Metafilter comments vs. YouTube comments. A side-by-side comparison.
This post was deleted for the following reason: This is more of a metatalk type thing. -- cortex
Yeah, but MetaTalk is qualitatively different from the blue.

I've been linked to it three times. The first two times, youtube comments didn't show up. Now the third time the page won't even load.

This is the third time I've seen this (-talk, -chat and now -filter) and it still doesn't work for me. I see the two headers at the top and a big blank white screen under them. I should probably turn off adblock or something but I don't really care that much.

Heh. Made even better by the actual typos I didn't realize I made. I'm not telling which ones those are though.

Our header is more space-agey, and swooooshey, like the revamped Burger King logo.
Theirs is all squatty-old-fashionedy, like Wendy's.
Plus our threads are flame-broiled.
They do have the Frosty, however.
Tie?
Our restrooms smell like a fresh Vermont sunrise..
We win!

Is it supposed to do something? All I see is the header.
I hate to jump in prematurely, but, to this Metafilterer at least, I would conclude that this might possibly be a fail.
But I wouldn't want to be too hasty. Plates of beans and all.

Is there any reason why this belongs here? Metatalk is specifically created for talking about Metafilter, even if you think this is good enough to post on the blue.

What this showed me is that Metafilter comments, are, on average, jokier and stupider than I thought they were. A little depressing, actually.
