My eyes!

LJ has a lot to answer for. After randomly clicking on links to other links to other links and reading various random people's LJ posts as I go, I was just hit with David Cameron / Nick Clegg RPS. For realz. I'd heard tell it existed, but it's like goatse - you just don't google it without wearing full CBW preventative gear and preferably being high as a kite so you can convince yourself afterwards you were hallucinating.

It's possible I'll never recover.

I don't get RPS.

Fictional characters? Heck, yeah -- they were made up to start with. People bend them into all kinds of pretzel shapes that the author never intended. As long as credit is given to the original creator and no profit is being sought by the fan, whatever.

But real people are... well, they're real people. Who have a say in what they would actually do because they're Actually People. With their own free wills and all. Yeesh.

LOL! I just flashed on an RPS for Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott. Oh dear god. There are no words.

That is just so uggh!

Makes me shudder and not just because DC is my MP and I've met him (he turned up on our doorstep canvasing). The thought of RPS is just so uggh! Character slash fine but the idea of slashing say the actors that play the characters is just noooooooooo ...
