If you’ve ever loved the art of social media mockery — particularly when aimed at a group of idiots just begging to be mocked — you NEED to click this link. But just in case that’s not enough to convince you, let me allow some of the authors of the brilliant #BundyEroticFanfiction on Twitter to do the talking:
"But they'll hear us," Ammon whispered breathlessly. "No, they will not," Jason replied, "I'm using a silencer." #bundyeroticfanfic #fb

"Sieze me!" Ammon moaned, "Set my fertile grassland aflame, and I shall pursue no recourse!"#bundyeroticfanfic

"Jason pressed Jed against a rack of "Birds of Oregon" books; his breath was sweet with jerky. Somewhere, an egret cried" #bundyeroticfanfic

How Did This Happen?
You can thank The Decembrist’s lead singer, Colin Meloy, who Tweeted this first, seemingly innocuous line at 5:16 PM January 5th:
"They huddled together for warmth. The cold of Ammon's Ruger 22 against Brian's naked thigh sent a thrill up his spine." #bundyeroticfanfic
— colin meloy (@colinmeloy) January 6, 2016
It took until 5:55 PM for the first of Colin’s 1.5 million followers to join in the fun:
@colinmeloy Zek had fired some big guns before, but this would be his first true magnum. #bundyeroticfanfic

A few of the entries aren’t appropriate to be published on a mildly-reputable news site, but mostly the crowd stuck to poking straight-faced fun at the #Hezbubba domestic terrorists. If there’s one thing that social media has done for our country, it’s allowed us to very rapidly and decisively decide what is worthy of our scorn and mockery — and these #YawlQaeda sumbitches are precisely that.
Let me leave you with just a couple more of these brilliant tweets:
#bundyeroticfanfic The small improvised washtub was filled with two things: Cletus… and Cheetos. "C'mon, Ammon," he purred. "Snack time."

And my personal favorite…
"I want you to take me like Obama takes our freedoms," Jed whispered.
The sound of a Carhartt zipper was his only reply. #bundyeroticfanfic— Miri Jade Sky (@canunderum) January 7, 2016
Thank you, Colin Meloy. Thank you, all y’all on Twitter. This is what the Internet is for.
