Our Commenters of the Week Win Their Very Own Superfluous Remake!

Kyle Buchanan · 12/05/08 08:25PM

What a week! Lest we forget, Pop Culture Doomsday opened its gaping maw in Hollywood, and all we had to fend it off was the wit of our commenters. Now that we've managed to collect the survivors (currently receiving generous, Niacin-heavy recuperation at the Celebrity Centre), it's time to announce our five favorite ripostes, whose authors will each receive their own wholly unnecessary film remake. So who's set to star opposite Jaden Smith in a reboot of the Problem Child franchise, and who will be helming the Zac Efron starrer Say Anything? On to the winners:

In honor of the new James Bond film, we're gifting the writers of our five best comments this week with one of our most enigmatic prizes yet: a tablespoon of solace!

Pareene · 11/04/08 06:08PM

In the future the history books will say this election was fought across blog posts and in the comment trenches, via video links and perpetual forwards.

Our resident expert in garbage and nonense, is, of course, Comments Czar Kaila, who decides which of you get to live to comment another day. So below, for your Election Day, Kaila shares some of the very best of the best of insane rejected comments. "Fuck you you fucking liberal elitist fucks," after the jump!
