kerravonsenNow that I've been reading through the fandom_wank info on Mr. Mander, I've been inspired to write a limerick.
There once was a fellow called Mander
Whose dealings were lacking in candour
He made secret plans
To monetize fans
But they saw through his cheap propaganda.

Go ahead. I'm happy to spread the frivolity. (grin)
