"I, seriously, was like the Lindsay Lohan of scrapbooking."

By Ann Althouse

Did you know about the "Hall of Fame-Gate" scandal that has rocked the world of scrapbooking?

At first, [Kristina] Contes found the uproar amusingly absurd. She replied on her blog.

"Apparently, many lives have been destroyed by this catastrophe."

Her post prompted a barrage of responses on message boards on sites such as Scrapsmack and Twopeasinabucket. One message thread about her received more than 1,255 comments.

"I guess her response is 'dignified' if you live in the same trailer park as she does."

She "doesn't have a moral bone in her body."

Mortified and hurt, Contes stopped scrapbooking.

What outrage can you commit with a scrapbook? (She didn't take her own photographs.)
