amusedSomeone started
johnxjohn as a part joke-part get out the vote thing for Kerry/Edwards. I found out about it from fandom_wank and couldn't resist clicking on the link to take a look.After blinking at this LJ community for about 10 minutes, I started laughing hysterically. The OTP icons, the RPF snippets...too fucking funny for words. Any minute now, someone's breaking out the "Kerry/Edwards is love" rainbow banner, I just know it.
Oh, wait...too late:
Kerry/Edwards is love.
It's a little twisted, but there is some genuine information buried in all of this (links to wonkette for example, political cartoons, news stories, links to endorsements for Kerry/Edwards).
Personally, I'm not sure what to make of it. Squeeeing fangurls and fanboyz wringing all the slash they can out of the Kerry/Edwards campaign as a form of raising political consciousness strikes me as a very, very odd way to go about things.
Didn't stop me from friending the community, tho. I generally shy away from OTP-real person-type things (with one notable exception in
annakovsky because I'm liking her odd Xander-Dom story, which is a mix of BtVS fanfic/RPF), but this johnxjohn community just strikes me as one of those things I couldn't make up if a I tried (and if I did, someone would accuse me of going overboard).Truthfully, the person who started
johnxjohn is more than a little shocked by how fast word of this community got out and the number of people now friending it. Read for yourself hereHonestly, you have to wonder how the Kerry/Edwards campaign would react if they knew about this. Hopefully they'd be as amused as I am.
I just finished unpacking all of my CDs as JesusMaryandJoseph I have a hella lot of them. Plus I think I might be schizophrenic. From Bach to Abba to the Ramones to They Might Be Giants to Goth collections to Rashid Taha to Deva Premal and everything in between.
I'm just a little frightened of myself.
Right...back to cleaning...
