Comments of the week: Fiji 2015 Special

Another week, another few hundred comments to enjoy. Please keep those keystrokes coming! Here, we’ve plucked some of your wittiest moments from the week just past, based entirely around the fabulous Fiji commentary. As a bonus this week, we’ve also included some highly enjoyable banter between two of our favourite commenters… NEGATRONComments of the week was the death of the truly great comments here. So many tears, too much time…We are just sad fucks on the internet. it shouldn’t be a contest. Michael Newman > NEGATRONAnd you were/are king, sir. Admittedly of a rag tag bunch. But then – not to get all Swayze about it – surfers do tend to get left out on the periphery. Those who really get into it, I mean. Everything else pales in comparison, which leaves a malaise in life outside of surfing. Then when the body gets older and the will to surf fades, all that’s left is just coffee, beer and the malaise. Oh, and pornography. And Stab comments. Agreed though; upvotes and Comments of the Week are a demon. But, fuck; in this narcissist’s wet dream era of Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, Stab comments are like Malia Manuel’s bikini bottoms amongst the men’s boardshort washing pile. And speaking of chicks; we sure as hell ain’t doing this to pull. I can just imagine how that would go down – him: “Here, babe, check this; this one got me like 60 upvotes…” Her: “Who the fuck is Rosy Hodge… and what the fuck is ‘her rusty sheriff’s badge’?!” [Chan, Andrew; posthumous, 2015]. And it regulates itself. The guys who get desperate for Comment of the Week – myself included – get called-out pretty quick. Guys who are just trying to aggravate get tired when bites peter out. Apart from James B; he’s discovered soft baits. And upvotes can also keep absolute cunts in check. As in; they don’t get any. Or, the one’s they are getting are from other absolute cunts.
