Recently XKCD.com posted a comic strip that made a very astute observation – youtube commenters are stupid.

The strip, found here, suggests that if youtube commenters were to hear what they typed before they actually submitted it, they would be shocked by their own lack intelligence.  To that end, the strip recommends youtube install an audio preview function to be activated before every comment submission.

By the grace of some higher power, this prayer was answered and youtube actually installed a similar button in its comment forms.  You can navigate to youtube, but it basically looks like this:

Youtube Audio Preview

It’s not mandatory as the comic strip suggests, but it’s close enough.  What a great case of art inspiring technology!  Even the people at youtube realize that youtube commenters are the absolute worst, and this audio preview is definitely something they would like to put in place permanently.

For now, I’m sure it’s just a joke inspired by a funny comic strip.  But you certainly wouldn’t hear me complain if they kept it there permanently.
