    Why all this Wil Wheaton stuff everywhere all of a sudden? I never knew this guy's name until a couple weeks ago, and now I see it all over the place. Was this a carefully planned attempt to distance himself from the "Wesley must die!" movement, or is this just another case of the media picking someone to hype for no apparent reason? Or is he being recognized for his accomplishments or some other seemingly obvious reason?

  9. Mr. Wheaton, what do you think of this story? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Wil Wheaton and Osama make their living as syncronized swimming instructors.
    Wil Wheaton and Osama like animals. You could even say they love animals. In their
    spare time, Wil Wheaton and Osama express their immense love for animals in their own
    "special" way. In this first episode our two characters (mad with desire) have
    broken into a local hospital where they find their first victim.

    Wil Wheaton and Osama made their way into the lab where the animal experiments
    were conducted. A cute, fuzzy rabbit had caught their eye...

    The evil duo quickly subdued the little lab rabbit. They strapped the now
    helpless animal's head to the sex table with hot leather. Osama had they urge,
    and removed his pants, which were now buldging. After slipping off his briefs,
    Osama tightly fastened the leather straps and was ready to begin.......

    Osama began to "grease up". Shoving endless amounts of vaseline and baby
    oil all around the rabbit's ass, he slid his purple head firmly into the
    rabbit's tight asshole. Even though the rabbit was slightly unconscious,
    screams of pain were constanly being emmited. Wil Wheaton reached for the chain whip
    and smacked the rabbit's soft nose until its face was soaked with blood. Now,
    with the rabbits head drooped over the edge of the table, Osama continued his
    sex hunt. His now tingling cock was pushed deeper and deeper through the thick
    layers of skin which covered the bowel tract. Five, six, seven, then finally
    all eight and 3/4 inches were plunged deep within the animal's love canal.

    Osama's manhood tingled with every slight movement of the now half alive
    rabbit. He began rhythmically sliding in and out, moaning with pleasure on
    every thrust. Osama worked himself into a hot orgasm. The blood, now coming
    steadily out of the rabbit's ass with every thrust of Osama's pelvis, could be
    heard dripping on the floor. Osama's rate increased and with a final push, he
    spurted creamy white love gel far up into the rabbit's bleeding ass.

    The blood and cum mixed together on the floor, which had now accumulated a
    large puddle. Unknown to Osama, the semen had acted as a powerful enemma for
    the rabbit and out ushered the contents of its intestine. The stool was loose
    and soft. It fell to the ground with a soft thud and broke into small pieces.
    The obnoxious smell caught Osama's attention, and no sooner had he fallen to
    the ground and began licking the large puddle of blood, sperm, and stool.
    Exited at Osama's enthusiasm, Wil Wheaton dropped to his knees and also began to slurp
    the foul mixture.

    After cleaning the floor with their tongues, Osama and Wil Wheaton checked on the
    battered lab rabbit. It was barely able to hold its head up, as it had lost
    control of most of its motor fuctions. Feeling no pity for this sexually
    mistreated animal, they unstrapped it and tossed it across the room, only to
    make a loud and deep thud against the wall. Its blood soaked fur left spatters
    of red stains everywhere it touched. Wil Wheaton reached for his chain whip, while
    Osama grabbed a pair of rusty hedge clippers (one of the many torture devices
    carried around for "convenience"). They made their way over to the rabbit.
    The rabbit was struggling for every last bit of air it could, just gasping and
    wheezing.

    "Awwwww. Poor little thing," Wil Wheaton maniacally laughed. He raised his arm
    and thrust the cold metal whip down, exposing the rabbit's bloody flesh.
    He kept whacking and whacking at the furry bag of blood. Then, when Wil Wheaton
    stopped to catch his breath, Osama stepped over with his rusty hedge clippers.
    He knelt over the rabbit who was knocking loudly on death's door. Osama took a
    quick glance at the clippers, grinned, and then thrust them deep into the body
    of the rabbit, obviously hitting many arteries. As the blood squirted into
    Osama's face he moved the clippers around in hopes to find a thick bone to
    crunch. "Aha! The femur!" he yelled out with excitement. Osama wedged the
    clippers against the bone. He opened them wide......then closed down on them
    with all his might. The bone could be heard deep inside the rabbit, being
    mutilated. Death had glazed the bunny's eyes.

    The rabbit lay dead, a bloody mess on the floor. Its bodily fluids freely
    surged across the tiled floor. Then with a look of extreme satisfaction, both
    Osama and Wil Wheaton lit up some smokes, gathered their belongings and quietly left
    the hospital grounds, knowing with confidence that they would strike again,
    somewhere, soon.

    This story, which happened one of these days in the town Uzhum, Kirov region, could decorate any blockbuster.
    A machine operator of a local Kirov agricultural production complex Trukhin decided to visit his native village, Shurma. To carry out his plan, the several-ton tractor 'Kirovets-700' seemed to be the best mode of transportation. Who knows why, but comrade Trukhin did not remove the heavy plough fastened to the tractor. The first obstacle appeared in the way of the brave tractor driver already in garage of Antonkovo settlement: one of the drunk Trushkin's colleagues tried to stop him. As a result - cranial injury brought with an iron tube.
    Two further obstacles - cars with drivers - were successfully sent with the plough to ditch (the plough came in handy!).
    The policemen, who put hedgehogs in the way of the irrepressible tractor driver, surprisingly saw how the hedgehogs simply got stuck in the tractor's powerful whiles, while the plough accurately cut off the roof of the car belonging to Trukhin's chief.
    Even the shooting of police guns, as well as of Kalashnikov submachine gun, could not help. Afterwards, the 'Kirovets' tractor finally drove into Urzhum village on its pierced tires and stopped before main entry of the local counting center. That was the end of the story. Trukhin was sent to hospital for a checkup, and the heroic tractor was driven to the nearest police station.

I think the scriptwriters purposely kept him annoying. Most 15 year olds I know can be annoying, but put them in enough adult company and they "learn the ropes." They know when to talk and when to shut up. Someone with Wesley's intelligence should have learned that the first episode or two, then he could have been halfway decent.
