Fancy a Laugh?

Oi! Dr Millionaire! Dibbles here, can I nominate Daily Mail readers for the prestigious "What a load of cunts!" award? Namely the morons who list comments on their fabled website?

I enjoyed this typical Daily Mail article.

You know the sort of thing, white elderly man bemoans falling standards. Good honest fare. However, what made the article for me were the 51 (and counting) comments also bemoaning falling standards in grammar and spelling in public life.

An example...

Anyone can make a mistook............., though not as many as the judges in their sentencing of the criminals.

The best one, of course, goes to my old friend of Charles Edward Taylor of Corby (and one presumes via Liberia).

I am astounded by the lack of simple skills in people who have jn many cases received higher education and in some, univarsity,the use of language is the only way of communicaring and should be presented correctly, Well done the Judge!.

You could argue that 51 Mail readers have taken it on themselves to be highly amusing by littering every comment with spelling and grammatical errors. That, or Mail readers are stupid fucking cunts. I know which one sounds more plausible.

So do they win?

I have two issues with this:

1) It is possible that they are being ironic. This is unlikely on a grand scale. If it is in fact the case however, then they deserve a massive amount of kudos and hat-tipping.

2) If they are not being ironic then clearly they are being moronic. That being said, they remain amateur morons.

While amateur morons do deserve to be castigated and humiliated I am not totally convinced that they deserve a "what a bunch of cunts" (WABOC) award. It takes some really special cuntitude to be awarded a WABOC as an amateur.

I had a thought that it was all irony, but it is on too large a scale.

OK, so we are stuck with the

"Gosh darn Daily Mail readers are a bunch of fucking retards, what the fuck is wrong with this fucking country?" award

That deserves a place on the BBC 'News' ticker along with "kiddies get bullied" though, don't you think?
