About a month ago, XKCD ran this comic:
It hurts to admit, but it turns out that XKCD has Comedy Central Insider-like pull on the Internet, because sometime after the comic was published, YouTube actually integrated an optional audio preview into their comment prompt.
Of course, it’s an optional button using speech synth rather than a mandatory dramatic reading, so it'll just be used for entertainment by people who haven’t played with a speech synthesizer before.
Because our tech resources are limited, we won't be able to adjust our comment app accordingly. But for the record, when you write, "I don't know if The Daily Show can be funny when Barack Obama is president," you really have no idea how moronic you sound.
