The original intent of the comments section–a place for readers to respond to content and start a dialog between author and audience–works fabulously in some circumstances. Some blogs have dozens of thoughtful, well reasoned comments cropping up at the bottom of each post. But as sites become larger and more popular, and as the audiences become less knowledgeable and more general, comments sections frequently devolve into a 200 car pile-up of stupid. Writing regularly for Cracked, I’ve gotten pretty used to seeing the regular types of commenting idiots. People who yell “First.” People who yell other ordinal numbers. Spell checkers. People who post entire essays. Anyone segueing into something not in the article, especially articles that aren’t about Ron Paul. People who post “Meh.” Ron Paul.
(Less frequent, but appreciated all the more for their rarity, are my favorite types of commenters: Nude co-eds. People who post ‘8===D’ and nothing else. Naughty co-eds.)
To see how commenter intelligence varies across different sites, I’ve created a scientifical method of analysis. By choosing a single story that multiple sites have reported on–The Development of Flesh Eating Robots–I’d be able to observe how different communities respond to the same stimulus. I’m actually pretty proud of this experiment: It’s easily the most scientific thing Cracked has done since DOB had sex with that vacuum cleaner.
A brief synopsis of the Flesh Eating Robot story for those of you who’ve been in your robot shelters the past few weeks: Scientists working for the U.S. Government have created a robot that is capable of harvesting organic materials (plants, animals…… AND MAN -record scratch-) and burning it as fuel for its engine. Yesterday, the CEO of the company observed that the machine would not be harvesting dead bodies, remarking, “We completely understand the public’s concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population.” I’d like to imagine he continued: “Now please put your weapons down,” but none of the linked articles can confirm that.
Anyways, here’s what our selected Internet communities thought of this:

Digg
Digg is one of a few popular link aggregators on the Web these days. Users of the site submit their favorite Cracked articles, then everyone votes to see whether the community enjoys it, or only loves it. Sometimes non-Cracked articles are also submitted, much to everyone’s embarrassment.
The comments below are typical: people making weak references to pop culture; people yelling about the main stream media; and a couple of guys posting in binary for no particular reason. (Just thought of a reason: their mom’s nursed them on Kahlua?) Also keep an eye out for a guy screeching about how we’re all being sterilized by fluoride in the water supply. What that has to do with vegetarian, flesh-eating robots is beyond me, so honestly crazy guy, I think we should try and tackle one problem at a time here.

It’s never the mission to create flesh eating robots, it’s just something that happens along the way to creating Skynet.
iancgiiancgi
lol what complete and bold faced lie to all of you. This company put out a PDF on the EATR outlining just how great it was that it can consume and burn any organic material including humans (which provide the greatest energy return) to power the robot with its external combustion engine. Stop being such simple minded sheep and trusting everything these skynet clone companies tell you
Their goal is profit margin and military contract not public safety and concern. Wake the fuck up from your brainwashed slumber, pull the jack out of the back of your head and open your eyes to the real world around you already.

Robots that can EAT YOU. I picture a tank driving through a crowd, picking people up by the throat with the claw and holding them over the burner. Then it uses the chainsaw to lop of parts of it’s victim so they fall into the burner, all the while the person is alive watching the flesh be consumed to fuel the machine that is still in the act of tearing them apart. The best part is you could throw kids right in without even chopping them up first. Hell you wouldn’t even need them to be dead.

Once again, this is being taken completely too far, without proper context. Technically the title is not incorrect, but pretty damn close.
This thing runs off of a biomass boiler. Now, I’m sure you all understand how a boiler works; heat+water=steam. The steam would be used to power the machine. Now, how does one create heat? Burning things. What is burned? Combustibles aka biomass. Namely wood. If you look at the designs on the claw, there is an attached chainsaw. That is because the main source of fuel for this bad boy will be wood. Technically bodies could be used, but quite frankly they are not going to burn with the consistency and intensity needed to keep that boiler going. I have literally not seen a single link to this on reddit which does not claim this thing will be fueled by bodies; technically possible, but far from the ideal fuel.

I like the one prick who goes off about what he expects “civilized people” to have studied. That’s one hell of a prick. But aside from him, the lame Simpsons reference and the even lamer acknowledgment of the Simpsons reference, there’s nothing terribly stupid about Slashdot at all–aside from the fact that there’s people who really really care which version of the GPL a certain batch of Linux drivers are being published under. Seriously guys, you should get out a little more. Go find yourself a nice naked lady website or something.

Because of their close proximity to the Queen, I assumed that English commenters would generally have better control over their spelling and grammatical structure than those of us in the colonies. That was generally the case (I only counted one LOL) but the English do have their quirks. Huge swathes of the comments were taken up by bizarre references to old English comic book characters and lengthy diatribes about how much George Bush sucked. Interestingly, very few commenters saw fit to mention how their asses were bailed out in WWII. Bizarre.

Yahoo!
Yahoo! has the largest audience of any site listed here, so using my More Commenters = Stupider Comments theory, that implies Yahoo! is the dumbest site on the Internet. Unfortunately, Yahoo! no longer allows comments on news articles, as they stripped out the feature some time ago, possibly because by pouring current events into the fiery crucible of the Yahoo! community, a molten wave of stupid could have swept o’er the land. Because Yahoo! isn’t willing to play fair in this comments analysis, I decided I wouldn’t play fair either. For Yahoo!’s entry then, I went straight to the dampest crevice of stupidity the Internet has ever seen: Yahoo! Answers. Here’s what I found when I searched for “eating robots.”

For all the other websites, I picked through 50-100 comments to find the dumbest, funniest, most insightful, etc. comments. For Yahoo! Answers, every single “eating robot” question asked was fucking insane. I could have filled a list a thousand Internets long with the bubbling horseshit which poured out of my screen. I especially like the people who think putting a question mark on the end of a sentence makes it a question. Although not as much as I love the concept of “robot Bruce.”

And now to enlist your help, dedicated and gullible reader! With more than 1000 websites on the Internet today, it would be impossible for me to survey them all.

Politics when people post that on everything that is stupid . They really think not though. Smartest thing is to go on blogs made to talk about politics . They do it on non-politic posts and blogs. It’s so ignorant do they not know how dumb they make themself look by posting about politics on every site? I call that a bit obsessed. Everything does not have to do with politics people.

In 08: A New York man by the name of Joshua R. Stetar was arrested Friday for stalking two young girls, a 15-year-old and her sister, he met while playing an unspecified title in the Halo franchise. Stetar, 20 years old, had discovered the girl’s address by searching online and had been sending flowers and other packages — which her parents returned — to her home since they first met online in 2006. Stetar had apparently driven 40 hours straight from his home in Saratoga Springs, New York to the girl’s home in Spokane, Washington, where he drove by her house and sent her threatening text messages. According to the Associated Press, the girl’s parents were outside the home at the time and saw Stetar driving past. They wrote down Stetar’s license plate number and called the police, who later tracked down Stetar at a hotel and arrested him. He has since posted the $10,000 bond and was released on Saturday.
A disturbing story to be sure. Let this be a reminder to the parents out there to utilize the 360’s parental controls and keep an eye on what their kids are playing.

Without any proof nothing they can do. So don’t just use words they can not get on the case with just he or she said. I mean words. You must take all crimes serious on the web some can be serious.

I get so tired of the idiots on the internet, which is why i hardly read comments anymore. The people that make comments, while on some sites are not as bad as others, tend to be pretty ignorant on many popular sites. It’s kind of amusing to me to see that there are some sites with less stupidity than what one would normally see.
November 13th, 2009 at 6:35 am
Most dumb comments is when people act like famous people on the web. Give me a break people. Famous people are not gonna chat with people online . They do and there e-mails will be given out to hundreds of people. I can’t still believe some believe that stuff. I never did I knew it was a load of crap. Kids parents really need to talk about that stuff with them. They need to know make believe & reality by age 10 at least. They don’t they’ll believe everything people tell them online.

Other southern people on sites who post stuff on other southern posts. Bill Usa this is not the 1800’s you dumb redneck so lay off the WV posts & stop trolling them. I don’t give a care if he sees this either. He really needs to stop though. He’s rude , not very bright. All though he’s not redneck yeah sure. He’s more of a racist then anything on boards. We know you maybe redneck. So are some WV people we treat our people with kindness. I wish this guy would stop trolling other southern boards . We will not treat him with any kindness till he stops trolling boards and being a racist behind on boards. I don’t even know what anything has to do with race. He seems to bring it up in everything. So stop bothering other people. This guy must have a 5th grade education. No class. He really shows his immaturity on boards like most people do. This world just gets dumber and more evil by the minute.You have room to talk trash about people. You are an adult you troll boards with stupid re-marks. I will go no futher then this . I mean of what i’m saying !

I thought I would point out a few views. You lose. We win. Give up. We don’t like the kind of person like you on any website. It’s freaky. Very weird a growen adult would do things that you do. Most is probably for attention. How sad some adults stoop so low.
November 10th, 2009 at 5:05 am
sordidguy I also heard you do follow people on blogs & e-mail them with crazy stuff. You also check up on stuff they have and so on. If true that would make you a stalker ! And so there would be more charges pending on you. My buddies told me all about some aol users like you. It’s creepy and some users are nuts on that site.
November 10th, 2009 at 5:02 am
sordidguy you may not want to go reporting people. You are using harassment and bullying on web sites including this one. Which is a crime. You can be tracked . What people do is not a crime by speaking up telling you to back off or how lame and go away is no crime where I am from. You need to stop wasting the police’s time as well as people’s time on sites and posts. People can just look you up find info etc. You been warned by many seem not to go away or anything ! So I reported you to the police also. They are looking into it. One thing I can’t stand is snitches like you crying how people treat you then you report it. Treat others as you want to be treated ever heard of that? You treat people bad they shall do the same to you . It’s called teaching that person a lesson. I don’t really report people. In this case I had to because you are being annoying & ignorant and it will not stop. The police sure can make it stop in a heartbeat. You sure are one ignorant person. You keep on ranting crazy stuff. This site is made to post sites. Not people i’m sure of. If you can read and see you’ll see everyone has posted web-sites not so many dumb comments. People like you I can see though you don’t know what people are even talking about nor you. You really don’t have a clue what you are rambling on about like most people who do on sites and posts. It’s just crazy, ignorant stuff. Deal with stuff or change. If you don’t like people jumping on you then stop being rude. Act your age. You are not six. I hate trolls . Adults who do it that’s just weird.
My Space has some odd comments. I had seen one guy post a thing about feet. He had a big thing with feet. Now talk about weird.

You just may get what everyone has been waiting for adult dirtbags like you coming on every site and trolling them attacking people ! The law at your door one of these days. Sorry the law don’t do much either for you cause they don’t worry about cry babies wanting attention and wanting there way like you. It’s for real stuff. Plus they got other cases many. They do look into some. May take a while for others. I will let my uncle know you sent our false information on people to law enforcement. Big mistake. He will look into you also. Somehow I think you just might be an online predator. Gonna make more threats? I dare you. You must have something to hide then.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:06 pm

November 8th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
And stuff ! So might wanna watch when you post on sites & blogs more you threaten or whatever you do. Another charge. My mom told me they’ll just keep adding up chrarges on people. THere stupid when they keep fighting & making threats to pople on blogs they don’t even know they think they know or as you you think everyone is the same people on sites & you rant at them so. I would not worry about others. Worry about yourself.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:03 pm

November 8th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
blondey…..perhaps you didn’t see my earlier comments. You have been reported to the authorities for stalking which you are doing by your own admission.There are more than 25 complaints against you for harrassment from various posters and your posts are being observed on this and other sites. It has been verified that you are Aol User, Military Family Member, Sweet Girl, Hot, My Space User….etc…..
Too bad you didn’t accept my generous offer of a simple apology to me. The fact that you dimissed this offer will not bode well in your favor.
For the third time I request that you do not contact me again.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:47 am
My computer is messed up . I better re-start then report this guy. Sounds like you might be predator. My mom always told me if I see people like you report it better safe then sorry.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:45 am
SordidGuy I just wanna say this to you. Everyone is right about you. One profile shows you are age 50 ! Then why are you coming online using bullying and harassment on people? Esp. kids in that matter? You don’t know who you could be ranting at or talking to. So think before you type on websites.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Okay so I found a site and there is women who had posted this: I have no kids but already picked out names for them. That’s really creepy . And stupid.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:36 am
He is adult & trolls… Wait ! So…. Would that make you an idiot & crazy? I believe so !
November 8th, 2009 at 11:34 am
You must excuse some of these people. I looked up this sordidguy all he does is rant non-sense subjects that are not even meant for sites or posts. His Iq is low. He trolls on different accounts on the net. So yeah pretty much his head is not fully cap. of thinking right.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:32 am
So please stop… And find sites and stuff that may seem stupid not people you idiot.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:31 am
sordidguy it’s really sad you are have no common sense to talk about sujects on any site. Don’t waste your time coming on the net if you are just gonna rant & get attention. You seem like a little coward just hidingbehind his screen & yet stupid.
November 8th, 2009 at 11:28 am
I done that on purpose. To get a little kick & type of funny/corny joke out of the name….

INTRODUCTION
The right to privacy in Internet activity is a serious issue facing society. 1 Some users of the ‘net wish to shield their identities while participating in frank discussions of sensitive topics. Others fulfill fantasies and harmlessly role play under the cover of a false identity in chatrooms, MUDs or the IRC. But there are the eternal “bad apples,” and on the Internet, they are the people who use anonymous servers as more than a way to avoid responsibility for controversial remarks. Cases of harassment and abuse have become increasingly frequent, aided by a cloak of anonymity. 2 There are also problems with frauds and scam artists who elude law enforcement authorities through anonymous mailings and postings. Other users are concerned about the proliferation of information on the Internet. Databases of court records are now available for free over the World Wide Web. 3
CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS FOR PRIVACY
Nowhere does the text of the United States Constitution contain the word “privacy.” 4 The Supreme Court has found the concept of “privacy” to be protected by a number of the Amendments.5 Thus, privacy is known as a “penumbra right.” 6 It is the essence of the Bill of Rights and thus a guaranteed right.
INVASION OF PRIVACY
This page will discuss five aspects of invasion of privacy as it applies to American netizens. These are: search and seizure, unsolicited e-mail, defamation, secrecy and the creation of databases consisting of personal information.
The United States Supreme Court has stated that American citizens have the protection of the Fourth Amendment (freedom from search and seizure absent warrant) when there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. 7 Without a reasonable expectation of privacy, however, there is no privacy right to protect. 8 Files stored on disk or tape in the home are protected, but the rule becomes less clear when applied to files stored on an Internet access provider’s server. 9 Web servers, on the other hand, may be protected by federal law. 10 Some argue that consent of the access provider, however, is all that is required for law enforcement authorities to search and seize any files in the possession of that access provider. Internet service providers may have a lot of information about the users because servers routinely record information about users’ e-mail and web browsing habits. 11
Unsolicited email is not regulated by federal law at present. Various states have outlawedunsolicited commercial email, however. A federal judge in Philadelphiahas ruled that companies have no First Amendment right to send unsolicited messages to online service subscribers. 13 One community remedy preferred by many users is to complain to the offender’s service provider and publicly denounce the action on the Internet Blacklist. Another possibility for those with Eudora for the PC is to filter out unsolicited email. 14 Other free software claims to eliminate unwanted email. 15 Individuals have sued spammers in court and won. 16
Individual states specifically prohibit defamation, no matter what form it takes. Defamation consists of false and unprivileged publication which results in economic damages. Financial loss is not necessary where the statement implies that a person is a criminal or has an unpleasant disease, or which injures a person in respect to his other office, profession, or business. A judge in Texas issued an injunction to stop defamatory posting by an Internet user. 17 Hate messages sent by e-mail have also resulted in criminal penalties. 18
In some cases, companies have asked the court system to identify the authors of anonymous defamatorymessages. This has been done by filing “John Doe” lawsuits andissuing subpoenas to Yahoo! and other message boards where individuals have posted the disparaging messages. 19 Most such subpoenas go unchallenged. 20 One CompuServe user has complained that his service provider turned over account information, including credit card numbers, without any notice to him.21 One such plaintiff, Raytheon Corporation, dropped its suit as soon as it discovered the names of the people posting anonymous messages.22
Trade secrets and other confidential information can also pose legal problems. Unauthorized entry into a computer system is illegal, whether the target machine is connected to the Internet or not. 23 Nevertheless, hackers still manage to get past the most difficult of firewalls. 24 Compromise of company secrets can lead to millions of dollars in damages. Hacking is not the only danger to sensitive information, however. 25 Some software can tell webmasters which visitors came from which links. 26 In addition, all e-mail has an address attached. Even if the messagecontent is encrypted, system administrators have access to the fact of communication between two parties. 27 The existence of communication can itself often be secret, and the Internet cannot provide absolute security. In many ways, the Internet abhors secrecy. Many netizens believe in an absolute free-flow of all information.
A few companies are creating huge databases full of private information. 28 Websites may even collect email addresses inadvertently. 29 In many cases, there is no prohibition on the dissemination of personal information. 30 The federal government regulates only its own databases, leaving private database owners to decide how and when to distribute collected information. 31
Webmasters have begun using “cookies” as a means of accumulating information about web surfers without having to ask for it. 32 Cookies attempt to keep track of visitors to a Web site. 33 Criticism of cookies has included fear of the loss of privacy. 34 The information that cookies collect from users may be profitable both in the aggregate and by the individual. Whether the convenience that cookies provide outweighs the loss of privacy isaquestion each Internet user must decide for him or herself. 35
America OnLine has been accused of selling data based information about users. 36 This has led to an effort on the part of cookie proponents to control the amount of information that cookies collect. 37 Not all proponents of cookies adhere to the voluntary standards. The Federal Trade Commission determined that Geocities, a popular web site where users input personal information, was selling information in apparent violation of its own privacy policy. 38
WAIVER
Internet users sometimes do not realize the amount of privacy that is lost when accessing the online world. Usenet postings and contributions to bulletin boards may remain archived forever. 39 Public records are available free or for a fee. 40 While much of this information has been freely available in the past, the advent of the Internet has made it available more easily and quickly.
LIABILITY
Generally, there is no safety in activity that is unlawful. Anonymity should not be considered a secure shield because, ultimately, any data may be intercepted. 41 An offender is specifically liable for damages to the victim. At times, this liability can be extended to include others (e.g. an employer) with a greater capacity for satisfying the judgment.
In addition, there is current disagreement about whether a system operator or an access provider should be held liable. 42 The 1996 Telecommunications Act protects access providers from liability for the unlawful acts of users (except copyright infringement or obscenity). 43 Some Courts have protected ISPs and online services from vicarious liability for the acts of subscribers/customers. On the other hand, vicarious liability, even without knowledge, may result when either the web page designer or the ISP (1) has the right and ability to control the infringer’s acts and (2) receives a direct financial benefit from the infringement.
JURISDICTION
The law surrounding issues of jurisdiction over individualsand businesses with an online presence continues to evolve. 44 The first such case was U.S. v. Thomas. Courts in Minnesota, Arizona and Ohio have made similar determinations. One Californiacase is Hall v. LaRonde. In that opinion, the California Appellate Court stated that creating a contract over email could warrant the exercise of jurisdiction. Some argue that the nature of the Internet could result in forum shopping and the necessity of modifying traditional notions of venue requirements. 45 Other courts have declined to exercise jurisdiction on the simple basis of accessibility of the Web page. 46 So the question of whether any individual court will decide to find jurisdiction on any specific set of facts is an issue for the judge hearing the case. The US Supreme Court will almost certainly lay down some guidelines within the next few years.
PROTECTION
Avoiding the seizure of communication in transit is less a legal problem than a technological one. There is software that can provide privacy protection for the individual Internet user. 47 Hardware exists that can prevent very sophisticated industrial espionage. 48 Of most concern to the common Internet user is protection of email. The most famous encryption software is PGP,created by Phil Zimmerman. The U.S. government has attempted to suppress other means of strong encryption. 49 These attempts have not always been successful, however. 50
Anonymous discourse is still available through the use of “remailers.” 51 Various problems with the anon.penet.fi forwarding service, a famous anonymous remailing service in Finland, have led to a discontinuation of that service. 52 Other remailers continue to provide anonymity to e-mail and Usenet participants. 53
The key to anonymous publishing on the World Wide Web is to have as many web servers within the control and/or trust of the publisher. It also helpsto have a number of other servers performing a service to the community.Ian Goldburg and David Wagner at Berkeley are attempting to provide that service. 54
Recent versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer give web surfers the option of refusing to accept cookies. Windows users may automatically delete all cookies with every restart of the machine. 55
CONCLUSION
Before attempting anonymity on the Internet, it is best to think for a moment about your purpose and intent in hiding your identity. Think as well about the impact of the statement you wish to communicate. The safest course may be to acknowledge authorship. This avoids the uncertainties of liability and discovery.

I was going to read through the comments to see if anyone had mentioned Livejournal.com yet, and got about twenty responses down before it seemed like I was reading the same things I’ve read dozens of times before… Thankfully, I remembered the nifty little find option under the browser edit menu. Blue Says beat me to it, but I felt it needed emphasis.
It’s definitely not as bad as Yahoo, though. I can almost feel the unneeded hit my already mediocre IQ takes when I make the mistake of looking at one of their comment boards…
November 7th, 2009 at 4:45 am
“But aside from him, the lame Simpsons reference and the even lamer acknowledgment of the Simpsons reference,”
Just for the record, “I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords” is not a Simpsons reference. The Simpsons did have an episode, “Deep Space Homer” that used that line, but the line originated in the 1977 movie, Empire of the Ants.

Oh yeah, and it’s also worth pointing out that many (though not all) of the HYS “debates” are pre-moderated. If it says “fully moderated” at the top, every subsequent comment has been read and then a BBC employee has decided it is worthy of being unleashed onto the internet. That is a terrifying thought.
November 6th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
If you want to see stupid British commenters The Guardian pales in comparison to the BBC’s ‘Have Your Say’.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/default.stm
What particularly shines through about that site is the commenters’ almost invariable sense of self-importance and debilitating phobia of punctuation. To save your eyes from melting, it’s probably easier just to go to spEak You’re bRanes (http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/).
November 6th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
This is an appropriate article for whatever it is these people are rambling about.
November 6th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
blondey….it seems that over 25 different posters have filed complaints against you for harrassment/stalking. It appears you have been quite busy. I can not say what the others may choose to do, but my offer still stands, an apology to me and our issue will be concluded. You have 22 hours remaining to decide.
November 6th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
blondey….you just couldn’t keep your mouth shut could you? I have contacted the local authorities concerning you stalking me and they have reviewed your posts and agree that I have a case against you through your own admissions. They also have verified that you are the same poster on all of these posts. Likewise they have noted you harassing other posters on AOL. I have asked them to hold on prosecution to give you one more chance. If you aplogize to me for stalking me and promise not to contact me again, and stop harassing others I will not have you prosecuted. If you choose another path, look at the bright side, you’ll be out by time you are 30. The choice is yours, reply here as you are NOT to use my e-mail for ANY reason. You have 24 hours to apologize and make amends.
November 6th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Because it’s funny. And linked to in the Yahoo Answers topic page, which is on the front page today.
November 6th, 2009 at 11:37 am
HOLY SHIT WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL POSTING ON THIS ARTICLE? It’s so old!
November 6th, 2009 at 8:51 am
Even in a modern warzone there are only about 2 to 20 deaths on the few days there are even any. The idea of designing a corpse eating robot would fail on that fact alone, ignoring all the other reasons it’s stupid. I’m thankful that the people commenting on these sites are also the demographic least likely to vote.
November 6th, 2009 at 7:22 am
there are over 9000 websites on the internet…get it right man

November 6th, 2009 at 4:57 am
You must be not very smart. According to you. You think everyone is the same person or blondey on posts. No one is stalking you. People are just telling you you need to give it a rest child.
November 6th, 2009 at 4:13 am
“I see your little behind ranting all the time on stuff.”
“I am sure that is the youtube account you have. You just added an s on it.”
“Typed in sordidguy should have knowen he would be ranting on another blog.”
Why are you stakling me blondey? By your own admission here and in print that is what you are doing. How else do you see my “little behind” ranting unless you are stalking me, what my youtube account name is, and why would you “type in sordidguy” unless you were stalking me? Don’t give me that “it aint me” crap. You keep misspelling the same words on all of your posts. i.e theword is known…not knowen. Re-read some of your posts to see. I have told you , sorry, just not interested….let’s leave it at that shall we? Please don’t contact me again. Best wishes.
November 6th, 2009 at 12:21 am
I see your little behind ranting all the time on stuff. You just don’t only have one person who don’t like what you do. I think people should know about people like you. All though I do gotta say funny how you troll on different screen names . We know it’s you. Within hours they are gone. You are one little troll we know about.
November 6th, 2009 at 12:19 am
I am sure that is the youtube account you have. You just added an s on it. Can’t deny it’s not you. Sure it is.
November 6th, 2009 at 12:17 am
Typed in sordidguy should have knowen he would be ranting on another blog. He types out stuff he has no clue about on most blogs & chats. there all lies because we are strangers he knows nothing about. If I was him I would think twice before I trash people. Right now times are rough. It’s people like you who have no respect and make many people hate you. So don’t make fun of people over stuff. People are losing things right now. Sorry no one seems to give you enough attention maybe it’s because you are a little smart a** who downs people making little sick comments 24/7 in chats and blogs. Some are lucky to have there jobs right now. You are an unhappy person it sounds like. Stop posting, stop e-mailing, Just making more people hate you. I believe you maybe a little unstable to be nit piking on alot of people you don’t know . It’s non-stop with you. (youtube sordidguys) Are you some little rich punk who gives no care about anyone but your own self? Get a grip guy. Don’t go hating on people or making fun it’s not cool. People’s having rough times now they don’t need punks like you messing with them . Get a life. It maybe harsh. I can be harsh when it comes to punks like you messing with people you don’t even know.

Stalker tactics
There are many complex reasons why someone becomes drawn to stalking. Every situation is unique, but whatever motives your personal-botherer may have, aim to keep all contact to a minimum. Any form of communication risks fuelling their conviction that their attention is justified. Even attempting to reason with them could make things worse, which is why the most effective thing you can do is notify the police and let them handle it. If at any time you think you’re being followed, head for a public place immediately and call the police. You won’t be wasting their time, even if it turns out to be a false alarm.
Phone tactics
If you pick up a creepy call, try not to sound startled or alarmed. Simply put the receiver to one side, leave it like that for a couple of minutes before replacing it - that way the caller gets a taste of his/her own medicine without any encouragement from you.
Report malicious or nuisance calls by phoning BT on Freephone 0800 666 700. Alternative service providers, such as cable, will have their own procedure for dealing with such calls, so contact them in the first instance.
Post tactics
Whether you’re receiving threatening mail using letters cut from newspaper headlines, or fabulous gifts in a bid to buy your love, avoid the temptation to return to sender and hope that’ll learn ‘em. Instead, keep any correspondence/presents, and try not to handle too much as it could be useful as evidence.
Blackmail
Blackmail is the act of extorting money or something else valuable from a person by threatening to expose information about them. Like stalking, it’s a criminal offence and if you feel you’re being blackmailed, contact the police immediately.
Some info people might wanna read and keep and post up as well to let people know what some online stalkers really are.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Found this online : Social Services in the UK run amok again: A mother-to-be, who was banned from marrying after social workers said she is not intelligent enough, is to have her baby taken away immediately after giving birth– fresh infants are so much more adoptable! Separation trauma means nothing to these vultures.
This is stupid and on the web don’t know when it happend. Can’t find any date right now. I thought this was just a stupid thing.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
It may take a few months. They’ll look into it & may make an arrest if you keep it up. I let them know you are showing stuff that pretty much is like nerds like you living in a computer world not in the real world.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
I have family who’s in law enforcement so don’t even to to go bullying each person on this blog. I am the wrong person you wanna be messing with. It looks like you are not very bright. So I have reported each thing you type out to law enforcement.

You may need to look up a few things then. It has been since the late 90’s . Where have you been? We can’t report you to the police on here trust me. We can sure report you to websites or call our own police and send information out to them.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
When are you going to get it through your pin head that you don’t make the rules or set the standards for others to love by you moron. Nobody gives a shit about you or what you think is right or wrong. If you don’t like what’s posted on the internet stay the hell off idiot.

November 4th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
youtube is dumb also. Oh my gosh the videos some people make. They should not even be allowed to be posting videos up on the web. Then again they have only 200 views and videos & comments has been up for 1 or 2 yrs. Not so great videos then. If you post one up and get a thousand views you know you are good. Some will post comments & more videos up and get less amount or same amount. There videos must not be that great then. So stop posting please. People will do anything to become famous or propular.

More then one person on sites & blogs will tell you to shut it when they see your comments. Now i’m telling you to shut it idiot . You make no sense at all. You don’t know what you are even talking about. Keep off of sites if you don’t know what they are made for.

He believes stuff that’s false & untrue in reality. He’s showing signs on here. By ranting lies & non-sense stuff it proves to you that he has problems with himself. I will be watching close & sending everything to the police. He lives in a world that’s pretty much delusional and psychpath. He does not belong anywhere near a computer or out in our world. He needs caged up & get help. So anyone who reads him clear & sees same things. Report It.

You are ugly both ways in & out.
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:18 pm
sordidguy By looking at your youtube I would not call others ugly. I would not be talking if I were you I mean. Before you talk about others look at yourself. You are a major dumb ass. You are nothing but a hateful/dumb person. Do us all a favor & turn yourself in to a nuthouse or jail & tell them you need some kind of help for your issues you have.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Stop fighting with people on blogs. This is about net services not just people & then say it. read everyone posts youtube, yahoo, aol, etc. Not names up or made up stuff like you post . You are just really stupid and a troll with no life. We understand. Now good-bye
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Try watching the news people like you do infact get arrested.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I am gonna only post this one time. Stalking and harassment even hate crimes online is the law. You better open both eyes up wide start looking at things . You must not live in the world most people do since you believe there are no laws. Which means you have mental issues. Play nice or the law will be knocking on your door one day. Just not any law like the feds. I am sure you know better. Give no care till you are arrested. I hope your little coward a** is arrested. Don’t blame anyone else if freedom is taken away from you. It’s you’re own fault. You simply believe things that are not true & not real & post them. They can track you. When you sign up for internet services you give them info. Unless it’s all false then you’ll be in more trouble. When arrested they take your little computer away. Even when you delete stuff they can still track it . They got things now. It’s called real stuff & real world might wanna look also give it a try. People like you don’t belong on the net anywhere. You belong in a tiny room or cell.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:36 pm

Tip: Welcome to the world of stalkers. Stalkers are individuals who, for many reasons, become obsessed with acting out, on line, against other individuals. They are relentless predators in their need for attention, money, or to express rage. They can be quite resourceful in the aggression, sophistication, and persistence of their attacks. Sometimes they will give the impression that they have hacked into the victim’s computer as they follow their victims from site to site over the Internet.

Others are scam artists. Whether they recruit others to join them in their campaigns against another individual or act alone, they have either a scam motif, rage motif, relationship motif, or a trouble making motif in singling out people who they think are vulnerable. The anonymity behind the on line personality allows for reinventing new characters who troll all over the Internet.
IDENTIFYING TYPES OF INTERNET STALKERS
The ROMANTIC STALKER starts early and works fast. There is instant love and instant desire to be the center of the victims attention. The romantic stalker does not have a clue that he or she displays a bizarre thought process, and acts as it is perfectly normal to demand control, attention, returned affection, and a committed relationship. The romantic stalker gets enraged when turned down, and tunes out anything that he or she does not want to hear.
The SCAM STALKER initiates an attack on another person and on their work. If results are not satisfying, the bully escalates the attacks and recruits others to join in. These types of attacks are generally from greed and a compulsion to scam or cheat the system. Examples can be found in such places as E-Bay, where a competitor is repeatedly attacked with false bad reviews and in the forums.
The ongoing sad sob story scam usually involves a woman and eventually builds into a campaign for everyone in a forum to send money. These are serious groups of scam artists and stalkers who work forums and social sites. They will stalk and attack anyone who challenges the person’s credibility. On line “teams” get into social forums and set it up to look as if a person has earned a lot of friends over time. If anyone warns against sending money to an unknown person, that person is raw meat. True financial predators cannot shut up, and will stalk, attack, and argue until they get their money. Then, the sad sob story moves on.
RAGE OR JUSTICE STALKERS are responding
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
They need to look into your mental history !
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Psychotic disorders are a group of serious illnesses that affect the mind. These illnesses alter a person’s ability to think clearly, make good judgments, respond emotionally, communicate effectively, understand reality and behave appropriately. When symptoms are severe, people with psychotic disorders have difficulty staying in touch with reality and often are unable to meet the ordinary demands of daily life. However, even the most severe psychotic disorders usually are treatable.
There are different types of psychotic disorders, including:
Disorganized or incoherent speech
Confused thinking
Strange, possibly dangerous behavior
Slowed or unusual movements
Loss of interest in personal hygiene
Loss of interest in activities
Problems at school or work and with relationships
Cold, detached manner with the inability to express emotion
Mood swings or other mood symptoms, such as depression or mania
You show some of these signs.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
I reported you !
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
So you need to not bother people if there bothering you or are you physcotic? You seem to not understand anything.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
He just asks for attention. Many people seem to go off on him . In his mind he thinks that’s a true friendship with people . He has few friends maybe . None in real life there all online. I wouldn’t hang out with him. Going on each and every site & post bullying/posting comments that’s stuipd will make people hate you. You won’t get riends. You are a coward in real-life by nitpicking on women also girls on sites. So go figure.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
You think everyone is the same on each post and site. Yeah almost over 100 + people is the same people there coming to get you. Run ! ha. I think youtube & of course this post has some stupid comments. Some people has really proven that. All thought I must say. Fact: There are many of people going on sites each day just not one or whatever. sordid guy is such a dumbass he believes anything he thinks on top of his head & posts it. He’s guilty of being a clueless person with no knowledge about anything or info in that matter. I made myself very clear on those topics. YouTube has some crazy people.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:30 pm
You are pretty much a fruit cake by trolling & going on posts ranting & calling people names on posts. Sorry you have no life & can’t read titles on boards.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Go away. You are a dumbass . I found proof on that. Even on here since you are fighting with others about non-topic subjects. You must not be able to read dumbass.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Okay you just prove how stupid you are on sites. No need to tell you no one can’t. I can see that. You are so dumb you can’t seem to relize it yourself.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:46 pm
You’re lying blondey…..you know you don’t have any friends you stupid byotch!!! hahahahahaha!!!!! That’s why you sit here talking to yourself idiot! hahahahhahahaha!!!! What a lying sack of shit you are! hahahahahahahhaha!!!!….AND butt ugly!!!!!hahahahhahahaha!!!! If my dog had your face I’d shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards!!!hahahahahahaha!!!!!
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 pm
A friend sent me this link ! I just wanna say I did not read all comments. A few though. & Some just can make the most stupid comments. Not the one’s where people stand for them self or correct. The whole rants at people is stupid . This post is about a another whole thing. One is not to be using rants at people & following them around on blogs. People should do whatever they please . They can’t with idiots around ranting. I did see sordid guy online. He proves a point of being stupid even when you tell him he believes he’s smart. Yes ranting at people on every blog & post is real smart . You must be real stupid then you prove it. I don’t get this he made fun of gay people on blogs all though he got onto a guy on you tube for saying stuff he was not supposed to about gays. How can anyone believe you? We can’t. You lie ! There are laws to sit you in place . You can keep ranting. Not believe it.It’s true. I don’t know how old you are if your ages 12 and up you should know better and can be arrested. If I were you I would not be going on blogs making up stories also making fun of people for being different. Those are hate crimes. You have been reported to internet services . Also authorities. I think people should report you since you keep being warned you won’t stop. You don’t have a clue about people. So keep or ranting you will in a jail cell they’ll think you are crazy. You can make a plea of being stupid also insane. tell them you don’t know anything . They’ll figure all that out hopefully.
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:24 am
I read up just now some trolls may have bipolar disorders #1 disorder some have & can have. Maybe this sord. guy is not taking any meds or whatever. So he must rant at random-innocent people on blogs cause he’s crazy ! There are times when innocent people are mistaken for trolls because they come into the chat or forums seeking help and talk about disturbing situations regarding such things as family, relationships, or addictions. New chatters who are not accustom to chat etiquette can be mistaken for trolls. Once they learn our “chatiquette,” they become assets to the online community.
Dealing with Trolls
When a troll is acting out, some things you can do are:
Use the ignore feature. This blocks out the offensive remarks. This is the best way to handle a troll in chat when there is no host present. Imagine the frustration the troll will feel when no one pays any attention to anything it says!
Mommy not giving you attention this week? You are a dangerous fool looks like you may scare or hurt us on blogs lol yeah right ! Which is why you look to your left and look to your right and no one is standing by your side. Stop the pathetic calls for attention. Face it- You are a scum bag, Have a low education level make yourself look more stupid, telling on yourself about things. It’s not my fault or anyone’s That’s all I will be saying to you so adios.
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:15 am
Trolls are on every site. They tend to blame others don’t let them blame you. Just report them. They’ll cut that crap out. These trolls can’t even wipe there own ass*es. So yes they are stupid people. Will never grow up. I seen a few users (adults now) who still troll on blogs on different things and so & act crazy. They never can grow up-never will. AOl-Youtube-Others . Do not believe anything trolls tell you either people who do big mistake. Many does know these people do lie. Karma will come on them oneday to bad I guess huh?

Well this article was only ok, but then a belated surge of unspeakable crazy/stupid turned the comments section into a shining pinnacle of greatness. Unless of course it’ a work.
I agree with his point on this. Sorry if I got to bad most people will around stupid people who troll on blogs though ranting about people or at them with nonsense rants. I guess some can’t read clear. I do get mad as some others do. I understand the whole thing. I jump - report these little trolls who blog rants & stupid comments on everything. They just prove a lack of education.
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:01 am
I have to say youtube & yahoo.
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:00 am
He has no idea what he is saying on here or any post then. Looks just like he rambles on stupid comments pretty much. This site is to talk about dumb net sitespeople use & so . Not to mouth or bash people you ignorant little turd.
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:58 am
Some people who think everyone will be there friend. Not everyone is gonna like you got people who may like you and wanna be friends others No. The points of life is to to just take it. There are one’s like sordid guy guy make them self look stupid as ugly also no one wants to be there but a few people. People like him half of those are online not in reality.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:45 pm
oh also And posting, well, lies about people on blogs & over the net … he has broken multiple defamation laws. All I wanted to say
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:36 pm
In other words I mean for you to drop it, stop trolling on blogs, get a life. Some things on here are helpful . You are not. You make things worse as well as annoying for people. No one likes what you do either. Very few maybe 2 out of a post. Because they are not very smart either when it comes to thinking & talking normal.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I think I have said enough for you right now.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Sorry I try to speak english well & type but can’t. I am part indian.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I think what you do is try to blame others and spreak rumors and false info . Maybe you need to blame yourself. No one is doing bad they are making sense as well . You are not you just rant stupid comments that has no sense to them . Some are such bs. Back & fourth to people on blogs. This is not a troll blog ! It should be troll free. You really do piss people off if I were I would stop before I get myself in trouble. You don’t know about people. I saw your youtube. You got 2 friends. So I wouldn’t talk.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:20 pm
I never seen one comment that said I agree either he wrote. He’s trashing people & following them around like a dog. No one can believe you sorry.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:12 pm
stalkers online or otherwise are a threat to society and if they choose to disobey the law, then they choose to forgo their rights! Once someone has broken the law(ensuring that proof positive is provided) they should be striped of their rights. Action must be taken as it affects millions of people everyday, people think they can get away with it, as it is just freedom of speech… think again you are still harrassing regardless of the forum used!”
Linda janveaux
I must agree with this one ! Here read on little guy. I mean sordidguy.
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I am not weak neither is a alot of people you choose. Just seems you choose people out of nowhere . You will be reported in the next 24 hrs. if it does not stop.

These are the most frequently asked questions we receive about cyberstalking and/or harassment.
We have more extensive information about cyberstalking and cyberharassment, as well as one-to-one help and a self-help interactive guide and tutorial.
There are three basic type of stalkers
Simple obsessional stalkers, delusional stalkers and vengeful stalkers. There is of course often overlap of these basic definitions.
A simple obsessional stalker is anything but simple. They are typically the person who refuses to believe that a relationship is over, although they have been told repeatedly that it is.
Do not be misled by this type thinking they are harmlessly in love. Many of them were emotionally abusive and controlling during the relationship and many even have a criminal record unrelated to stalking.
This is the most common type of stalker.
The next type is the delusional stalker, they frequently have never had any contact with their victim beyond the boundaries of their own mind. They may suffer from mental illness like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or erotomania. What they have in common is a false belief that keeps them tied to their victims. In erotomania they believe that the victim loves them, even though they have never met. A good example of this is the man that stalked and killed Rebecca Schaeffer.
Another type of delusional stalker may believe that he and the victim are destined to be together and even though they may not have met if he only just shows how much he loves her then she will love him and they will be together as it is meant to be. An example of this type of stalker is John Hinckley Jr. that shot president Reagan in order to show Jody Foster how much he loved her.
A delusional stalker is usually a loner, unmarried, socially immature and does not possess the interpersonal skills to maintain friendships and relationships. They have had few if any sexual encounters. They most often choose victims that are unobtainable being a celebrity or a married woman, their doctor, teacher, nurse or therapist. Those helping professions are at risk for attracting a delusional stalker.
Delusional stalkers are very difficult to get rid of and many go on for many years fixated on one person.
The last type of stalker is the vengeful stalker. They get angry at their victim due to some slight either real or imagined. We have all heard of disgruntled employees, these are vengeful stalkers and can be just as dangerous as the delusional. They stalk to get even and believe that “they” have been victimized. Ex-spouses can turn into this type of stalker and violence is all to common a result.
What motivates these stalkers?
Sexual Harassment
Love-Obsession, Hate, Revenge, Vendettas
Ego & Power Trips
Sexual Harassment Online
People often say that the Internet is simply the offline world moved online, and it is in many respects. Sexual Harassment offline is all to common and fortunately in North America we have laws to protect people from discrimination and harassment in the workplace and many other venues.
If Sexual Harassment is common offline it is rampant online. There are many reasons for this. The first being that the ratio of men to women online is about 2:1 so the competition for women’s attention in the chat rooms is pretty intense. If you chose a feminine nickname to use in a chat room expect to be bombarded by propositioned by all the men in the room. If looking for intelligent conversation with people don’t use nicknames like Bambi and hang out in the #Romance channel. You won’t find it.
Online the usual pickup lines although corny but polite are thrown to the wind and instead they come right out and ask you very personal questions about your age, sex, location. They may start the conversation with an outright request for cybersex or your phone number to participate in phone sex.
There is very little respect shown and often the sexual harassment is so bad that many women avoid chatting online altogether. The presumed anonymity of the Internet seems to make some peoples manners and sense of etiquette fly out window. They show the worst of their personality and often exhibit behavior that they would have never shown in real life. Being aggressive and rude to other chatters, demanding and insistent with members of the opposite sex and generally people we would never choose to have in our personal lives. So don’t tolerate them online either.
Again use a genderless nickname and don’t advertise that your looking for romance online. The chances of your finding it are very slim and advertising for it pretty well guarantees you’re going to get the obnoxious people messaging you like crazy. Try to use the same manners online that you use offline when dealing with cashiers and bank tellers. Please and thank you’s are definitely in order as are polite conversation.
When joining a chat room, sit quietly for a few minutes to see the flow of the conversation before jumping in. This also may alert you to any people in the room you wish to avoid. If the operators of the chat forum allow people to be verbally abused and treated as sexual objects then perhaps you should find another place to chat that has some standards of behavior.
Love-Obsession
Love obsessional stalking has been in the news a fair bit in the last few years due to some high profile cases such as the murder of Rebecca Shaffer the actress and the stalking of famous people like David Letterman and Brad Pitt.
All of these cases are examples of Love Obsessional stalking. The victim of this type of stalker does not even have to have ever had a relationship with the person or even know them for that matter. The love is perceived by someone who is mentally unstable.
They imagine every day actions like walking on the same side of the street or buying the same kind of orange juice at the supermarket are secrets signs and signals you are giving them of your undying love. Bottom line the stalking is not about “You” at all but very much about the stalker and their state of mind.
For this reason avoiding this type of stalker, although they are not overly common can be difficult. Because you do not have to show them any attention or affection in order for them to become fixated on you, how can one prevent this from happening?
Love obsessional stalking also takes place online. Sometimes you form a casual friendship with someone online, or even a romantic one. When you wish to withdraw from this relationship the other person becomes obsessional. Constantly messaging you or e-mailing you. Even if you have never spoken to this person in real life they may seek you out finding out your offline information so that they can telephone or try to visit or mail you gifts. They may shower you with compliments and love or bombard you with hate mail but the bottom line is the same, they are obsessed and your a victim of stalking.
Every case of stalking should be taken seriously even those where there is no violence threatened in any manner. The case of Rebecca Shaffer is a prime example of this. He wrote her love letters and sent her gifts then showed up at her door one day and shot her dead in cold blood with no warning. “Never” assume that someone is harmless because they have not threatened you with violence. That can change at any moment.
If you feel that someone is obsessed with you, stop all communications immediately. Avoid going to the chat rooms where you meet. Change your online identity if necessary. Yes it is inconvenient, but your safety is at stake and that is more important than convenience.
Hate, Revenge, Vendettas (Flame Wars Out Of Hand)
What is a flame war? Well a flame war is basically an argument that is online. Someone voices an opinion that another disagrees with and the fight is on. Name calling, threatening from both sides.
How does it differ from harassment and stalking? Well the key factor is that a flame war is two sided. Both parties are involved in the flaming and arguing. Both respond to each others mails, posts etc. Flame wars are easy to get into and often difficult to get out of. You want to express your opinion, you want the person to understand your side. You “want” to win the argument. But as is the case in real life often “turning the other cheek” and walking away is absolutely the best path to take. You really don’t “know” the person your arguing with and can not predict how seriously this person will take the argument. Do you want this person to trace you to your home in order to win your point of view? Of course not. So be the bigger person and walk away.
What happens when you want to walk away and the other person won’t let you? This is when a flame war becomes harassment and perhaps stalking. They may post continuously about you in a defamatory manner. Create a Web site about you or your group or go as far as tracing you and calling you at home or work or even coming to see you offline
When anger fuels the harassment and someone can’t let go of that anger you are dealing with a potentially dangerous situation and you need to take action. Stop posting on the site of the flame war. Don’t respond to provoking posts or e-mails. Block the person from messaging you and from sending you e-mails. Disappear online by changing your identity and if necessary your Internet Provider. Your safety is more important than the inconvenience of having to change your online identity.
If any threat to your person is made make a report to your local police taking any logs or e-mails with you as evidence. Keep all correspondence in order for them to be able to be traced.
Ego & Power Trips
Ego & Power Trip stalkers are the most difficult to guard against. Like a gang that wanders the streets looking for likely victims, these stalker are out to prove that they can terrorize someone. And they don’t usually care who it is. They often choose their victims at random. Sometimes they choose someone they perceive as the weakest in the room. The ego & power trip stalkers are the bullies online. And they are looking for a fight.
Surprisingly, sometimes kids (especially mild-mannered, otherwise well-behaved) tend to masquerade as ego and power trip stalkers. They see it as innocent fun, and have no idea that the people on the other side are genuinely frightened.
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:56 pm
No trolling is not illegal. Stalking-Harassment is though. Even through Internet or in real life both are crimes.
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I will be contacting the authorities also and let them know what you are doing to people on the internet.
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Since you find this as like playtime & have serious issues sir. Maybe you need reported by a few users. You need help so please get it. I run across blogs like these and find some weird people. You are one of them. I am more like a troll stopper people like you are complete idiots and don’t relize it.
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Okay to be honest first step you guys wanna do about trolls. Ignore because they may have some issues. second step report them third more they are reported each person will know about them online & most like these types of people will be banned off many sites & blocked as meaning not allowed back on them. fourth if it gets out of hand say stop once. and fith final step don’t fight back and report to the authorities this can be called
harassment which is against the law now. They have also made internet laws back in the late 90’s It’s not all fun and games either it’s serious & can even be deadly. Trolls tend to spread lies, and even stalk people due to them having no life or outside life. They have a computer life as you might call it. As for you sordidguy I seen your little obession/troll comments. I will report you to the authorities myself and let them know what you are doing. You may wanna think twice.
Trolls are cowards in real life. They have nothing better to do. Most can’t hold jobs or have none & still live in with mommy and daddy sometimes. Teens do troll. All ages been have knowen to & caught. More teens do it.

View Full Version : Do guys really get raped by women ?
——————————————————————————–
Jack Mehoff05-05-2004, 05:01 PM
I was talking about this with my wife.
I just don’t see how a guy can get raped.
Just think if some ugly girl knocked you over with a beer bottle and then started to suck you off. Would you tell her to stop ? No matter how ugly the girl, I think the guy would enjoy it.
What do you think ?
This person is insane & proves all stupid comments.
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:32 pm
After finding this site um wow.
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
They prove points of stupid comments though. Ha
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:10 pm
I see a few trolls on here. It makes me sick.
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:09 pm
sordidguy guy proves a point of how stupid some people can be online ! *him*.
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:08 pm
So if you don’t like being told to stop & stuff. Then don’t be stupid and troll on every blog there is .
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Being sat into place does no good for some. You do they start trolling on blogs & following you around when you tell them the truth. The truth hurts . That’s called reality & life though. Deal with it you will oneday when you get jobs etc.

The stupidest place for comments would be AOL. They technically have a news section, and when browsing it you get a huge amount of White Supremacists and other stupidity.
Yes true also you get people who rant like sord giuy. They don’t even talk about the real issues or sibject that’s posted in big letters in front of there faces. I don’t even think they have a clue about stuff.
November 2nd, 2009 at 5:51 pm
It’s funny & yet ignorance trolls blame everyone around them.
November 2nd, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I have one account & one person. Myself I mean…
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Okay… now aol will delete your accounts as well as other sites if you keep it up.
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
You been put in your place & asked to stop by users many times in the past & now. Last blog for you !!!!! (been reported )
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
You think everyone is the same person. Even lastnight you believed I was you on a different account you have… Your delusional or not smart. Either way you been reported.
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:26 pm
You are a nut job & I will report you to authorities for stalkingpeople online.
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Sorry I do live in the real world unlike some people. Trolls have no real friends read up on it. They do have net friends though, different accounts, Even suffer from disorders.
November 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Sord guy I do infact have friends my aol troll /stalker. It’s stuipd of you to even say things you don’t know about people.
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:38 pm
blondey…you know that you have no friends..hahahahahahaha!!!!
November 2nd, 2009 at 1:42 pm
billusa2000 follows people on websites & posts trolling. This is an adult so please be warned & report him if you see him online making false statements Or using harassment. Since he follows people around he is believed to be one or both a stalker and-or a child predator. His mental state seems to be really not good. He can’t get nothing through as much as you report him & He gets into trouble online. Please report him to the authorities if you see him . Don’t say a word. Thanks.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:35 am
I mean people like ww with no clue at all of what they are really talking about. Just ranting.

Kunta Kinte say proves there ignorance by trolling. Black clothing is called that. Afrcia . He tends to rant on posts & calls out white women & fights with them. What a dumbshit.
November 1st, 2009 at 10:26 am
A classic CureZone troll is trying to make us believe that he is a genuine skeptic with no hidden agenda. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, “searching for the truth”, flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. Troll is usually an expert in reusing the same words of its opponents and in turning it against them. Also trolls may have mental problems very true on that & In real life very few friends not very smart as they seem to want everyone to think they are. If it gets out of control contact the police & Internet services. As well as friends and family. Some trolls are crazy and will threat some threats become real there has been a few to actually track down people. I call those stalkers also just not trolls. Ignore & Report. More you say stuff you become bad as they do. Even just saying a few things is fine not alot. Keep it at that. These people have no life in reality they are cowards. Look it up online you’ll find they are cowards on every blog & site just about.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:36 am
I would say it does no good to report them. Only few things seem to be done it makes me wonder why would they get all mad & upset over certain subjects? Esp. when the topic is based on that one subject. I wonder to myself if they get so mad are they child predators then? Why are they are gaming sites mostly fit for kids & young teens? Really worries me.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:31 am
Found her on a xbox thing as well to why in the he** would a growen up have an xbox & go on there sites? Also mdunn & this woman seems to get mad when you bring up real stuff oh how they hate it just like child predators should be brought to justice Seems to make most net users blood boil.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:28 am

Alison, I live on Long Island along with hundreds of thousands of conservative Republicans of all ages who are in great physical shape due to healthy lifestyles. For you to think that liberal Democrats fit this description, you really need to expand your horizons past the Army and get out into the real world. I proved my point of the most stupid commenter I have seen writting on blogs.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:24 am
can’t* sorry work computer not working well today ! Does not wanna type out or anything. Have to press buttons down really hard.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:24 am
So in other words this woman thinks people can do anything but her and no one is welcome anywhere but her.

November 1st, 2009 at 8:22 am
She complains one thing I hate is that. As well as ranting .
November 1st, 2009 at 8:20 am
Wrong sorry type o.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:20 am
At one point a few months back. I was on a blog happend to get up out of bed . Got online for a few minutes 1 a:m this troll goes why are you up at 1 a:m & ranted . So it just shows you how stupid people like that really are because they are up at the same time as you and posting. Blogs are made for all people you idiot. (eilinda ) Poster on aol /other sites. She also calls others uneducated. I must say she is the all time dumbest commenter I have seen posting . Simple fact is because she is up at the same times as others & ranting out of how uneducated they are. I suggest she needs to go back to learning stuff as well as the realworld stuff . So when someone posts how rong it is of someone saying the f word in front of people it is rude not to her. She thinks when someone posts that when it’s the topic of the day they are stupid. I don’t know where she came from where I came from just certain things you don’t do or say .
November 1st, 2009 at 8:12 am
They can’t talk about the topics. They tend to say stupid things & don’t relize how stupid there comments really are. Why even bother posting if you are just gonna rant and threat? If there was an award they’ed have to give it to some of those users on that site.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:11 am
Some AOL users are complete nuts also stupid. They think threating on posts and e-mails to users for months at a time is supposed to scare people. Some make fun of the dead on posts & seem to think it’s funny and that they really make friends and everyone likes them since they post out stuff like that instead they get jumped on like predators when caught also reported. They take the jumping on as friend like. Some even come on and repeat for 5 hrs to 7 hrs straight. straight like mdunn what an annoying twit she’s a troll after reports she goes to her next accounts & calls everyone out and a troll. She’s the one who’s a nut and trolling on blogs going off on people for no reason. Stupid Comments from her learn how to spell : Yet she makes mistakes like everyone else . Last time I checked there was no laws or sites checking up for spelling. They can lock your looney butt up.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:29 pm
He also will create accounts then somehow there gone 24 hrs later he bascially deletes them. And before he goes & tells people how stupid they are he may wanna take a look in the miror at himself god bless you & hope you have fun being bubbas lover in a few yrs in prison when you get caught.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:28 pm
sordidguy is a internet user/troll follows people on sites & bullies also uses harassment. One thing is when he calls people stupid he is the one that is most stupid of all time on blogs. He pretends to be internet users he’s not. He thinks he can’t be tracked down & caught. He is another nutcase on the loose & He is adult guys so beware & be careful . Do not respond to him or anything if you see him online under people’s accounts you see two you know one is him.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:43 am
4chans /b/ section, youtube comments, and the answers within the questions asked on answers are all pretty fail, check em out
October 30th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
the main reason yahoo answers is bullshit is because 50% of the people don’t answer the questions, but still respond. all somewhat along the lines of
“Wow that is a tough question, I don’t know. Maybe… (bullshit comment)”
October 30th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Sit theselittle buggers in there places.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I don’t think people should have a label saying troll when they speak there mind. That’s not trolling trolls hate it though when you do. When people go off & ranting & making threats those are trolls they can’t stand when people speak there mind. I think on the other hand they are crazy !
October 30th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
People need peace from that crap. So give them some as my mom always told me think before you speak… Some can do the same maybe.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
There are some trolls we need to stop from blogging on sites. They go way far with things. When they have different accounts & use harassment and bullying on alot of people that is trolling. It’s not funny it’s annoying & Showing how stupid you are to people. Get a life. The net is used to play games & Go online. Not trolling on every site & blog.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
What I don’t get is if people think this site is dumb or any comments why bother posting? It makes no sense I don’t like when people cplain I mean no one forces you to read these comments people post. If a site or comments bothers you don’t type or go on the site again. If you do then pretty much it seems like you just want attention from people. It’s stupid. I seen some comments how people complain & fight with others. Get a grip people. I am mature for my age gotta grow up sometime. If you are ages 12 to 17 for example you should know better.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
the Binary in the first set of comments says “BRAINS!”
October 30th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
You missed The Onion.
And Mad.
And Weekly World News.
Shame on you for skipping those, Cracked!
Not kicking your competitors while they’re on the ground!
October 30th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Why can’t people argue about different opinions of a writer’s work in the article’s “comments” section? If you want to regulate the comments section (and make it only between you and your readers) there are filters and other ways to do that.
Anyway, Bucholz seems to always have a bone to pick with “trolls” because he is the least funny of the most prominent Cracked writers. I can’t say he’s the worst writer ever, because he is, in fact, prominent, but he’s definitely not the best.
I guess all I’m really trying to say is that sometimes on blogging sites, it seems anyone that post anything critical about an article is labled a “troll”. A lot of times if I have something to say people respond “why don’t you make your own blog loser?!” or something like that. Why should I make my own blog? Why do I have to have a website to have an opinion? Sometimes I have a strong opinion about an article or the quality thereof and I want to say something. Isn’t that the drive behind a blog in the first place?
If you don’t want someone to write “Chris you are a pretty bad writer” under one of your crappier articles (the ones that seem to go on, and on, and on) just disable the comments. No one will hate you for it.
A troll is someone who goes off topic, screams about the NWO or “negros”, not someone who thinks your idea of “comedy” is stupid and writes a few paragraphs, explaining why that is so. Interestingly enough, your article does the same thing, only from your perspective.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:16 am
Awesome article. You did a great job on it. Sadly, after skimming through some of the comments I am forced to suggest you evaluate the quality of Cracked.com commenters. Actually, the worst part is that even though there are a ton of stupid comments, this is one of the tamest comment pages I’ve ever seen… Oh, well. Keep up the good work!
October 30th, 2009 at 4:39 am
Yo dis be sum gay nigga shit.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Very few people vote for his stuff online alot of times no votes. Most of the time he votes for his own stuff and will with everyone elses and low rank comments follow youaround etc. The guy is a mental case. So if you see him online do not talk to him. He has been reported they maybe looking into it & It may take a while before they can even arrest him. I seen online where he’s been reported many times so beware.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
How would he know all this stuff about people he posts? He does not he’s just an idiot and does not relize it & Does not live in reality.

October 27th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Trolls are in all ages though don’t forget , Most are teens though.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
So, what makes up the psyche of a troll? It could be the fact that they are missing something in their lives and they need a place to go. Others might suffer from a mental illness and may be desperately seeking any kind of attention, even if it’s negative.
A lot of trolls are teenagers who want to be mischievous without fear of repercussions. These people are pretty easy to spot since you can notice that their trolling time ends during school hours.
Others might find pleasure in getting people to believe they are who they claim to be. A sense of power is gained not by actually believing they are who they claim they are, but from being clever enough to fool people.
Yes this guy thinks everyone is dumb but him omg sord guy lol…. Sad you think your comments are smart like a post about something else you post how people can’t afford walmart how old are you 3? You just make more & more people hate you. Few are so trusting & believe anything though & They believe you not many though as you think your just a nutjob.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
And troll….
October 27th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Yes I am mad at you for your ignorance & Also I believe you should be looked into you . People like you worry me normal people would say I agree but no you get mad.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
This is one online troll who’s nuts and goes & makes up stuff, has 2 to 3 friends, & Is adult. He has nothing nice to say I only seen 2 or 3 things that was nice rest is sad . The thing is he has different accounts one minute he’s like sorry then the next you twit. he needs meds or something. He says everyone else is a troll even though they have one account………. Yes you are and all time dumb a** sordidguy only few people does not know it but many does. sordidguys is his youtube I have it saved on my other accounts because he sends dumb a** e-mails to people he don’t know saying stuff. How would he know? Oh he’s a stalker also but he would not know some stuff unless he is looking up stuff on people to snitch…….Guess what? Late for that don’t worry because reporting false crimes would get you jail time you already lost the battle you troll/perv. So before you make fun of people I like to point out you are an idiot with very little friends no wonder maybe because no one likes your kind. You ain’t sorry about anything you are just a damn troll who starts stuff online And an adult. Are you a predator ? Makes me wonder as well as other users since you bash all ages not caring then you post sorry you create new accounts then delete them when you are finish snapping at people . Loser !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Low-Life scum . I think you are one simple fact you got mad at people online when they said they hated child predators and snapped at people via threating/uncalled for e-mails. How sad you get all upset why is that? Not many do unless they got something to hide & Are one themself you throw fits on sites when people point out stuff about you. You been reported so we don’t have to worry about you.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
They would never get people on there side because no one likes them they are losers who sit on the computer 24 hrs. a day and live in a fantasy world they don’t know what reality is.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Remember trolls in real life are online cowards they tend to get a few people on there side . Online yes in real life no because they are punks.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
They go way far with things & Tend to break laws that proves there ignorance & Lack of respect as well as showing mental illness. Youtube/Aol Seen many have different accouts or sign off go on another one & Say it’s not me yeah okay dummies . Adults who act immature on posts/sites like that and teens at a age where they know better should not act like that unless they are types who needs to be locked up and a sraight jacket on. It’s old & annoying & Shows how dumb you are when you reapeat stuff or non-sense for hours on different accounts.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Online trolls . Lock these nuts up.
October 21st, 2009 at 1:34 am

October 1st, 2009 at 3:26 pm
YouTube. How could you forget YouTube? The only way to convey how dumb the comments are on that site is by example:
“wow ur discusting so many good ppl died on tht plane i hope u n ur family are on a plane and it crashes and all ur fam die apart from u so u have to live wiv dat pain u sik fukin twatty wanker bastard ur sik n its ppl like u dat make me think wow sum ppl shud rlly die”
…I rest my case.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Well this article was only ok, but then a belated surge of unspeakable crazy/stupid turned the comments section into a shining pinnacle of greatness. Unless of course it’ a work.
September 27th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
how did you not mention youtube?
loll its like the superbowl, olympics, world series, and world cup all rolled into one and dedicated to seeing who can be the first to lower their iq into the negatives!

Youtube has (without a shadow of a doubt) the stupidest commenters on the web.
It seems everyone that has an opinion on anything that is posted on youtube is invariably an idiot and wrong about everything.
September 6th, 2009 at 12:27 am
oh and youtube is really stupid. check out this video for instance

most retarded comments ive seen were on facebook groups…unfortunately thats hard to measure seeing as its really difficult to get alot of people into your facebook group
i do think that /b/ on 4chan should be on this list though…
oh and also the game, you all just lost
September 5th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Check out http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser if you want crazy commenters.
Seriously. It’s a news media discussion website, every thread becomes a venting place for Obama’s policies. It could be a thread on technical problems or “Charlie Gibson leaves ABC” and everything gets hijacked.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:24 am
Dude, YouTube has some comments so bad I think they needed help turning on the computer, some people don’t even check to see if their writing in the same language as the author!
September 1st, 2009 at 6:43 pm
4chan people are very intelligent, the comments are meant to piss people off. There is the occasional retarded poster like the one who unknowingly made the “cool guy” meme, but if you want retarded comments, go to youtube. Not only is it filled with retarded posters, it’s filled with racists and all types of people that shouldn’t even breathe. Good Article BTW.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:58 pm

August 29th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
YouTube, by far, has the worst community I’ve ever seen.
Do you really think I look at 4chan?
Many people have listed CollegeHumor as a stupid-comment-site, but those comments are intentionally stupid. Nearly every one is a inside joke or attempt to gain popularity amongst the other avatars. If you’re in the mood, the comments are generally far funnier then the videos.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
By far, the BBC forums are the stupidist, just look at any topic on this sample board http://www.bbc.co.u k/dna/mbcbbc/F2697954

Stupid is, as stupid does. Kinda familiar, huh?
Most of these “people?” have nothing to do except pull on their little wanks, and snicker in the dark about their “prowess” in commentative sport. Sport? Yes, that is what it has segued into.
A veritable sparring with your own demons issue that you believe gives you the right to make idiotic statements. If only everyone would have more sex, yeah, thats the ticket, more sex,,,say, thats not a bad idea! Hear that, ladies? Step up to the plate!

It’s like a badly moderated site filled with thousands of people stuck in their prebubescent years uploading crappy art and giving each other high fives on the face.
If you’re looking for stupid CONVERSATIONS, I’d suggest Omegle. :3 They are, at least, entertaining.

I only saw Free Republic and Rapture Ready mentioned twice.
For my dollar, you are hard pressed to find greater levels of batshit insanity without delving into the deeper fringes. Not simply insanity, mind you, but dirt stupidity.
Any website where the norm is for articles about remote-controlled chihuahua dogfights to end up with comments and rants about President Obama being a Nazi and the Antichrist HAS to top the stupidity meter.
August 19th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
The random binary translates in to the word “brains!”
August 18th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I didn’t read all the comments, but for me YouTube is without a doubt the worst place on the internet.
Every single video about atheism or religion sparks an insane debate, most other videos manage to start up a fight (for instance, there isn’t a single video of the Office without an angry debate over which is better, UK or US, or even a video of an actor that has appeared on either show without the same debate), commenters are just inanely stupid, and guys are constantly being lewd to any girl who uploads a video.
YouTube is Idiot Kingdom.

Well if you are looking for a place to view paralyzing stupidity Myspace is an excellent canidate. I used to actually surf the forums, blogs, and chat rooms on Myspace. Until I realized that everyone on it, including myself, must be mentally defficient. I’m sure you could write a great article base on that, if you like.

August 13th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Gahh-the worst travesty of a website talk back is Aint It Bale News
Imagine the most retarded losers getting thrown off of the Aint It cool forums and there you go.
This site is pathetic-whining about 1980s movies, worshiping christian bale, and generally making up stupid photoshopped articles.
There are all of 9 subscribers to this pitiful site-and all they do is engage in manly reacharounds and drum circles.
these lame hacks need to be dispatched by bill paxton ASAP-they are the definition of immature, frustrated wannabe writers!!!
God, do they suck?
August 13th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
The comments left on youtube videos are easily the stupidest, and while they don’t necessarily count as forums, one could simply search “flesh eating robots” and read the comments left on the top (n) hits. Of course, that’s assume that person’s brain wouldn’t implode from the sheer lack of intelligence (like most would). Maybe we could find a few twilight fans to read them for us…
August 12th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
oh. i saw the robot article on hplusmagazine.com
compared to the linked article.. what i read seemed a bit more detailed.

Sun-stealer, that was a brilliant fucking reply. Clearly Cracked has the most intelligent commenters - at least in the top ten - of websites.

By the way the site with the stupidest commenters is by far youtube. I don’t even think there’s a question there. It’s worse than IRC chats and AOL even.

Go read some history, bucko. You did nothing you weren’t forced to or paid to. And given what the US has been up to since then, I wish we HAD lost the fucking war.”
Take a look outside at all those CCTV cameras looking right back at you. Clearly, you did lose. The nazis were defeated, but Europe still fell to fascism.
August 11th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Collegehumors comments are insanely retarded..almost as much if not more than youtubes.
August 10th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
“Interestingly, very few commenters saw fit to mention how their asses were bailed out in WWII. Bizarre.”
Yes. You bailed all the other countries who had been fighting against the Axis in WW2, disregarding the fact that you refused to get involved until the allied forces in Europe had essentially won before you decided to send troops.
The supplies that were sent from the American Government were put to good use, yes, but that doesn’t classify as “bailing our asses out.”
So just think about this: You finally sent soldiers several years after the war had started, when we were pushing through Germany into Berlin, claimed you saved us all because we were clearly losing, and then had the gusto to THEN ask the other allies for help in defeating Japan after you were bombed.
And what did the rest of the Allies do when you asked? We didn’t sit on our asses for several years, we helped.
But yeah, you totally saved us in WW2, good job. Nice to see the American schools are teaching history to paint the “OMG AMERICA RAWKS” picture.
August 10th, 2009 at 7:00 pm

There are seriously so man lemony-iq having über-republican idiots there that you can get hundreds of hits for “Canada sucks”. And noone go badmouthing us now that that’s been brought up. We did more for both world wars. And all other countries that I know of hate your type of American (the ones who make Canada sucks videos) and you’re too stupid to notice.

BGH122: “Thank you, America, for bailing our arses out when you realised “HOLY SHIT!? The Axis are attacking -US- now?!”
Actually, if you maybe STUDIED whatever history they teach you across the pond, you’d know that America was giving your country aid way before Pearl Harbor, in the form of destroyers and supplies, at the risk of American lives when ships were attacked by Germans. Britain would have been speaking German long before we entered the war, so please check your facts before you start waggling your tongue at us. Just because it happened sixty years ago doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

August 4th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
I think I agree with BGH122. My second world war knowledge isn’t great, but I’m pretty sure that the war ended in early May 1945 in Europe, and yet America was content to carry it on until mid August 1945 with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 6th and 9th of August? Correct me if I’m wrong, (seriously, please do) but I can’t think of an instance where America “bailed us out”.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
If you ever decide to do an offshoot of this based solely on newspaper’s sites, you should absolutely check out the Anchorage Daily News… The comments you’ll find on there are arguably the most “colorful” responses you will find on any “reputable” news source’s website.
August 4th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Chris, I think you just became my favorite Cracked writer. This + your Twilight MMO article = golden laughter.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
As a Londoner, I’d just like to say a big sarcastic thank you for bailing our arses out in WWII when we, The Brits, saw fit to charge into a battle it looked fairly sure we couldn’t win just because the moral onus was on us to do so. Thank you, America, for bailing our arses out when you realised “HOLY SHIT!? The Axis are attacking -US- now?!” Thank you for your clear, kind-natured altruism and for sticking to your moral duty as free people to immediately act to free enslaved populaces from the grasp of insane dictators. Thank you, a million times thank you.

The best one from yahoo answers I saw had a screen taken and placed on failblog which read something like.
“Why are there school, and why do we need it?”
Honestly though, slashdot should not be on that list, I know it’s already been said god know how many times but where is youtube, 4chan and deviant art?
4chan. 1000s of illiterate, racist, perverted and completly anonymous 16 year olds.
Youtube. Same as 4chan only slightly more moderated. However as you say more users = more stupidity, which in some cases means that there are more stupid comments to be found there.
Deviant art. Mainly due illiteracy and Japanophiles.
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:51 pm
DeviantART has a good number of people who try to keep the quality level up. However, ANY piece of anime fanart (and dA is chock full of it) incites a wave of “LAWLKAWAII!!!!11111!XDDDD” like none other. It’s either that or kids will bash the hell out of it with such brilliant and insightful critiques as “u sux u r not a artist”.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I was honestly expecting 4chan to be on this list…

August 2nd, 2009 at 2:22 pm
I don’t understand the point of this? This article was very funny, but to ask such a question for people to answer and comment on seems flawed and cruel. I feel violated for having taken the time to type anything at all, and for reading through some of these comment/answers.
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:23 am

Photobucket has gotten really stupid since they started allowing comments on pictures. For example, search Michael Jackson and look at some of the pictures with several hundred comments written as though they were speaking directly to MJ himself, and not a poorly edited tribute picture.

Making that one of the funniest yet most subtle comment I’ve personally encountered.

It’s a small town newspaper that allowed comments on its articles, for a particularly awesome batch, check out any of the letters to the editor.
July 27th, 2009 at 11:29 am
fmylife.com is filled with the most ignorant/angry commenters. I think they’re mostly teenagers with ~angst~
failblog.org has by far the most annoying commenters I’ve encountered. At least Yahoo! Answers are so ridiculous they’re funny.
July 26th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
How about Fox News.com??? There should be some really articulate,unbiased and and well tought out comments

July 26th, 2009 at 3:35 am
Just about any gaming site is full of idiots, spammers, fail-trolls, people who think they’re 1337, etc. Kongregate is possibly the worst example. On that site, I’ve seen people ask ‘how do u play tihs agem’ despite the fact that there was a tutorial.
July 25th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
“How did you miss YouTube? I like to play a game on YouTube, player one picks a category, music, sports, politics etc and player two looks for a random video in that area. Player two must guess what the video is about based on the player one reading off the three topmost comments below. Try it, it ranges from piss simple to fucking impossible.”
That sounds like fun.

And now to enlist your help, dedicated and gullible reader! With more than 1000 websites on the Internet today, it would be impossible for me to survey them all. That’s while I’ll make you do the work for me! Are there any particularly stupid places on the Internet that I overlooked? The kind of website where dogs start to bark at the computer when you browse them? Let me know in the comments below. I totally promise not to be dismissive of everything you write there!
[Sir. Do you mean 4Chan?]

Cracked. No contest.
If I see one more spam comment for muslimdating.com, I’m going fucking postal on all of you.
July 25th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Youtube’s commenters give new meaning to the terms “troll” and “flamer”
Look up any video that’s remotely politics-related and you’ll see what I mean.
Also, “Skatboard?”
Is that an actual Limey word, or a particularly unfortunate typo?

July 24th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I was surprised at first to find that YouTube wasn’t on the list, but I guess that it goes without saying that YouTube is 10/10 stupids.
Current.com has started to slip from a place where dorky kids who are into citizen journalism hang out and talk shop, into… something else.
They’ve started to get Ron Paul people there. I blame them.
I don’t think it would be fair to include Facebook, because those are just the people you (supposedly) know. So if your facebook is stupid, it’s because you know lots of dumb people. Sucks to be you.

Youtube, fmylife, cracked.com, collegehumor.com, I’d suggest any of the *chans but that’s just material that no sane person would ever want to dig into. Del.icio.us? Facebook? Myspace?

1. Twitter
2. Facebook
3. Youtube
4. Collegehumor
5. Cracked

This has no doubt already been pointed out already, but I can’t be bothered to read all the comments.
That said - when discussing the focal points of stupid discussion on the internet I am amazed that fark.com and 4chan weren’t at the top of your list.
If you want to get even dumber, but more topic specific, then the absolute epicenter of stupid is the comments threads on perezhilton.
I first heard about perezhilton *because* of people talking about how stupid the discussion threads were…
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I think the amount of people here who have asked why youtube isn’t on the list officially qualifies cracked for having the stupidest commenters on the web due to their inability to understand the concept of a premise. For fuck’s sake people, read the fucking article.
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:40 pm
A follow-up analysis of “was the moon landing faked?” should be done right away. if we could harness the crazy on youtube on that one we’d solve global warming.
… then perhaps a second follow up on “is global warming real?”, come to think of it.
and to round this out: Dizzi: to post about someone’s lack of intelligence is the _epitome_ of irony.

July 23rd, 2009 at 10:04 am
There’s this site, called “Youtube” or something like that. It has lots of amateur videos and stuff. You should check it out — the commentaries are probably the lamest, worst ever on the Internet.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:07 pm
THIS.
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
As a long time user of Yahoo Answers, I will readily admit that it has the stupidest comments/questions. But that’s the whole point.
A number of us intentionally post the stupidest questions we can think of. (My best was “My socks smell like fritos corn chips. Is it wrong that it makes me hungry?”) The Yahoo community frowns on these types of questions and eventually boots us off. We just sign up again and begin posting more stupid.
I love Yahoo Answers.
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I love failblog but every comment on that site is a part of a massively unfunny in-joke circle jerk that makes me seethe with rage. I actually click on their youtube clips for intelligent comments. YOUTUBE!

I ask questions like “can i get high off of bananas”, and all i get back is “don’t get high, it will make you dead and or not smart”, and of course the reply thats on every question on yahoo, “i have no idea about any of that stuff at all but i do like bananas”. wtf.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 am
I know its a cracked article and supposed to be funny, but this one’s just *not* … the trouble with social networks isn’t that stupid comments are being posted - that’s just free speech in action … the trouble is when stupid comments aren’t then thumbed down to the point where they’re hidden due to poor ratings - which is the best part of free speech in action: the sharing of knowledgeable information which increases understanding …
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 am
The binary code post has to do with the Flight of the Conchords song called “Robots (the humans are dead).” Towards the end of the song, one of them says binary solo and goes 0011 100011 01 10 01110 until the song is over.

Fine, even though i dont use yahoo answers, ill give you the small victory of saying that it’s “great” and “useful” that any random douche can give anyone advice on anything, but the fact of the matter is that the comments above are comments pulled off the site. Me:1 You:Overprotective retard
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:54 am
WoW.com, a usually respectable site for World of Warcraft news, gets bombed with stupid every time a political topic/China is brought up. When it was reported that GLAAD stated they wanted to deal with homophobia in online communities, the site was bombarded with homophobia.
Similarly, everyone wants to play a Panda or a Werewolf as a character.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:47 am
Wow. 488 comments- too many to read(at the moment).
I was going to nominate “OMG” even though they didn’t have an article about EATR, but then I saw they’re an off-shoot of Yahoo. Hahaha. Now I just feel silly.
Also … Kudos Chris, for not going in for the easy kill… FoxNews. Ok, so they(FoxNews) doen’t have comment sections on their articles. feeling silly still.
Had some fun at Huffington Post. Soylent Green reference within the first 15 comments.

And if Cracked isn’t funny, why the fuck are you reading it?

Marmite is some yeast extract that is a “love it or hate it” product. They literally put that in the adverts for it recently.
I know I wont be the first person to write that, but fuck it, I had a quick scroll down and nobodies said it in the last 10 posts or so.
oh and as for WW2…………… whatever. I’m pretty sure Russia (and Britain) did a lot more than America to win that. I appreciate thats a joke, but I bet there’s a fair few people reading this who’ve got most of their WW2 knowledge from Saving Private Ryan, U-471 and other Hollywood stories
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:49 am

In response to your comment: “very few commenters saw fit to mention how their asses were bailed out in WWII. Bizarre.”
I’d like to point out that Americans requested our (Britain’s) help during the Cold war when YOU fuckers needed us in the Fifties (as our bombers could get to the Soviets far, far quicker than yours, due to our geographical placement) and that this was, in large part, responsible for the “success” of the M.A.D doctrine.
Also, how peaceful or successful would America be now if the entirety of Europe had been captured by the Soviets? How successful would your missile defence systems have been without BRITISH developed technologies such as RADAR? How successful would your technology companies (Microsoft/Apple) have been without the genius of Alan Turing, developer of Colossus (the machine used to crack the Nazi communication cypher, and the father of modern computing: see turing machine)
Think before you post fucking inflamatory nonsense that is at best ignorant and at worst, racist.
Also: your articles are not funny.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:14 am
Marmite is a yeast spread which i believe originally came from the fires of hell itself. There is no middle ground with marmite you either love it or hate it and thats what the whole advertising campaign is built around. So yeah, the guy is just really hoping the robot hates marmite. I think he stands a good chance to as robots are built to be logical and marmite tastes like slurping yeast out of a dying mans rectum.
Dear god i’ve never typed marmite so much in all my life.

“honestly the only war you won on your own was your civil war and you still lost half of that”
Actually they had a nice helping hand from the French.
“Yes, the Russians made it to Berlin first, but the Americans weren’t far behind. Considering how the Americans were the largest single portion of the D-Day operations that allowed Russia to stop getting it’s face smashed, you’re doing them a huge discredit.”
As has been said, incorrect in the first case, and in the second, by June 6th the USSR had retaken most of Russia proper, swathes of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic states and were beginning an offensive in Finland.
Stalingrad was in 1943 dipshit.
Cheers
PS
Actually it was the Yanks who decided Berlin was not a priority, despite Churchill’s recognition of its importance in the post-war world so erm yes, you were quite far behind actually (the river Elbe if I remember correctly).

“Well I had to look up a half dozen different words (I’m pretty sure Marmite is a joke) to even understand these comments, so I’d be hard pressed to say these guys were stupider than me.”
Considering only Marmite and Yank are English words I’d be inclined to agree.
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:05 am
In addition, have you checked the comments after any of the web comics posted here? Some great cases of completely missing a sense of humour and/or the point there.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:58 pm
Must admit that youtube was the first thought I had upon reading the title of this article. Stupidest comments section by far.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:52 pm
break.com has some pretty epic stupidity on their videos pretty much all the time. marmite is yeast extract and its amazing (although apparrently theres a 50/50 chance of you hating it) and bailing us out in WW2 would have probably consisted of not just ignoring the fact it wa happening until the japanese took a collossal shit on pearl harbor.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:46 pm
Uhhh, you forgot about Cracked.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:45 pm

this is a great article, but i think its worth noting that in just about every site and in every subject, discussion will eventually turn to political debate, usually very uneducated debate. And there’s ALWAYS the prick rattling off facts and statistics, the guy who somehow relates everything to blaming the jews, and in response to that the jewish nerd comment, “Wow dude, REAL mature.”

Y!Answers in the #1 spot? Well I guess I’m biased, as I’m a frequent user, but WTF? I’m not THAT stupid. We just happen to be bogged down by trolls…
July 21st, 2009 at 10:38 pm
You really should have ran this article on cracked in some roundabout way, and included yourself in the survey. Cause cracked has definitely got it’s fair share of stupid.
Also, 4chan, but a place where stupid is the point isn’t a great example of unbiased stupidity.
But really, you hit yahoo answers but not youtube?

um fucking hell? Where the hell is Youtube u retard?
July 21st, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Fun fact: In order for someone to convey to you via the comments section that they are all three of your favorite types of commenters (Nude co-eds. People who post ‘8===D’ and nothing else. Naughty co-eds) they would have no choice but to send you a naughty, naked picture of themselves on their college campus with the text ‘8===D’ (since there can be nothing else).
I doubt you planned that, but nice choice of wording.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:42 pm
I suggest youtube, collegehumor, and fark.
Youtube has comments that are so shitty they’re at least entertaining. Collegehumor, on the other hand, has comments that are not only stupid but super boring too. Like half the comments are either people yelling First or just posting their username. I shit you not.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Okay… I demand an explanation. WHERE IS YOUTUBE‽ That site has got to have the worst commenters anywhere.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Yahoo Answers actually forces a question mark at the end, so either you’re too lazy to put a question mark or you actually do and look like a jackass with two question marks.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Holy shit, YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. Please cover YouTube.
Also, the IMDB forums are completely unmoderated and therefore horrible.

lol_alf, he does mean record scratch. It’s a commonly used sound effect in tv shows that typically comes after a ridiculous statement and right before a “WTF?” look from somebody else.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Youtube’s bound to be right up there with Yahoo answers.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Well, what to say? I’m actually willing to comment on an article. I’ll try to keep it brief. First things first:
Regarding the question marks thing in Yahoo Answers, one would be led to believe that the reason the question marks are present in statements that are not even questions is due to the inherent stupidity of the people to post them. Nonetheless, I believe to have read somewhere (never having used the service myself) that Yahoo Answers automatically adds a question mark to the end of every entry.
My other point is in relation to Bucholz’s general attitude towards comments. Surely enough, stupid shit is often seen, but this IS the Internet. It is only natural that stupidity and silliness should outnumber the more insightful comments. People are usually dicks online, and the whole INTERNET IS SRS BSNS meme makes the users’ general attitude apparent.
But that’s just my two cents.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:51 pm

I’d also say that Yahoo Answers and YouTube are amazing magnets for stupid.
But don’t forget the intentionally-psychotic, ugly train-wreck that is 4chan.
Plus the deeply cranked-out political forums, like Free Republic. The more right-wing, the “better”.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think you meant to say “record scratch.” There’s a similar “record stop” sound effect that makes more sense, unless men eaten by machines reminds you of old school hip-hop music.
My vote goes to Youtube, where comments along the lines of “lol,” “rofl,” and “ftw” run into the hundreds.

July 21st, 2009 at 6:35 pm
I would have to go with Youtube. Comments are often so inane they not only manage to offend at least 50% of all watchers of the video, but also make you wonder what the hell the commenter was smoking when he posted it. People will go off on completely irrelevant tangents, and then someone else will get offended by what they said, sparking a flame war about Transformers on the comment thread for an excerpt from a David Attenborough documentary. Also, users tend to respond to other commenters by just posting their own comment rather than “reply”ing to the one they wanted to respond to. This results in situations where you have two relatively on-topic comments giving user’s general opinion of a Metallica music video, while sandwiched in between them is a comment that says something along the lines of “stfu fuck nugget u r ingorent and dont kno nothen about lepords.” This increases the random stupidity exponentially. I think Youtube probably wins the prize for this one.

July 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Just saying, the only reason there are question marks at the end of sentences on Yahoo! Answers is because if you don’t add one to the end, they add it automatically.
(Not trying to be a “know-it-all,” just letting you know.)
And I would have to say, MySpace would be one of the stupidest websites of all time, as far as users go.
(Although most are super young, so perhaps that doesn’t count.)
Also, YouTube is chalk-full of idiots.
But again, many of them are quite young…

July 21st, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Not that it makes the Yahoo questioners any less stupid, but they weren’t putting the question marks there; Yahoo answers automatically does that. Still, they were indeed too stupid to put their topics in the form of a question.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:46 pm
I was waiting for you to mention Youtube, you lose a braincell for every syllable read of the comments. Sure, their vocabulary consists mainly of 1 and 2 syllable words, but strings of “!!!!” and “as;dkfjfksaf” garble act as multipliers.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pm

The lend/lease programme went fine thanks, we finished paying you off a couple of years ago. Thanks for being so generous about ’saving the world’ - here’s a life belt, that’ll be $150,000,000,000.
The British weren’t ’stuck on our island’ we actually fought across the world in the Pacific and defeated the Germans in North Africa.
In the D-day landings 73,000 troops were American and 86,000 were British and Commonwealth. So bang goes your ‘not very many’ slur. way to disrespect the thousands who died to keep you accumulating body fat.
And about the Battle of Britain not being significant, where do you think D-Day was launched from, America? No actually.
And Americans wonder why the world hates them.

I second the view of an earlier commenter: The undisputable King of Stupid is worldnetdaily.com.
To give you some idea, their top *nine* stories are all variations on ‘Obama is secretly a kenyan and faked his birth certificate.’ Numbers ten and eleven are financial scams only an idiot would fall for. From then on it’s a mix of conspiricy theories and marketing disguised as news.
That’s just the stories. The comments are even worse. You’ll have to search a bit, as front-page stories usually have comments disabled.

I’m ashamed to admit to knowing this, but… Yahoo answers adds a question mark to the end of your question if you didn’t already have one. This is why non-questions get a question mark after them.
July 21st, 2009 at 4:00 pm

This makes an illustrative case for YouTube: http://xkcd.com/202/
I also want to say something moronic in the spirit of this article…
Umm…

2) I also bet that about 50% of the comments are from people who think they’re clever saying that Cracked has the stupidest commenters.
I shall now read the comments and report on my findings.

I believe Something Awful has the worst ones collected with their weekend web stuff. Let’s be frank. people who read those comment sections loose half their brain in the process and reply in a even shittier way.
That’s how the internet works…
July 21st, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I agree with some of the other people in these particular set of comments. Youtube is the goddman King, Queen, and Pope of stupid comments.
I would also like to disqualify places like 4Chan, since there isn’t much intelligence to go around as it was anyway.
July 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Heh did point out that the basis of the study was stupid comments about the same story. YouTube and Cracked don’t typically cover news.
Drudge might have been interesting to check, just because of the ultra-right wackos that hang out there.
July 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Only the very crucible of internet stupidity: 4chan.
July 21st, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Cracked comment sections are pretty much the only ones I bother to read, and even then I ignore the majority of the sleep-inducing shit you people write on a daily basis.
With that being said, Cracked by far has the stupidest commentators on the web. And I’ll even include myself in that category, if I’m looking at it from the perspective of some uncreative cocksniffers that couldn’t possibly come up with anything humorous or interesting to say, but are quick to pass judgement on others who do so.
Nah, on second thought, Ebaums has a higher rate of inbred pig-fucking hicks leaving hate comments for every video. Even if it’s a clip of a couple of teenagers doing Parkour or some other acrobatic shit.
July 21st, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I can’t believe you didn’t rate cracked. I guess it was too easy.
Next time you should just do stupid sites, here’s 3:
fuckthesouth.com
goshatesshrimp.com
and (my favorite) petsorfood.com

The Guardian site is full of left or right (I can never remember) wing do-good-ers.
Marmite is a yeast based spread, that is either loved or hated.
Most of the people here in England are foreign, or are fucking stupid as our schools are dumbing down their content.
BTW, you Yanks turned up 5 years late to the war. We handled it all just fine without you shooting at our troops as well as the Germans.

Youtube definitely has the worst commentators, but since all it has is videos you cant really use comments on the site’s reports. If you want a comparison though, go to Digg and read The Story of Prisoner F95488, and then the comments. (http://digg.com/other_sports/The_Story_of_Prisoner_F95488) Apparently one youtuber suggested that all his followers migrate to Digg to comment and vote on the story. Let’s just say its not hard to distinguish the youtubers from the diggers, even though neither side is represented very well.

Bad columnist! You can’t say that the British are more intelligent than you, that’s their whole ploy!

Someone’s probably already said it, but you need to find a Youtube video about it and check its comments. The degree of stupid will be unimaginable.
Also, the British people were probably a lot dumber than you’d think, despite all those words you had to look up. See, in England they just make up words. A lot of them. Just to fuck with us.

@Dougie,
Don’t get your knickers in a knot mate, the World Wars are old news. It’s not like any of the people from those wars are around to be offended by that comment. And the ones that are probably don’t read Cracked, if not for its immaturity and that it requires computer skills then surely because they’re old and senile, suffering from shell shock, or simply have a case of the willies. Cheers.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:52 am
I wholeheartedly agree with the people who said AOL. It’s like overhearing conversations at the local Wal-Mart in a poor, southern American city. The idiot, white superemacist drivel I’ve read there makes me want to punch a baby.
In fact, I think AOL is where the parents of all the morons who comment on youtube go to read their news…

Luckily for Western civilization, bannination.com exists to serve as a lofty exchange of ideals and a civilized meeting place where debates can unfold in an atmosphere of peace and serenity. All our citizens are witty and urbane, and all our women are exceptionally beautiful in addition to being highly educated and articulate.
Conceived by a Scotsman of noble birth ably assisted by a loyal cadre of genetically engineered supermen, bannination.com is a shining beacon of truth and purity in the swirling cesspool of Internet discussion sites. You will find no trolling or chicanery here, ladies and gentlemen - only a level of discourse so elevated that Ivy League ethics and debate courses routinely study our conversations as examples of all that is good and holy about the human condition.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:44 am
I don’t often read comments sections, but for my money failblog.org has to have the stupidest commenters on the web. People vote for future submissions to the main page and the obviously staged or photoshopped pictures always get a huge response. Then when they get to the main page the comments generally have little to do with anything until someone points out the staged/photoshopped nature of the photo and people get up in arms for even questioning it.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:44 am
eggman is right. Youtube commenters are the worst.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:44 am

July 21st, 2009 at 11:43 am
Dougie, Really? You’d thank the USSR? because it was your british hero Chruchill that BEGGED Roosevelt to help him. Begged. Like a dog. And do you really want to bring up WWI? Cause we bailed your ass out in that one to IIRC. Maybe if england hadn’t tried to appease hitler, you wouldn’t have had the shit bombed out of you country.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:42 am
Maybe the people at YTMND who try too hard to be intelligent, and just end up looking stupider than the others.
And this one is too obvious, but Youtube is a definite one. Search for anything even vaguely political; and Hitler, Commies, Fox News, and assertions of civilians killed in UAV strikes come up immediately.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:34 am
how about cracked? Do you actually read the comment section for most of this stuff? Its either pointing out the lack of research in articles (me, among others,) deliberately taking up an offensive or stupid opinion for the sake of trolling, or just meaningless hate (see EVERY VIDEO ON THE SITE EVER!!!!) Also why no 4chan or gaiaonline? They pretty much define stupid when it comes to comments
July 21st, 2009 at 11:30 am
Based upon my own study I’m forced to conclude ‘Cracked’ has the stupidest commenters. Mainly because of the 5 people I had looking at this sites comments: 2 clawed out their own eyes, 1 committed suicide after 5 minutes, and 2 are staring at a blank screen and drooling.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:30 am
I would get pissed off at the “we bailed you out in WWII” comment but wouldn’t it be better if everyone stopped getting angry about it? The Allies beat the Nazis together. Without the Americans, the war would have probably been lost, but without the British, it still would have probably been lost. There’s no point in getting annoyed when all that matters is our countries worked together against a common enemy and won.
Pointless bickering get’s nobody anywhere.
Other than that, great article.
“Because of their close proximity to the Queen, I assumed that English commenters would generally have better control over their spelling and grammatical structure than those of us in the colonies.” genuinely made me lol.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:27 am
Probably already been said, but youtube is the most retarded place for comments on the internet. Especially when the comments are completely off topic (a “funny cats” video gets turned into a religious debate for example)

An observation here: has anyone else noticed that on any site you visit, whenever someone mentions U.S. in any way, the comments will eventually devolve into who kicked whose ass and who fought better and listing battle outcomes? It’s basically U.S. vs. the world and…fuck. I forgot what my point is. I think Res_Ispa had the right Idea down there…
Res_Ipsa Says:
July 21st, 2009 at 8:59 am
Why are we fighting about which of the Allied Nations was “the best”? The Brits mangaged to hold off the Nazis until the Nazis decided they actually love two-front wars and violated the non-aggression pact with the Soviets. The Soviets lost the most people in the war and brutally wore down the Nazi army. The U.S. supplied the Brits pre-1941 with equipment under Lend-Lease–when we could have hoarded it ourselves. (Granted, it was old, but still.) The Resistance movements in the various countries weakened the Nazis. The U.S. forces proved invaluable in the Italian and French campaigns, and were the major player in the Pacific front. (Along with the British, French, Chinese, and other assorted resistance movements.)
So we all made a great impact. And we’re fighting over that because . . .
…but I forgot what I was going to say about it. I think it was something that would make me feel more intelligent than the flamers. I lost it tho. So I’ll just wave around this massive cock.

But since I just leave a comment then never come back, I will never know if they have or not. Seriously, who posts a comment then keeps going back to the article to see if anyone’s replied?
And if you tried the Guardian, I can only assume you’ve been pointed towards the Daily Mail. The Guardian and the Independent are rampantly left-wing, sort of like the Daily Show. The Daily Mail, meanwhile, is more like Fox News (they’re both owned by Rupert Murdoch if you care). I’ve never been to its website but I’m sure you’ll find some good ‘uns. Oh, and the Marmite comment was genius. Give that commenter a medal.
July 21st, 2009 at 10:52 am
Break.com is perhaps the mecca of ultra-conservative misogyny on the internet. It doesn’t even have the tongue-in-cheek humor of 4chan or eBaumsworld.

I was surprised that you listed the Guardian in this article, but then I realized you had read a tech article. I’ll agree that some of the people that post there probably left school with little to no qualifications (that is if they’ve actually got to leaving school yet). Their Comment Is Free section is quite good though, where you see intelligent middle-aged men with hardcore right/left political ideologies either criticizing the author of the article or bashing each other for being so foolishly-minded.

@Jack
The Russians were begging for American intervention during WWII. Stalin figured that the Americans were waiting way too long to open up the second European invasion. It’s part of the reason he was so angry with the States after the war was over.
Yes, the Russians made it to Berlin first, but the Americans weren’t far behind. Considering how the Americans were the largest single portion of the D-Day operations that allowed Russia to stop getting it’s face smashed, you’re doing them a huge discredit.

@Robert
Uh… I’m fairly sure it was the Russians who took Berlin in the end, and the reason Churchill said that at the time was that the Russian forces had not yet rallied and started beating back the Germans in December ‘41. The British owe more to the Russians than the Americans for the outcome of WW2.
And yes, i realise i’m writing a comment not related to the article on an article that’s saying how stupid people who do that are, but whatever - i’m nowhere near the level of the people on Yahoo answers…

Good article. I guess I’ll try to make the “meh” comments more detailed. Pretty fair assessment here. For Slashdot, what they lack in stupid is made up by annoying geekiness. And yeah, Yahoo Answers is just about the dumbest website on the Internet. If a person’s not one of the minute few that give valid answers/questions, they’re either a troll or genuinely stupid.

July 21st, 2009 at 9:52 am
Haha, I appreciate your sensitivity to America’s involvement in WWII, but the fact that we came and bailed you guys out of a war you were destined to lose without our help, is not only not-debatable, but sheer insanity to suggest. Winston Churchill himself was quoted saying that after he heard about Pearl Harbor it was the first good night sleep he got the entire war, because he now knew the yanks were going to join the fray. Hats off to the allies in WWI, but that British Empire stuff isn’t going to fly as far as an argument towards whether the British would have survived WWII without us.

Not that the people on Yahoo!Answers aren’t still dumbshits, but the question marks at the end of the questions thing isn’t their fault. It asks you to type your question, and when you publish it it adds a question mark, which results in a lot of, “I like to eat chicken?”, “I found a dead bird!?” and “OMG my friend betrayed me.?”
July 21st, 2009 at 9:43 am

Vulcan, are you genuinely deluded enough to believe that the U.S.A. itself is in any way shape or form ‘popular’ with the rest of the world? As for WW1 - the U.S.A. maintained a policy of isolation right up until 1917, (and was in fact still trading with Germany before that) and the only reason you got involved a year before the end was because the Germans invited Mexico to attack you so as for ‘defeating tyranny and protecting freedom’, I’m calling B.S.

Sophia, you don’t get to pull the British Empire card on anyone from the U.S. Sorry. Not only did we win that one, but thanks to Gandhi, everyone views British imperialism as one of the worst things to happen to pretty much every non-white (or, Irish) person ever. Whereas, us kicking ass in WWI and WWII was all about defeating tyranny and protecting freedom (the opposite of oppressing millions around the world).

July 21st, 2009 at 9:22 am
vice magazine’s website has probably the most frustrating comments of any website.
the articles themselves are usually just a piece of news filtered through three or more layers of irony. but the commenters usually just judge everything/everyone by how good looking/fashionable they are because that’s the way they think they’re supposed to think.
for example.. they posted an article about racist young girls, ironically interviewing them on things like ‘what’s better coke or pepsi’ and ironically calling them babes. literally every comment was someone recalling in horror at their ugliness (they were average looking).
July 21st, 2009 at 9:20 am
“Are there any particularly stupid places on the Internet that I overlooked? ”

Why are we fighting about which of the Allied Nations was “the best”? The Brits mangaged to hold off the Nazis until the Nazis decided they actually love two-front wars and violated the non-aggression pact with the Soviets. The Soviets lost the most people in the war and brutally wore down the Nazi army. The U.S. supplied the Brits pre-1941 with equipment under Lend-Lease–when we could have hoarded it ourselves. (Granted, it was old, but still.) The Resistance movements in the various countries weakened the Nazis. The U.S. forces proved invaluable in the Italian and French campaigns, and were the major player in the Pacific front. (Along with the British, French, Chinese, and other assorted resistance movements.)
So we all made a great impact. And we’re fighting over that because . . .

I second Gilead26. YouTube is where intelligence goes to die. Nothing says “rationality” like a 20-page poorly-worded rant on creationism vs. evolution tacked onto a video of a dog on a skateboard.
In regards to the article above (to which this comment is attached), Marmite is a spread in the UK similar to Vegemite in Australia. They’re currently running a campaign saying “either you’ll love it or you’ll hate it”, hence the 50-50 chance reference in the Guardian comments section.
Also, better than the robot Bruce, I feel, was the “baby prehistoric dinosaur/robot”. I am unclear whether they found a dinosaur, a robot, or a robotic dinosaur. Or a prehistoric robot (did I miss that episode of the Flintstones?)
July 21st, 2009 at 8:55 am
Youtube, without a doubt, has the stupidest comments I’ve ever seen online. Granted, its a video hosting site, but 9 out of 10 videos have huge discussions between conspiracy theorists reporting from their mom’s basement on how 9/11 was masterminded by lizard people, and members of the cult of Ann Coulter. Everything else is “u r a homo”.

Bitch why don’t you go read some fucking history. Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939. On June 4th, 1940, Britain got its ass kicked at Dunkirk and had to abandon its equipment to the German army.
Twat, if we hadn’t been supporting the British military and intelligence service, Germany would have wiped its ass with you. Their navy was already regularly kicking the British Navy’s ass.
Even the Battle of Britain, England’s finest hour, so to speak was significant in that it stopped the German advance. But it didn’t gain you anything, it just prevented them from invading your country.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but answers.yahoo.com requires you to put a question mark at the end of the title for your question (actually, it automatically puts it in there for you). But other than that this article was pretty accurate. Comments on most websites (including this one) tend to be ridiculously entertaining.

Dunno if anyone’s mentioned this yet but marmite is this stuff you can spread on bread and the slogan is “You either love it or you hate it”. So either the man eating robot loves marmite covered humans or he doesnt. Yeah…my 2 cents for the day.
And as a Brit im pretty sure slathering isnt a word :S

oh i found a gem on imdb yesterday haha…..all because i was looking for the name of a voice actor ..from the disney tv school the emperors new groove when i found this gem of a review “I just happened to catch an episode tonight. I’m not sure the name of it, but I’m extremely disappointed at Disney, ABC and the writers for not thinking it through more - In the episode, Kronk loses his ‘good angel’ and as a result, goes after Kuzco with a ‘disintegrating ray’ - chasing him through the school with it.
I’m sorry - but after Virginia Tech and all the other horrible school shooting incidents over the years I find this episode disgusting and disturbing. It was unnecessary and completely inappropriate for the Disney channel or any channel, for that matter.
Bad move, guys. Bad move.”
yes im pretty sure a disintegrating ray was used in Vtech….how very relevant.

There’s a blog called Speak Your Branes that finds the most idiotic commenters on UK news sites and mocks the shit out of them. It’s well worth a read (some of the humour/issues might not be familiar to US readers though).
Also, for my money, YouTube has the most moronic commenters. There’s comedy genius in their stupidity.

July 21st, 2009 at 6:56 am
Look on BBC news’ Have Your Say section. It might not match the complete level of batshit-insanity of Yahoo - its posters generally manage to type in more-or-less coherent sentence and actually express viewpoints - but it makes it up for in the fact that often the supidest comment is the most recommended. Google ’speak your branes’, it’s a pretty good archive of HYS’ worst moments.

I will echo all those who’ve said “YouTube,” but for my money, the dumbest comments on the Internet are on IMDB. Just, just a huge hive of stupidity. Unfortunately there is no obvious way to include them in this study.
And yes, the comment section of Cracked should be included in the study for fairness, even if for no other reason. The forums, as David Wong has noted in a previous post, are a different matter altogether.

Yep. I agree, farr too long and didn’t do a fucking thing to hold my attention. All I saw were words, then linked words, and highlighted words and finally, quoted words.
After a paragraph I scrolled down to see how much shit I’d have to wade through and that was enough to put me off.
Your article is a Monday morning and all I wanted to do after venturing into it was zoom forward to that sweet sweet Friday afternoon.
BAD topic. BAD presentation and little or no humour.
I give you a FAIL out of 10.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:34 am
I pretty much agree with EchoCharlie but wish to add very certainly that this is the crappiest, most boring excuse for an article Cracked has put up for a while.
Sometimes “Meh” is all you can say when for example Cracked continues to post fatawesome comics eventhough they are not funny, I’m certainly not going to write an essay about what is wrong with the latest three panels of irrelevance since the title gave the already unfunny joke away.
Along with missing the fact you don’t need to read the comments anywhere - least of all the sites you have chosen where who would bother - you have also missed the point that people go on the net to be entertained. The only useful function of a comments section is to make it apparent if the majority has been and improve content accordingly.
Cracked obviously needs to learn this lesson pronto.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:32 am
Fuck that was hard to get through. Next time try using some satire or something instead of a bland sampling/judging of comment sections. At least use YouTube comments or something entertaining. “Well I had to look up a half dozen different words…so I’d be hard pressed to say these guys were stupider than me.”–Or they just have different diction and slang speciffic to the reigon.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:32 am
I’m repeating, but to be honest it’s so very horrible I can’t believe you didn’t include it here:
YouTube
Racism (usually related to America, whether for or against), ability to kill pepole featured in the clip, desire to fuck females featured in the clip, PC Vs Mac debates (stupid enough even in a video based on computers, but just absurd when the video’s completely unrelated and just shows a screenshot off a computer), spammers, pages of corrections of ultimately nsignificant grammar or spelling areas, comments which are just incomprehensible, flaming for not knowing obscure facts. And the best bit is you could find all this on a video of a kitten.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:29 am

Yea, England is the largest (Something like 80% of the population of Britain are English) constituent of Britain, but British does not mean English.

I must say, I understand all the examples were about that one particular story but youtube has the dumbest commenters in universe in my opinion. It doesnt matter what the video is about, the comment section always turns into some argument about the existance of God, American Foreign policy, or evolution vs creation. The vast amount of the people commenting though have no clue what they are even talking about and its annoying because most of them think they are on par with einstein. Its either that or some gibberish that isnt even readable.

Marmite is a far fouler (and older British) version of the popular
Australian spreadable ‘Vegemite’. Vegemite is made pretty much the same way as Marmite is described below. The difference is that for some reason Vegemite is palatable and arguably tasty but Marmite is the scrapings of Lucifer’s digestive tract.
Saltier than salt is true though. The best medicine in the world for curing mouth ulcers (vegemite that is - wouldn’t recommend the marmite).

Bailed us out? BAILED US OUT?!
As a Canadian, I expect you to know better.
America turned up when the war was pretty much done, shot more allies than enemies then nuked Japan! They only bothered getting off their arses because of Pearl Harbour.
Oh and Marmite is a yeast extract spread (similar to Vegimite in Aus.) you put on toast and it tends to polarise people. The advertising slogan is “You either love it or hate it”. Does that help? I actually thought it was a moderately amusing joke.
Also, the Guardian is a bit high brow for classic internet idiocy. See if the Daily Mail has a forum. You’re guaranteed stupid if it has!
July 21st, 2009 at 6:02 am
Um, you said “starting a dialog between the author and the poster”. This is not so. These are less than witty reparte from GAMERS who have not yet reached puberty. {or for anything else, apparently} {uh, besides their pubes}
Potter-heads are a listless lot, and prone to self-abuse, so technically, are not “having dialog” with you, but each other.
So, how ya doin? Some funny stuff, and then again, some mundane re-hash, but all in all, worth a laugh. Thanks!
July 21st, 2009 at 5:59 am
If there’s a video of this, put it on youtube. That site’s comments section will remove what little faith you might have left in humanity’s overall state of mental aptitude.
You’ll have to get to page 4 just to avoid the “first” “second” “third” “third edit:ninja’d!” comments. Then come the penis jokes and “URE FAG” pokes. In the rare event that someone posts anything relatively intelligent, it’ll get voted down so that you can’t read it.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:57 am
Nathan, just because you can get it in Scotland, for example, doesn’t mean it’s not an English newspaper. It is produced in England, therefore it is English. The mistake is yours I am afraid.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:54 am
In the interests of fairness, you should probably run some of that analysis on the comments pages for Cracked. Going by general experience most readers are pretty switched on, but see for example (from your last article):
“Hey will…it is the queen of spades that is worth 13, you noobzor!!!!!

Not only does it contain fantastical amounts of stupid, it has a page-view counter and a comments counter that could be used to measure how the stupidity spirals out of control as the comments pile up, with remarkable precision.

July 21st, 2009 at 5:21 am
Yay the guardian! Woop woop.
Oh by the way, Marmite is made from the yeast extracted from the beer making process (anything left in the wake of beer should be immediately destroyed). It is possibly the saltiest confectionary item ever created, far saltier than salt itself. The consumption of Marmite is comparable to being shot in the gut repeatedly, like if that footage of Lee Harvey Oswald was looped. And Lee Harvey Oswald was you. However there are some crazy bitches and hoes that enjoy that shit. The British version’s only marketing ploy is their slogan ‘love it or hate it’. I think that they have an epigone in Belgium but haven’t been to any other countries that sell it.
