It seems like the vast majority of YouTube comments make me dizzy with their level of stupidity. It is a shame that once something like this becomes popular, it is overrun by idiocy.

Do you have any favorites?

YouTube - LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

Just about any other YouTube video too... The Miss South Carolina one is another example.

Seems like I didn't miss out on anything.

Yeah, I love it when people can't express themselves adequately so they write something meaningless and pointless like that

I hate reading YouTube comments. But for some reason...I still do it.

I wish there was a karma system on youtube, but instead of being a prick or being nice, it was 'being a dumbass vs sounding intelligent'. Then you could filter it to never show dumbass responses.

If I've got a quick five minutes to kill, I like marking everyone's comments down with that new thumbsup/down thingy they have now.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

I was going to ask you about what you'd do if the comment wasn't dumb, but then I realized that would be like looking for a golden ticket in a Willy Wonka chocolate bar
