NEWS POST: New "Funny Comment" Feature

While most of you are content with making bad "your mom" jokes and so-2004 references to ninjas and pirates in the comments section of our blog, there are a few shiny stars out there who make reading the comments worthwhile. Therefore, we have started a new feature in the sidebar, with the Funny Comment of the Moment. (It's of the "moment" instead of "day" or "week" because, hey, we're lazy, and you all can't always be counted on to say amusing things like clockwork.)

Obviously, getting your anonymous comment on the sidebar is a dubious and meaningless honour, so get out there and be funny. Except don't try too hard. We can tell when you're reaching.

Girl #3: Well, one of us is going to fail this exam, and it's not going to be me!
