• Best Comment Of The Day also in response to Dr. Laura Has Black Friends:

I love how people talk about their “friends” as if they are pogs or whatever the cool kids are collecting these days.

“Oh, I already have a black friend. I actually have duplicate gay friends – I’ll trade you one for your extra Latino friend? I’m trying for the Lesbian Shitass friend – they come in the special, limited edition gold foil package.”

Reminder: Rather than emailing us your daily comment nominations, we’d like you to submit them in the tips box at the top of the page. So send us your nominations via that box — complete with the outstanding comment’s URL — and tag your nomination #cotd. (Replying to a comment with “#cotd” does not work.) From here on out, we’ll mine through the brilliance via the Comment of the Day tag page.

EXCITING NEW FEATURE: We’ve set up a #trollpatrol page where you can report comments that you feel the editors/mods should be aware of. Try not to respond to/approve/promote trollish comments in the threads — instead, just post the comment on the #trollpatrol page, the same way you’d post a comment on #groupthink or on the #cotd page, and the editors/mods will take care of it.
