Every once in a while, it's fun to make a retarded comment online, and see who responds and what they say. In nice, respectable places you don't do this - it's considered rude. In the evolutionary sludge that makes up Youtube commenters, however, it's too good to resist.

Youtube Commenters

So I watched this video by Rise Against. In it, they show clips of various animals being tortured or neglected. It's pretty much like a PETA shock film. Standard stuff.

So I left a comment on the video:

Did you see all the animals they tortured to make this video? Bands like this who kill animals for shock value make me sick.

And the flame war began.

No less than 20 people responded to tell me how stupid I am.

Really?

Here are some choice excerpts:

man your dumb.. they didint kill the animals.. they took footage from other people that filmed the animals being killed and put it in the video. dumbass

they did'nt tortured animals to make this video. They took shots of the cruelty in this world and they put it into their clip.

what the hell man their showimg what really happens in the world and they are trying to tell people to stop harming the enviornment and animals

oh shut the hell up! they didn't do it for the video it was recorded by other people 4 different purposes. all they did was put it all together to the video. how thick can u get?

omg are you stupid dude.... when they do make vids like this they use pieces from other documentaries from other companies on how they do it...how dumb can you get?

Hey not to burst your f**king bubble, but most of the videos they got from PETA, how dare you diss a band, when they are actually trying to get animal awareness out there. The dolphin footage, is from PETA, once again, find out something before you completly make an ass out of yourself by not knowing the facts

Okaaaay...so how many times does it need to be explained to this one guy/girl who made a stupid comment that the band didn't really butcher the animals? Maybe I'm just quicker than most but I got the point after the first "vegetable"arian spoke up.

Notice the lack of proper spelling and punctuation. Notice that every comment, with the exception of the last two, lacks a single capitalized letter. It's as if they same moron made all the comments. Unfortunately each comment is from a different user.

I lack faith in the future of the human race.

I left another response to all the people who commented back to me:

I read up on the video, and I heard from my friend that RA actually tortured and neglected these animals to make this video. It's about stopping animal cruelty, but they're the cruelest of all! How hypocritical can you be - seriously?!?!11?!

Expect the interwebs to explode at any minute.
