, and disrespect another author's work. Would you like to go on Buffycast and say that Edward would bitchslap Buffy if she ever stood up to him?

Stephenie Meyer, stop insulting fictional characters to make yours look better. It makes you look immature, and really doesn't get you any more fans. In fact, I think it gives you more enemies.

Any thoughts.

"Meet Me on the Equinox", the single Death Cab for Cutie made exclusively for the second installment in the Twilight series*, New Moon is a little closer to full fruition. They have released cover art for it, also. Check it out: Peep it...
