Commentary Presented With Commentary

At UTB, we value interaction with our readers above all else. Getting feedback from the comments can be an emotional rollercoaster, so join us as we look back at the some of the week's most noteworthy commentary. Some day, we might even give out prizes to our favorites, so stop using fake email addresses ASAP (looking at you, fuckyou@fuckyourself.com).

This week's Eternal Question Award goes to "Curious," who, while perusing our Halloween Hall of Fame, presented us with this torturous query: "Wait why is one Le Anh real and one not, does anyone know?" We don't know, Curious. No one knows. Neither Le Anh knows. This question is older than the moon and the sun and the wind. Leave it at that.

The Inevitably Prophetic Comment Medal is awarded to "anonymous." When a student in a meat dress got the attention of Perez Hilton (every part of that is repulsive), anonymous made a very apt point: "I bet Ernest Owens is gonna be super jealous now. Next goal, make it on Perez!" Although we're responsible for a huge amount of Owens-baiting ourselves, we feel obligated to warn you: if you make a joke about this kid doing something, anything at all, HE WILL TRY HIS DAMNDEST TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Whattaguy, this one.

Finally, the Trophy For Putting UTB Back In Its Place goes to Street ed Josh Goldman for sparking a miniature class war on a post about the Radian, Vegas, and laundry.

"I’m sure a lot of “real adults” don’t have “built-in laundry facilities.” If anything, having these extra services is just an extension of being a well-to-do college student. I just don’t get this post. See you at the laundromat!"
Well said, sir. Going forward, we vow to be significantly more vicious when writing about the privileged snots that call the Radian home.

To the rest of our commenters: you all win the honorary title of Participant. You're the real heroes!
