First!
There are few things worse than 'first!' - but I think that shoehorning in a 'Liebour' underneath the Spectator's coffee house blog admin apologising for technical difficulties must shine out as one of the most pitiful examples of website commenting ever:
Worthy of the sort of applause you might give for a single down to third man.
Relatedly, I'm also on the lookout for the most inane web comment of the year, given that it's Christmas and so on. Don't be naughty and say one of mine, now. I'm looking for something so thunderously stupid, so spectacularly anti-logic, that it's brain-explodingly bad. I did a quick straw poll on Twitter and found some marvellously awful examples, like this:
(Thanks to Bellamack for that beautiful example)
So that's the competition. Find me the most truly witless thing that's been written as an internet comment all year. The winner gets, er, well I'll think of a prize, but it'll be great*. Stick it in the comments or email me a screengrab.
* It may not be great really

Practically anything out of Sarah Palin's mouth would qualify; hard to limit examples to just one! But I realise you're referring to UK buffoonery…so will bid adieu now.

Shhh, don't let Jock McBroon know about this competition, or he'll put a tax on it.
