Hey, do I win some sort of prize because one of the comments on the CNN article was about how I'm fat? I think I should get a prize.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

not your mom's socks.
your prize is a giant cluestick for use on trolls of your choice.
ETA. Really, there should be a troll bingo board.

Jilli, those comments are toxic - don't torture yourself any more!

Link me again so I can go comment about how gorgeous and luscious you are?

Who is responsible for the chimp feeding the baby tiger on Good Things? Because I literally just squeaked out loud when I saw it. The cute, it is too much. The chimp is so happy (in his little jean shorts)!

I was reading mostly for amusement, but yeah. And the "fat" comment doesn't even really bug me, but that's the point where I went "Okay, I'm out. You people are boring".
Awww, thanks Amy! Clicky-link: [link]

I think you look great, Jilli. My mom is your fan...she asks about Buffistas a lot, but she especially wants to hear about your stuff.

Oh my god. As someone who usually doensn't read the comments anywhere but Jezebel and io9 (or used to), I'm astounded by the stupid and the bitter and the toxic in the responses to that article. People really have nothing to do anymore but sit around and shit on other people's parades, do they?

Amy,
that's exactly right. a lot of dissatisfied, angry bitter people who have nothing better to do. I'd like to think these are all 16-year-olds, but I don't think so.
