Extreme web comments acted out |
No Hmmcast again this Friday, but in its place I’ll point to a good video from elsewhere. Warning: language not safe for work.
This is the funniest video I’ve seen all week and deals with unruly commenters courtesy of Collegehumor.com first viewed via TheAgitator.com.
As predicted the first comment: “first!” Then someone claiming the graphic was “photoshopped!” And from there you can only imagine how far it goes downhill.
Earlier today coincidentally I was commenting to someone elsewhere about how comments in blogs versus major trafficked sites like YouTube and digg have been better quality. Have you noticed the same thing? Whatever your experience with comment sections, I keep laughing over this video — good stuff!




That was so gay! You’re a dick! WOW LOL ROFLMAO
Sorry, couldn’t resist. I agree though blog comments do seem better , (when spam filters are working). IRC can also quickly degenerate, might be cool to try something like that on video simulating an IRC channel….

IRC, there’s an idea. How to act out a channel flood? Or an @op kicking somebody from a channel, not to mention the famous trout slapper.
Somewhat related, just came across this internet argument generator:
