So, um, I know at least one person on my flist is in what one might term Formula 1 fandom, and...I'm sorry, your fandom is, rather unexpectedly, now officially a bigger pervert than any of mine.

Is that me?

Though I haven't had any involvement with F1 fandom in the strict sense of "fandom", that is, writing fanfic, etc. and posting it on fannish communities, BBs, etc. you get the idea. I did draw Hamilton in SD style once, because my brother asked me to, but I never posted it anywhere.

I am, however, a F1 nerd to the extent that I watch races with a laptop to have access to the live infodump... though I'm not that much of a nerd to wake myself up at 5 AM for overseas races (and then I have data cravings while watching the race and complain). And I wish there was even more data! But I kind of make a who-has-bigger-heaps-of-data contest from everything in life, I wonder if this is like those penis length contests ;p

It is. :) Although I know you don't do the fic thing, so it depends what one means by "fandom". I was more counting it as just, you know who these people are, you belong to a comm or two related to it, and the fact that I usually only hear about the world of F1 through your LJ was instrumental in my clicking on the link to that article and going WTFBBQPOLARBEAR.

Especially since I can feel a certain kinship to the F1 nerds right now, seeing as one of my principal "fandoms", American politics, has been all about the high-priced hookers, adulterous threesomes, cocaine, more hookers, and diaper fetishes lately...

Diaper fetishes?! *google* Is that Senator Vitter? I completely missed that. Is this even real? I heard of the prostitution, but not the diapers.

Hungarian politics has also hit an all-time low... apparently according to the latest scandal, now it's A-OK to be an Anti-Semite if you're right-wing. I'd link an English-language writeup, but all of those I found were pretty odd... This one (http://english.mti.hu/default.asp?menu=1&theme=2&cat=25&newsid=251030) is from the Hungarian News Agency, and does not seem to contain any factual inaccuracies, but several important details are missing. (Like Bayer claiming the existence of said Jewish journalists and writers who he claims are doing the things he claims is sufficient for anti-Semitism.) At least it does not contain dubious claims like Bayer being Jewish, which is AFAIK not true (and as far as it's possible to retrace, it originated with a neo-Nazi website), but is already making its rounds in the Anglosphere on perfectly mainstream sites. (Pretty much all anti-Semites are claimed to be Jewish by other anti-Semites who consider them rivals at some point.)
