I love that comic.

Well. Interesting. A moment ago in this thread, I just deleted our first comment that might have not been spam but which I found so misogynistic and racially offensive that I unilaterally decided that the poster could go fuck himself.
Come on back if you want some more of that from me, buddy.

Now you got me all curious, but I’m probably better off not knowing. It might, you know, make me more pessimistic.

Can’t have that… Your life is already so hard…
It was probably weird spam of some sort, but it pissed me off — was an amalgam of anti-McCain sentiment and crudely sexist, racist commentary on the rumor of him possibly picking C. Rice as his VP choice.
