Fail Blog's Burn of the Week

It seems one of my favorite RSS feeds on the World Wide Web, FAIL Blog, is trying out a new feature that is basically what this blog is. Burn of the Week takes the funniest comment threads where someone gets verbally bitch slapped and highlights them for all of earth to see. Clearly the theme this week is either spelling mistakes, or the author is a lonely grammarian who really like language jokes.

Either way, readers weren't liking the new feature — it has an average rating of two-and-a-half thumbs down (the more thumbs down, the better it is, I guess, but it doesn't really matter because it's in the middle) with 365 votes. That is either a good thing because maybe they'll stop, and I'll continue to be the only rag in town, or a bad thing because it means this is really, really stupid idea.
