And we thought personal attacks from fandom were bad. Try this.

From Chrissie, who was quoting someone else:

A law student at UPenn decides to throw a contest to find the "most appealing women @ top 14 law schools". They pull photos off Facebook and encourage people to take photos of ugly classmates (not exactly what they said - but it's too nasty for me to type out here). This hits AutoAdmit, which is pretty much the biggest law school forum on the web, AFAIK.

Threads of "OMG she's an ugly h0r" begins. The girls protest. And get shat on with things like "oh they asked for it". If you google for any of their names, apparently now the threads involving their real names are so high in Google that no law firm will hire some of them.

I can't personally stomach trying to go through the forum and finding all the threads, but excerpts are posted at ReputationDefender.com. I don't know if these are the worst/best. If they aren't - I lack the imagination to come up with worse. The "T14 whores" one is especially impressive.

UPenn has been complained at, and have said they have no legal standing to do anything. Those who run the forum also refuse to do anything.

This reminds me of a website called... I think Red Dot or something, that served mostly Chinese students in UK universities. There was quite a lot of wank on that forum, too, but not to this sort of scale.

Finished Megane Rangers 5 last night. Had to take a chunk out and use it on another chapter later on. XD Will make some edits and see if it's ready for posting today. I am going to Hell.

I want to be horizontal today.

2 more days until their_white_day posting begins! I'm so nervous. >_<

Thank you, AutoAdmit Asshats for being yet another group that gives social networking a bad name. And thanks Chief Asshat Cohen for being a spineless wanker.

When I first heard about ReputationDefender I was kind of incredulous that such a thing was necessary, but now I'm just disgusted.
