Internet Commentary

The internet seems to have given everyone a voice, when some of them don't even deserve functioning kidneys.

So, post any beauties you find, or old favourites here.

I'll start with a turbo-facepalm, from commentary on this story about a couple who claim to have found a lottery-winning formula.

Did you ever hear of the law of averages moron? You look at the
history of draw numbers. This will lower your odds remarkably.
That's called a strategy.

Aye, there are lots of sites documenting this kind of thing, but this is for original finds as well as old favourites.

Re: Internet Commentary

I've found a lot fewer daft comments after installing the Youtube Comment Snob application - there seems to be an inverse correlation between the amount of brainpower spent on content prior to pressing the 'post' button and the amount of unnecessary capitalisation, profanity, poor spelling etc. contained in a comment. However:

Quote:
Is it not sexism when someone has hateful feelings towards another gender... ?
so why are we all labeling it as feminism...
clearly there is a problem here... learn the definitions of the words you use.
Yeah dude, learn your definitions. Unfortunately, followed by an equally hilarious rebuttal:

Quote:
"Is it not sexism when someone has hateful feelings towards another gender... ?"

Nope. No. That's misogyny. Sexism is different.
Some people need to start thinking.

I don't see the point in installing youtube Comment Snob. Most of the serious comments aren't worth reading, and the ridiculous ones are hilarious.

I turn it off for many videos, but for videos on religion and feminism I've heard it all so often that it's just boring. However, I agree - when people take the Colbert Report at face value it's side-splittingly funny. Filter off.

Re: Internet Commentary

Here's a youtube gem.

Quote:
homophobia is a bad thing? leading a gay lifestyle is is the result of medical malfunction...when sex is being determined in the womb the x and y battle and come to a fork in the road...left is a girl and right is for boys..are you following?then it goes up the girl path and u-balls it,instead changing coarse and going up the guy path..resulting in a God-intended girl being trapped in a boys body.a shame really. i know what gender disorder is and of coarse that is what i'm speaking of...i only use gender disorder to explain homosexuality because in a homosexual relationship one and quite often both fags have gender disorder...it's so common in fact the two disorders(homosexuality and gender disorder) are the same..,.so you're wrong.homophobia is a gay invented word to 'cause guilt amongst the straight...as if being moral with a NORMAL sexual lifestyle is a bad thing..no fear issue wrong again.
Fuck supercomputers becoming self-aware, I dread the day when that guy becomes self-aware.
