It’s that time again: We’re looking at the highlights — and lowlights — from the commments. The best and the worst of the day, after the jump.

• Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Mel Gibson Tape Shows He Is Also A Racist, Abusive Asshole: “I don’t understand how someone who turned the crucifixion and resurrection of his Savior into capitalist torture porn could stoop so low.”
• Best Comment Of The Day, in response to True Love At Last Airbender Premiere: “The twist at the end of M. Night Shyamalan’s career will be that he was actually Jeff Goldblum all alooong. Wooooooo schpooky!”
• Worst Comment Of The Day, in response to Mel Gibson Tape Shows He Is Also A Racist, Abusive Asshole: “No one ever said that gold diggin’ was clean, easy, or painless line of work… Mel Gibson is clearly an ass, but do I feel an ounce of sympathy for this lady? Nope, not one. You can’t tell me she didn’t walk in with a clear view of who he was; the only thing obstructing her view was the $$$ in her eyes.” Hortense says: “Did she tell you this personally when you met her, or did you just read about this in SweepingGeneralizations Weekly?”
