Someone posted this on Whitechapel earlier. I have no idea where it’s from, other than that it’s obviously supposed to be a capture from a Facebook page. Whoever "Shawna Van Ness" is, she/he is a genius.

This might be cute if it was narrated by any other voice than the one they chose. Enjoy.

Some very random items of interest:

Yes, it’s already time for a new edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 44), set to happen this coming Monday (September 6) at Cafe Pause, with the regular start time of 20:00 — as always, the cafe is reserved for the event from 19:30, so feel free to come early. Although the SNOW Magazine Cafe event ended this past Monday, I’ll bring out the participating magazines again for anyone who didn’t have a chance to browse through them.
Also, there was some sort of error when I created the Facebook event page, and so this is the correct one (if you receive a message about cancellation, that’s for the extra page it created).

French-language edition of LOCAL, published by Delcourt, out this week. I was too excited to wait for comps, so I ordered a copy from Amazon.fr

From her comments here: http://edgychristianfictionlovers.ning.com/profile/ShawnaVanNess …it looks like this is the work of a 4channer who hacked her Facebook account. Oh how I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when “Manon Clare Bushman” read this.

from the above page:
“I am recently recovering from identity theft. My profile was hacked and changed by a malicious anti-Christian hacker who found me here through my (now defunct) facebook page, which he/she used to send profane and malicious messages to my friends as if they were from me.
The police are involved, but it is unlikely the perpetrator will be apprehended. If this happens to you, please print off the malicious content before deleting your page/information. The Sheriff’s dept/police will ask for it.”
her Facebook account is gone, yet an old version is still cached @Google. however the amount of details visible isn’t much.
hmm. Tasty :D
I think the line used in your title is my new favorite thing.
It’s from Lamebook.com, Warren.
All the Facebook grabs that have been floating around for the past two weeks were channers hacking Christian fundamentalists on Facebook and other places. More words here.
Agreed with Todd, you see this kind of thing on 4chan hourly now.
That is the most brilliant thing ever. The thing that slays me about her website “Edgy Christian” sounds like miss thing is already in satan’s sweet grasp!

4chan (/b/) Hacked a christian dating site about 2 months back and has been dropping “Facebook bombs” since then. Sure has been making for interesting screen caps.
That is so funny!
That is so wrong and it made my day.
I am genuinely very thankful for you for bringing this to my attention, warren. It’s both great and cruel in fantastically generous, yet equal measures.

HAHAHAHA! Soooooo funny! Thank you thank you thank you.
I’m going to be a bit of a curmudgeonly killjoy and say I feel kind of bad for this woman. This actually has been bugging me all day. I think it was the bit about her kids. Obviously, close friends and family didn’t really think she and her husband ritually murdered their children while high on PCP (and those that did were able to learn otherwise pretty quickly), but I’m sure there were people who maybe only knew her on Facebook who were pretty freaked out by it. Again, I realize she got the word out quickly that this wasn’t her, but still.
I don’t know. Maybe I’m getting old, or I’m just tired, or this was one more thing at the end of a crappy week, but this really bothered me. I clearly don’t get the whole 4chan hacker culture, because I don’t see the appeal in waking up one morning and deciding to just shit all over a total stranger. I know, I know. “Welcome to the Internet, Chris. Did you just get here?” All I could think of was how horrified I would have been if it was me, and someone had hacked my FB account and put up a post about how I’d just tortured my daughter to death. And then having to deal with the logistical pain in the ass of the whole thing…
I’m not explaining myself well. It’s just… I know I should find this funny, but instead it makes me really sad.
