I'm a regular at the Godawful Fan Fiction site, where we devote our time to ripping on the absolute worst pop culture has to offer, from movies to music to media...and, of course, the most horrible fan fiction around. Sometimes the fics we rip on are disgusting, plagaristic, wildly out-of-character with their respective fandoms, or just plain stupid, but usually we're able to laugh at them all the same.

However, there's one fan-fic author whose stories can't be laughed at, simply because they're so inhuman, so vile, and so unbelievably evil that all they inspire in you is utter horror. This guy goes by the pen name "PRED," and he's an author of fan-fic that celebrates and promotes rape as something that should be the male cultural norm. (His stuff is so repellent that he was once investigated by the FBI, or so the story goes.) One long-running series of stories he does revolves around a Mary Sue/Marty Stu (slang term for "fantasy self-insert") character named Nick Bent, who can only be described as a misogynist serial killer for hire. The sickest part is, PRED portrays this guy as a HERO, which really burns the hell out of me.

In addition to the Nick Bent series, PRED has also written other pro-rape pieces like "Tiny Toy" (about the sexual abuse of a concentration camp cancer victim), "An Ode to Uday Hussein" (celebrating the Taliban's treatment of women), and an especially horrific manifesto in which he claims that any men who DON'T approve of raping and mistreating women are mentally ill. (There were also several Nick Bent stories that never made it to the 'Net because his homepage was shut down for reasons unknown. I'd like to say we're all the better for it, but too many of his works still exist....) Since every one of PRED's fics reflect his twisted worldview, it goes without saying that they'd probably give even Adolf Hitler bad dreams. But there's one section of narrative in "Tiny Toy" that really horrifies the shit out of me in particular:

Quote:

That night, I had nightmares .. happy laughing couples making
love under amber sunsets in lush fields of succulent clover. Children
skipping and playing over fields of tall grass with nary a predator in
sight. I saw myself old and in a large room with an old woman at my
side, looking adoringly into my eyes while a crowd of our children and
grandchildren encircled us in the cozy warmth of love.




This section he describes as a "nightmare" is actually everything I've ever dreamed about and wanted. To me, this is the stuff that makes life worth living. But to PRED, things like love, happiness, and family are the essence of evil, while rape, mutilation, torture, and murder constitute what he thinks should be every man's good life. I don't know about you, but this scares me to death. What kind of man would think that love and family is nightmarish? This line of thinking is so depraved that I can't make heads or tails of it.

At any rate, here are the GAFF discussions of the PRED fics (complete with links to the offending articles and quoted excerpts), including his notorious manifesto:
http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=135427#135427
http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=247&highlight=
http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=239

Read these threads all the way thru, especially the one on his manifesto. It contains some pretty horrific information on the man and his worldview, and it's probably the best explanation as to why of all the authors roasted at GAFF, he's the one everybody hates with all their being. This man is a sad excuse for a human being, and I pray to God that there are few in the world like him.

Before the potential flame-war starts, and in the interest of clarification, I'll ask: why aren't "repulsed by this jackass"?

I'm just not repulsed by mere writing. If I met him in person and he would try to practice this in front of me, then I'd be more repulsed. As a matter of fact, I'd be angry moreso. As well as justified to execute him.

You know, I'm actually tempted to email him on this. See if he slips up in discussion. I mean, me being a person who posts on the internet, I'd expect this to be a gag you know.

I'll just give that a shot.

Okay...I can understand that. Makes sense. But lemme ask you this: If you met him and, in the course of a conversation, he told you that he believes what he's writing and it's not done for shock-value, where would you stand then? He's not "practicing" it, per se, but he's made it clear that he follows that philosophy and mind-set.

I'd automatically not like him. And if he slipped up once in anyway near me, I'd feel justified to act on violence. But if he did nothing in my presence and I know (of course I'd never know for sure, but for sake of argument) he didn't do anything to anyone else that resembled what he thinks about, and only continued to write what he does and vent his issues on the internet, I'll pay him no mind.

One day he might snap, but until then, fuming over his earthly presence is just futile. Don't waste the energy in your fingers to talk about him. While I can't say for sure whether or not he's just trying to freak people out, I know it spurs him on to want to explain himself. Eventually that breeches a new level that involves him PROVING himself.

And I don't think we want that.

Good response. You may or may not care, but I concur. *Nods in respect*

Danko.

You know, I actually would have formed a more complete opinion on whether or not he's just doing this for shock value if it weren't for the fact that he's being noticably expressive and obviously wanting it to show. He's using outrageous words/symallies all basing off the most used terms "cock" and "cunt". It just seems like he's going out of his way to show how fucked up that is. And considering the fact that he KNOWS that's the way it sounds to us (disturbed), I'm just a tad suspicious.

But I can't say this conclusively cuz' he might just be obsessed. Schizophrenic perhaps.

Maybe Franta knows.

Surprisingly, I'm not at odds with Pariah's apathy this time around. Satan must have installed airconditioners in hell...

I'm repulsed by that PRED - if he's really like that in person. But chances are that he's not. Maybe he's just some kid with way too much time on his hands and he feels bad that he's really not that special - so he invents a bunch of stuff designed to make him look deviant. You've been perusing the RKMBs for a long time now, you should be accustomed to these things. If he's really like that in person, and he has done those things - don't you think he'd have run into trouble with the law now? Especially since he's been bragging about the whole thing online?

So bottomline: I may hate him or I may not. Depending on who he really is. Show me the REAL person first. The fanfics he's done are possibly just a means to get attention, and he's getting that from the "roasters" at GAFF isn't he?

Digressing...Uschi, Nobody, hell even JQ have all written fanfictions that are almost as deviant as PRED's. The difference is that they've all written it in a way which makes it obvious to the reader that it's nothing but a joke. So in summary, PRED is just a bad writer.

I don't think it's against man's law to commit crimes inside your head. If it is, I'd be in jail for killing MisterJLA many times over. And I've even made clones of myself inside my head and then gangraped Uschi...But the point is, has PRED really done it in real life? If he did then what the hell - call the cops, or get some evidence first, and then call the cops. If he's just an imaginary rape-murderer then what the hell do I care? Maybe he has a tendency to do it in real life so call the cops and let them handle it. I don't think ripping on his writing prowess will prevent a future crime.

Goddamn, I've saved the universe countless times inside my head, while wearing a spandex costume that accentuate my chest area - I don't see anybody thanking me for it. Fucking ingrates.

Fuck, I've performed towering acts of beautiful lesbian sex with Uschi but nobody is thanking me for it! I'm going to murder all of you inside my head. AFTER I POST THIS!

There, I am now sitting on a pile of burnt bodies. A kitten walked past me and I told her that she's FAT, and that nobody loved her. And while it was running away with tears in its eyes, I flipped it off.

And then a group of handicapped people walked past me, and I said things that would make Jon Benet Ramsey's killers - Jon Benet Ramsey's parents, allegedly - blush.

All inside my head, of course.

Safety belts prevent your escape from a burning or submerged vehicle.

FACT
Safety belts can keep you from being knocked unconscious, improving your chances of escape. Fire or submersion occurs in less than 5% of fatal large truck crashes.

6. We Are Introduced To the Magic of Greyson Chance. Who looks like Justin Bieber, sounds like Lady Gaga and plays piano like a sixth-grade virtuoso? This guy! A stunning video of a young Biebz-look-alike/Gaga-sound-alike jamming a 'Paparazzi' cover surfaced back in May, and we spent our day watching the clip, like, 95 times. It was only days before he appeared on 'Ellen' and rumors of a record deal surfaced.

5. Goodbye Dixie. Legendary TV star Dixie Carter, who earned millions of fans on shows like 'Designing Women' and 'Diff'rent Strokes,' died in April. She was 70. Carter died in Houston of complications from endometrial cancer.

4. Miley's Big Hit: Bong Video Goes Viral: A video obtained by TMZ shows the 'Hannah Montana' star taking hits from a bong that was reportedly filled with a natural herb called salvia, which when smoked has psychedelic qualities. Possession of salvia is currently legal in California. The video was reportedly taken five days after Miley turned 18. Cyrus turns to her friend during the video and asks, "Is it me tripping? Is it me tripping?"

Letter To My Daughters


I'm sending this letter
I'll mail it today
There's so many things I've been wanting to say
Your mom sent some pictures
And my how you've grown
Rock n roll fathers are never at home

I'm writing this letter
I made you a song
I promised your mom that I'd write while I'm gone
You say daddy come home
Well you'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late

Skylar I just missed your first step today
I have no excuses and nothing to say
I live on a bus with a rock n roll band
I hope when your older that you'll understand

I'm coming home soon
This tour's almost through
I promise I'll try to spend more time with you
You say daddy come home
You'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late

Now Madison Blue you know I love you too
Not a single day passes that I don't think of you
I'm running on empty and a mountain so high
I can pull out your pictures and look in your eyes

I long for the day when your old man comes home
It kills me to hear you say daddy don't go
You say daddy come home
You'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late

Daddy's at work now he's trying to pay bills
Ego's and assholes are part of my deal
I make some money and I have some fun
The tax man he cometh and I'm back to square one

Don't worry bout your daddy
You girls be good
Give a kiss to your mother
I sure wish I could
This life has it's moments
I'm not always sad
Take care and I love you
Your rock n roll dad

Mom and Uncle Frank
It's Saturday morning and Bob's just about to set off on a round of golf, when he realizes that he forgot to tell his wife that the guy who fixes the washing machine is coming around at noon.

So Bob heads back to the clubhouse and phones home.

"Hello?" says a little girl's voice.

"Hi, honey, it's Daddy," says Bob. "Is Mommy near the phone?"

"No, Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank."

After a brief pause, Bob says, "But you haven't got an Uncle Frank, honey!"

"Yes, I do, and he's upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy!"

"Okay, then. Here's what I want you do. Put down the phone, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout in to Mommy and Uncle Frank that my car's just pulled up outside the house."

"Okay, Daddy!" A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone. "Well, I did what you said, Daddy."

"And what happened?"

"Well, Mommy jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming, then she tripped over the rug and went out the front window and now she's all dead."

"Oh, my God! What about Uncle Frank?"

"He jumped out of bed with no clothes on too, and
he was all scared and he jumped out the back
window into the swimming pool. But he must
have forgot that last week you took out all
the water to clean it, so he hit the bottom of
the swimming pool and now he's dead too."

There is a long pause. "Swimming pool? Is
this 854-7039?"

A rascal lived a hard life and barely managed not to starve to death.

One day he happened to pass a household that was holding the funeral of one of its family members. He slipped in and cried bitterly in front of the memorial tablet of the dead. Nobody knew him, so, surprised, people asked him why he cried.

"I was best friends with the dead. We hadn't seen each other for months. Now he has passed away, how could I not feel sad? Since I just happened to be passing, I wasn't prepared for this. All I can do now is to cry for my best friend, which is an expression of our friendship." The family was deeply moved at this and invited him for dinner.

On his way home the rascal met a friend whose life was equally precarious. "Where did you manage to eat and drink today?" the friend asked the rascal, who told him the story from beginning to end.

The next day the friend also found a family that was holding a funeral and cried likewise. When they asked him the reason, he replied that he was a best friend of the dead. Before he had finished, however, he received a storm of blows and kicks. The deceased of the family was a young housewife.

Quotes about Andrew Johnson

Whatever may have been the opinion of the President at one time as to "good faith requiring the security of the freemen in their liberty and their property," it is now manifest from the character of his objections to this bill that he will approve no measures that will accomplish the object.

-Senator Lyman Trumbull, author of the Thirteenth Amendment responding to Johnson's veto of the Civil Rights Bill (March 1866)

The United States Constitution was written on parchment, not hemp paper. It is likely that drafts of the document were written on hemp, since a large portion of paper at the time was made from the material.

Ways To Know You Are In Love
The most common but most important feeling is the indescribable butterflies in your stomach.
When you can’t stop thinking about the person despite all your efforts, you may be in love. When the mention of the name is enough to bring a smile to your face, then you may have fallen in love.
When you start caring for the person more than you even care for yourself. However, there is a very thin line between caring about a person and actually loving a person. So interpret the feelings before you express your love.
One sure-fire factor is that you care for him/her like a family or even more than a family and you feel happy when your partner is happy. Actually, love is feeling of oneness and when you start enjoying the joys of your partner, you should know you are in love.
You feel corny and you can talk to him/her endlessly without getting bored. When it is just a crush, you would get bored after a while. In addition, when you are in love, you would remember even silly things about your partner.
When you are in love, you feel fiercely protective about your partner and you feel proud of them.
It is truly said that when you are in love, you have no eye for anyone other than each other. If you don’t even mind general PDA that is public display of affection like holding hands etc, then you may surely be in love.
If you feel, you can do anything or everything for him/her than you may be in love.

Former California Representative Randall "Duke" Cunningham's political career ended in tears in 2005.

The Republican politcian resigned July 14 of that year, upon admitting that he had sold his vote and his influence to defense contractors for millions in bribes and gifts. Among the various gifts were a Rolls Royce, a yacht he dubbed the "Duke Stir," and, allegedly, meetings with several prostitutes in the Watergate hotel.
Defense contractor Mitchell Wade received tens of millions in defense contracts in the course of his working relationship with the former congressman. After Wade came to the attention of authorities, he told investigators that San Diego businessman Brent Wilkes had been providing prostitutes for congressmen he wanted to bribe. From 1990 to the early 2000s, Wilkes used Shirlington Limousine and Transportation to transport such congressmen to the Watergate hotel, where they would allegedly rendevous with the ladies of the night.
Though Cunningham has been implied in the prostitution allegations, and he admitted that he was bribed, he never copped to using prostitutes.
On March 3, 2006, Cunningham was sentenced to 8 years, 4 months in prison. US District Judge Larry Burns declined to deliver the maximum sentence because at the time of sentencing, Cunningham, suffering from pancreatic cancer, was already 90 pounds lighter than when he was first accused of corruption.
