One of the things that you might not know about me, but would
square with everything that you DO, is that I like participating in
flame wars. That's not to say participating in a war where the
Americans try and burn down Canada, and instead have the White House and the Capitol Building and the treasury torched by the British. I mean getting
involved when someone says something on the internet and then someone
violently disagrees with it. The traditional forum for this discourse
is Youtube comments, and my somewhat unique style is engaging
people in cogent debate whilst being backed up by facts. There are a few
scientific laws which the internet adheres to, and on of them is
Godwin's Law:
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a
comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."
For those of you who are not familiar with this sort of thing, it
might take this sort of form: “even tho he isnt doing it th best he
cud, Obama is tryng to save the counrty.” “Thats bs obama is
hitler.” These are the heights of Elysium of which we can expect discussion to rise. So, I was watching a video of Paul Merton presenting Room
101, a show about celebrities' pet hates that they get to “banish”
to the eponymous chamber of hell. Alexei Sayle was the guest for this
episode, and one of the things he chose to get rid of was the Cirque
Du Soleil, a sort of weird post modern Canadian circus where not a
single custard pie is thrown. Please bear in mind that I didn't check
back daily to see if someone had replied to my comments, Youtube e-mails me when
that happens. With that in mind, I include a transcript of the conversation below:

Alexander Graham Bell had U.S citizenship as well as Canadian
(Scottish too, he was born in Scotland. Most people think of the
phone as a Scottish invention, and that even that was stolen off of
Elisha Gray, an American) and Canada didn't invent insulin, it's what
the body produces and the
Wonderbra was trademarked in the States.
Come on you Canuck, you can do better than that?

You are an illiterate and incorrect in your findings.
Please correct my spelling you pompous jack of nothing because im
sure your a troll with no actuall knowledge...
That you can find the time to be so ummm...lets say, "notoriously
pathetic pilgrim"- defetes the purpose of any comment you have
being held apon this vid...
Go find something informative to spew nonsense at while the rest
of us have a laugh.
Or better yet something simple for you, shut up

Deary me. There's you calling me an illiterate, despite being
unable
to spell defeats, actual, and upon. These
are rather basic words that are taught to people who are quite
young... Is English your second language? Your punctuation and
grammar's a wee bit off too. That I can find the time to write fifty
or so words is rather shocking, I must admit, but surely it's even
more distressing that you take time out of your busy schedule to do
the same? So in conclusion, less hypocrisy please.

After this little exchange, technicolournaruto deleted his
comments, and most likely felt very bad about himself. Being petty's fun..
