OK…this is kinda incredible.

An hour after this posted, Swedish DORK TOWER reader Martijn van der Ven sent me a way you can actually DO this, with an example! (I’m guessing he used the the Firefox add-on Stylish).

Hi John!

I just saw your latest Dork Tower update and I loved it.

So I decided to see how it works out in practice.

You will see the comments to a random Munchkin video clip, then, “I’m a fraking moron” appended to them.

You will also see how I did it.

From now on, all the YouTube comments I will ever see will have this sentence appended to them automatically! It really makes YouTube understandable. Thanks for the tip!

Kind Regards,

Martijn van der Ven

BUT THERE’S MORE! London reader Richard George has a Greasemonkey script for this. It can be found here.

var comments;

comments=document.evaluate(“//div[@class=’comment-text’]”,document,null,XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
if(comments) {
for (var i = 0; i < comments.snapshotLength; i++) {
thisComment= comments.snapshotItem(i);
comments.snapshotItem(i).innerHTML=thisComment.innerHTML+'

But then, I\’m a frakking moron.’; //break;

HOLY CATS, I love my readers. Seriously. You guys ROCK!
