TORONTO SUN COMMENT BOARD GOLD

A few weeks ago I saw what has to be the single funniest example of bad grammar and atrocious spelling I have ever seen on the Toronto Sun comment boards. My mistake was not to copy and paste that item of comic gold. It was hilarious. Obviously its author did not intend the sentence to read the way it did and, no doubt, was oblivious to the misfire, but the unintentional humour was impeccable for its lack of proper, and vital, punctuation. (Someone should start an awards show for right-wing dopes on the Toronto Sun comment boards.)

Well, this morning I was not to make the same mistake. Read this...

"... crawl back under your biased CBC rock wanker."


A "CBC rock wanker"?  What the?...

Are those for sale? And if they are, can you actually crawl under one?

You Leftist elitist! With such an educational advantage over our conservative friends, one would expect a little less condescension. You may have had time to pay attention in those useless (grudgingly state-sponsored) "Liberal" arts classes like 'English,' and maybe even 'Major Novels.' Our less intellectually-inclined comrades were too busy studying 'Effective Schoolyard Bullying,' 'Safe Steroid Dosing,' and 'Exam Sham, or How to cheat your way through the Canadian education system.' C'mon Barry: Open your bleeding heart and give them a break!

You make a good argument, dear sir. (Or is it, "You make a good argument dear, sir"?)

Hey, my problem with "Our less intellectually-inclined comrades" is that they don't try to improve, or to even read books about "things", so they know what they are talking about instead of going through the Internet stupid. (I'll let the right-wing dopes try and figure out what comma is missing within the last few words of that last sentence. Priceless.)
