The Big Book of Fandom & Internet Law/Jurisimprudence

March 24th, 2008

More mining my own old bookmarks turned up this old favorite – the Big Book of Fandom & Internet Law. And now they have a wiki!

jurisimprudence » Keriannes Law of Dramatic Irony

Kerianne’s Law of Dramatic IronyIn an online debate, the first person to accuse his opponent of spending too much time on the Internet and/or invite his opponent to “turn off your computer and go outside” automatically loses the argument, and should be subsequently forced to turn off his own computer and go outside.

Bookworm’s Corollary:
The first person to calculate the amount of time elapsed between her posts and her opponent’s replies, and conclude that her opponent has been sitting at his computer all day refreshing the page and therefore has no life, automatically loses the argument.

So, so true. This relatively newer entry caught my eye, though it’s not in the wiki itself.

The Gay & Slippery Slope
In any discussion about homosexuality, gay relationships, and/or same-sex marriage, should one side compare one or more of those things to/argue that one of those things will lead to:

1. Rampant llegal and/or harmful activities such as illegal drug use, pedophilia, or bestiality
2. Legalizing marriage to one’s close relatives, to pets/animals, or to inanimate objects
3. Threatening the rights of heterosexual couples and marriage
4. Destruction of the family unit in America
5. The eventual dying out or destruction of the human race;

The person who made the comparison automatically loses the argument and shall be thwacked over the head with (Link NSFW) this blunt instrument (giant dildo) wielded by a frothing, bug-eyed Lewis Black, until such time as sense is beaten into their head. Repeat beatings may be administered if the subject loses consciousness before sense enters. Actual penetration with said blunt instrument is permissable if the subject uses the “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” argument in their comparison or claims that equal rights for homosexuals are “special rights”.

You know I feel like there’s only one side of the gay marriage argument that is planning on using those. Fortunately, it’s not my side. Whee! I win!
