My latest pet peeve

People commenting on comic strips... e.g. linky

Do you really need to comment.... on a comic strip?!?

[Duper]

point well taken there Snoop.

I have a quote hanging at my desk here at work:

\"Not every question is deserving of an answer,
Not every notion is worthy of dialogue.\"

and i think this is an excellent example. However, with the neurosis that known as texting, and twittering .. it's not too surprising that folks are shooting off at the mouth about everything whether or not it's even noteworthy.

I haven't seen the Terminator for a long while. What's the joke in this strip?

When Arnold shows up through the time vortex thingy - he's nude and in that same position. Knuckles on the ground.

Some of those comments are actually pretty funny.

Funnier than the comic, I might add.

Ohhhhhhhh, I get it now! I forgot about that scene!

Great point.

I feel the same way about sites like Failblog -- the comment threads take "inane" to the extreme, and there's hardly anything to say (except maybe "photoshopped" or "reposted".) What, exactly, is the point of having a comment thread in a situation like that?
