Recommending links to funny pics is one of the staples of the Reddit community.
If users find something particularly exciting, commenters occasionally try to one up each other with their additional witticisms.
So when the above screen grab from a FOX Business report with a chyron reading "Firefox: Most popular search engine after Microsoft and Apple" hit the site, net nerds were sent into a tizzy publishing over 500 comments as of this post. One user called a FOX News mistake involving computer lingo the "Reddit perfect storm."
Some of the comments are actually quite funny. It's Friday, let's have them do all the work. Here are our top 5:
- Fox News: Most popular news channel after TV and Blu-Ray.
- Computers: Most useful program after IBM and Dell.
- Homosexuality: Most popular form of terrorism after Islam and Judaism.
- Firefox: Most purple time-machine after rygar and shoelaces.
- Bottle: Most popular ketchup after tomato & hamburger
Ah, inane comments. [via Reddit]
