Remember the movie, “Short Circuit?”
A robot named Johnny 5 becomes alive and then Steve Guttenberg drives in a van with Ally Sheedy and a guy doing a bad Indian accent. Also, Johnny 5 faces off with some gang members and tells one of them, “You’re mother is a snowblower.” THAT IS A GREAT INSULT!
Recently, the SCP comments section had it’s own Johnny 5 moment. It’s alive!
It started when I posted the hilarious picture of Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain being arrested. Almost instantly, the comments started pouring in. A few were overtly racist and we, rightly, erased them immediately. A couple were very funny. One was very, very dumb.

What a shitty article….We dont even know what happened!
Loyal readers know how I usually deal with these sorts of comments.
First of all, pkINFL, thanks for reading. NOW GO FUC….
But wait. Before I could even finish the thought, other SCP readers did the job for me.
Just two hours later, a commenter named ep posted this:

pkINFL: This post is about the goofy pic. Click the today link. It takes you to a news site that provides all the details about the arrest.
Using the Internet is only as difficult as you make it.
And about an hour after that came this post from Doc Holliday:

pklNFL?????
You can’t think at ALL for yourself. Oh your folks must be so proud.
Well I’m all about helping the underprivleged…..try this:

Both ep and Doc Holliday did a great job taking down an idiot. I’m really proud of them both. But, I must admit, a little part of me is sad. They’re quick commenting makes my own response unnecessary.
There’s now no reason for me to ask pkINFL if leaving that comment is really the best use of the couple minutes of daily internet time the doctors allot to him in between shock therapy and arts and crafts time. And it’s completely superflous for me to wonder, in print, whether or not his brain is suffering from a lack of oxygen because he’s so clearly a mouth-breathing retarded troglodyte who’s never used the internet before.
So, I won’t do it. Instead, I’ll just say this.
Hey, pkINFL, your mother is a snowblower. Now, GO FUCK YOURSELF.
