So the AV Club, one of my favorite websites, is also the scene of some of the most intense firsties-battles. By that, I mean that I’ve never ever ever seen a post without comments, and a good chunk of the comments include some sweet “FIRST!” proclamations.
You can imagine my shock and surprise when , after reading this articule, I saw this:
So.. I didn’t disturb the peace, though I did kinda want to. Some people think the firsties thing is lame. I think its awesome, but I still can’t do it myself.
(Update: 3 minutes later there are three comments. It’s 12:30 on a Sunday night.)
colin says: first…or whatever the popular thing is these days.
this type of “comment spam” is the worst because it really has no purpose. congratlu-frickin-lations for being the first person to press “add comment.”
ps. thanks for the add
I don’t think the first thing is comment spam. I think it’s funny.
that said, its a lot more funny on posts that actually have a lot of comments It’s sad when you’re the sole commenter and you’re bragging about how you got there first.
