The Most Hated Comment on Digg

We all remember that sad day when Steve Irwin “the crocodile hunter” died after being struck in the chest by a sting-ray, and naturally an article was posted about it on Digg. But when I came across this Digg article recently, two things stood out to me:

1. The sheer number of comments (788 at the time of writing this) which completely froze up my web browser for about 5 minutes whilst the page loaded.
2. The most buried comment I have come across on Digg – with minus 1060 diggs (again at the time of writing this)!

Yes congratulations to yevkasem, whose sick comment “nice, it’s about time.” on 9/03/06 has got to be the most hated comment on Digg.
