For some reason, most of the LJ!celebs have ceased to be amusing. I think it's the whole 'live action' thing. I liked it better when they were 'pretending' it was an actual journal. You know? And LJ!Bono and LJ!Bowie pissed me off, too, with their fake Britishness. For fuck's sake, people, if you're gonna insist on playing a British celebrity, could you at least try to sound kind of vaguely British? I've seen Americans write Brit-based fandoms and pull it off, so it can be done. Just do a little research or something.

OKay, no Bono's not British. But. There's something about the wording that convinces me it's an American trying to sound British. Granted, it's not that clear. Not as bad as LJ!Bowie's "you blokes." That made me cringe. Owwwww!

And, um, there's plenty of Brit fandoms, yo! (Dammit, we can adjust to different speech patterns, so should you! :p) It's less a matter of "Dammit, stop massacring my language," and more of a "Dammit, don't play a character if you can't emulate their speech patterns!" I was rather annoyed with LJ!Eminem, as well.

(Um. Did I just refer to Brit English as "my language"? Ack. Self, you are not British. Gr.)

Barrytown Trilogy? o_O?
