We often talk about the high caliber of the commenters across all Gawker sites, but I'm particularly fond of the strong showing by our very own Gawker.TV commies (can I call you commies? Is that weird?). Every day I am thoroughly amused by your awesome, sometimes snide and often informative comments...so much so, in fact, that we've decided to round up your best TV/Video related snark every week!
I'll admit it. Commenters are my life force. Without you, Jalawson, I would still think House Hunters was a show for the working class. And that just can't happen. I need you, nay, we need you to fill in our pop culture blind spots. Here's what you guys were talking about this week.
Everyone had Olympic Fever with a side case of Ice Dancing Syndrome.
Deadliest Patch, Kevorkian got a little punny over Isreal's sibling team dancing to Schindler's List.
And then there were the aboriginal costumes. Ohhhhhh the aboriginal costumes! Limber pointed out that those Russians and their tribal skating are dirty, rotten, thieves.
Over in What to Watch, Mike Jahn thought of a way to make Ice Dancing easier to stomach, hint: it involves the semi-incestuous athletes possibly being dragged to their death by Shamu. Meh, I'd watch it.
And last but certainly not least, thanks to Mike and Matt, the Ina lovers came out. Isn't that just awesome? And glitteratigroovejet even thought of a way to improve the already Ina-riffic post. Good show! She'd be so proud.
And keep on commenting. I'll be combing them every day for the best of the best to feature next week! Kinda like this:
