I mean, you get some nuts in any forum, but yahoo comment posters are completely racist, homophobic, sexist and downright brain-dead.

I'm singling out Yahoo because it's an easy place to illustrate how far the world HASN'T come.

Speaking of freepers, I can only imagine what RimJob's sack of clowns at that Mosaic relic of a site are saying about this story . . .

11. Agreed.

Read the comments in the Boston Globe or any city news rags. It seems like only the haters with nothing better to do make stupid and racists comments online.

6. Eh, the name Yahoo should be a hint.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo_(Gulliver's_Travels)

Swift describes the Yahoos as vile and savage creatures, filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver, who finds the calm and rational society of intelligent horses, the Houyhnhnms, far preferable. The Yahoos are primitive creatures obsessed with "pretty stones" they find by digging in mud, thus representing the distasteful materialism and ignorant elitism Swift encountered in Britain. Hence the term "yahoo" has come to mean "a crude, brutish or obscenely coarse person".

10. You got that right.

Anything having to to with any Kennedy, Obama, Clinton etc etc etc is sluge and not fit for human consumption. For some reason I can't post replies to these cave-dwellers is because YouTube keeps saying that I have an email problem (I don't) but I can't seem to sort it out.
