The Onion is an "American news satire organization. It is an entertainment newspaper and a website featuring satirical articles reporting on international, national, and local news." (Check it out. They have some pretty hilarious stuff.)
Anyway; I think it's fair to say that most normal people would watch the above video, see that it's a joke and then laugh a little. Unfortunately, your average Youtube user isn't a normal person, as seen below:
Yes... all of these comments appeared on the first page of the comments section. Lets degrade our faith in humanity even more by digging a little deeper.
I am serious. This shit is endless.



It happens all the time on The Onion's shit. Retarded people think its real. In fact, it's funny you bring it up because I've been reallyinto The Onion lately... Back to the issue of stupid people mistaking it for real news (in this case, freaky stalking/stupid fangirls), even our supposedly "brilliant" news companies have taken it for telling the truth. One news company did a report on one of The Onion's news articles, "Sean Penn Demands To Know What Asshole Took seanpenn@gmail.com".
ReplyDeleteOver 6 billion people on the planet... and we still have room for people this stupid... pathetic.
I know this site means well (in fact I'm rather interested in your daily traffic figures), but what's the point? Chronicling the varying stupidities of youtube commenters would take a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteThis goes for the stupidity of the unwashed masses in general. (Though youtube seems to be concentrated stupidity.) There are, of course, beacons of intelligence among this sea of ignorance and ineptitude. However, these are mostly drowned out by the sheer number of morons that inhabit youtube.
Honestly, the best course of action I could recommend anyone is to ignore all comments on youtube.
An efficient way to accomplish this would be to use something like adblock plus and add the comment field to your block list.
I've also found this works wonders on other comment oriented sites.
Anyway, there's my tangential tirade of a comment floating amongst a sea of other such comments.
I just found a tool that remove all comments on youtube... I'm happy now...
ReplyDeleteIf you are still doing this, and you take suggestions, may I suggest the second 'uploader's comments' comment. To quote it:

It is from a video clip from a game which allows you to build your own house. She/he was commenting on his house (I hope). The comment can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddvuVlVdygs&feature=related
