Live action Voltron looking more real

The long-rumored live action Voltron just got more real, with a deal announced by ImageAtlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven, Richard Suckle and Steve Alexander. The 1980s Voltron series was based on two unrelated Japanese anime series Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV, which were dubbed and dumped on US tv airwaves where I saw them as a child and had a Voltron sticker book back when Panini came out with them every month or so. Ah, Panini. But will the movie compare to Panini? Or the original cartoon, which was ultra violent and edited for the US? Who knows. But Voltron totally serves bad guys on Robot Chicken, so we got that going for us. Still waiting for someone to resurrect Go-Bots.

Wingnut Web – More Resistnet Laundry

Resistnet.com is making so much dirty laundry they have unbalanced the washing machine and it is now rampaging throughout the basement destroying everything in its path. A veritable orgy of tinpot moderators have decided to go ban crazy and even cause drama with paranoid militia groups. All in all, they stick by dale henderson despite the obvious signs he is filled with more baloney than planet Oscar Meyers. Thanks to Frankie who tipped us off.

Darla starts us off with a “Get the Hell out!” message to the “spies”

Unite and don’t question Resistnet while we try to learn to question things. Also much support for Mindy in her efforts to make the GOP irrelevant in Nevada.
le4.jpg

dale the crazy mofo chimes in to let us know the purges on Resistnet somehow inspired dozens of messageboards that dale isn’t even a member of to purge their members. How can they not see dale henderson is frakking insane?

Cry me a river for Sharon Rigdon

Reading Resistnet is why you need surgery in the first place. Brain surgery.
le7.jpg

Exhibit A: dale henderson. Except surgery won’t cure his brain.
le8.jpg

Phil somehow thinks mods banning people because of disagreements is a Liberal conspiracy to take down the powerful Resistnet. Also added irony that he has an American Indian as an avatar, considering what happened to them when they tried to resist, perpetrated by people who probably have identical political beliefs to Phil.
le9.jpg

streetsweeper shows up to vaguely threaten current members and ex-members of Resistnet. Keep talking tough, keyboard warrior! Those animated gifs surely show how much of a badass you are.

Uh, Irene, the racists aren’t being eliminated, it is the people the mods don’t like. Maybe some of them are racists (it is possible, after all, it IS Resistnet.com!) but that ain’t why they are banned!

Wingnut Web – Resistnet Dirty Laundry Edition

Some days it pays to be in the right place at the right time. And on those days, you see meltdowns of epic proportions. Resistnet.com is going through such an upheaval at the moment thanks to the actions of a select few power-tripping moderators and one crazy nut poster. The actions have resulted in almost a dozen people banned and threads deleted left and right. Luckily for this Wingnut Web, I was there to capture the action as it unfolded, and keep the evidence after these posts were erased. Welcome to immortality on the internet, Resistnet.com infighting!

To start out with, poster dale henderson (the wackjob behind the Pray for Princess Palin posts) has continued to run trains of crazy all over Resistnet.com unchallenged and supported by moderators despite the fact he is obviously shoveling more cowdung than a dung-powered cowdung shoveler. Posters eat it up, but a few realizes he is nuts and try to call him on it. And then they get banned and deleted. We join our story late at night after another massacre has claimed two more doubters of dale henderson’s wisdom, and Dee, Admin Asst chalked up more marks on her banned board…

Poster Susanna shares private threats from Dee, Admin Asst as a topic starter, knowing full well she will be zapped into oblivion by the moderators

Mindy dares not question the wisdom of her masters, because of us here at Wingnut Web laughing at them. Of course, we are laughing at Mindy at this moment!
tw3.jpg

Susanna gains some more concerned posters, but dale henderson never sleeps and is there to fight them with sarcasm and name calling!
tw4.jpg
tw5.jpg

dale is also threatening posters via Private Messages and is still supported by the moderators!
tw6.jpg

dale henderson retaliates with more name calling!
tw7.jpg

ValleyForge1777 seems to want no censorship, except about fifty exceptions,
tw8.jpg

Hey, no old ladies in our Junior High School squabble, Flo!
tw9.jpg

Sharon Rigdon tries to calm down the situation, and gives us a handy background summary of what got deleted that we missed.
tw10.jpg

dale henderson is now claiming Atlanta was to be destroyed in a terror attack (which didn’t happen, for those of you too lazy to know Atlanta wasn’t destroyed or sunk into the ocean) and only a few people dare to question him
tw11.jpg

Susanna now attacks the whole Pray for Princess Palin nonsense, while Patsy refers to our favorite racist Ann
tw12.jpg

Mindy declares herself a member of Team Dale
tw13.jpg

Harry Adams gives us the names of the people banned, and posts more doubts
tw14.jpg

More banning info

Here is a shot from another thread about the bannings, with Dee, Admin Asst giving her reasons

Resistnet gets bitter
tw19.jpg

We dare Resistnet.com to ban us!
tw20.jpg

So what happened? They all got banned, the threads were all deleted, and Dee, Admin Asst and dale henderson continue to post freely and openly on Resistnet.com. Yes, they purged their non-crazy members to protect dale henderson, so he can continue to give them gems like this one:

Between the “shellfish” spelling or the retarded Switzerland story, Resistnet.com sure made the right choice….

………
to give me fodder for more Wingnut Web articles! MuHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
