LJ's stupidity makes Der Spiegel: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,498677,00.html

Consensus amongst German speakers seems to be that fandom looks neutral, but wacky and LJ looks bad and incompetent.

Running that through babelfish has resulted in some truly hilarious translations. I think my favorites are the section heading Now the management before the Sexfans creeps to cross and reference to the "fan cathedral" (I think it's the dom in fandom that's coming out as cathedral).

LOL! I actually quite like the idea of us being a cathedral! :D

The whole translation is just packed with amusing mistakes. I love babelfish.

Isn't it fantastic? It needs icons, yes it does.

That was my fav too, although I also like "now a protest tower raves".
