It has been a routine for me to check the news in Yahoo every morning when I arrive at work. At first it was something to kill time, but over a past few weeks, it has been a habit.
Since November there were a lot of news coming out and since I don't watch news, I rely on online news. There was this issue about former President Arroyo faking it's illness, as I checked the comments of Filipinos (and some Foreigners), I realize that their comments and their jokes are really true and it really is happening in our country.
I admit I laugh at some of the comments, that's because what they are commenting about are all true (there are sometimes arguments and debates). Let us just say that Yahoo Philippines news although sometimes post boring topics, when you read the comments, it makes you laugh or empathize with their feelings.
To those who are reading this, my question is, aside from the news in Yahoo, do you sometimes laugh at the comments of others because it is true or something in other news website or forums?

If you really need more fun and laughter, read the comments and opinions under the showbiz news. These posted comments used to serve as my "recreation" when I was bored, that was when I haven't known of online jobs. One simple sarcastic comment will earn a lot of replies until it becomes a debate of some sort. Every time I see some intriguing news in Yahoo, I make it a point to check the comments which I would really enjoy including the pointless remarks and opinions that usually ends up into another sizzling topic. I also post comments once in a while when the thread is so interesting that I can not help myself from posting my own opinion.

I have not tried posting comments, though I like to voice out my opinions (Logging in Yahoo mail is not accessible in work). Honestly, never liked showbiz and I don't know why... people's comments are much more entertaining than the ones in the news.
I guess it is more on my taste of news. hehehe.

I only get to read the news in Yahoo whenever I logged in and logged out in my yahoo email address. I check first what are in the news. Some of the news may involved with politics and showbizness. I am also fun of reading the comments below the news. There were really a lof of people who make comments. Sometimes the comments are so true and funny. Some are really straightforward.

I really like other people comments. It shows what they really think and feel. Their comments for me are all true, and the comments of the ones in the government and showbiz either lies or half true.

I also enjoy Yahoo news, but the one I'm on is still the international one, not the local news but nevertheless I enjoy it just the same.
The most popular on my list are those of celebrities, and the who's who in Hollywood, who dressed up the worst during awarding ceremonies, some are before and after cosmetic surgery. And some are about some tragedies, hero stories, and success stories. I barely check those about business or sports.
Oh and yes I do read the comments and enjoy them very much especially some really sarcastic remarks.

I usually read Yahoo News. Not necessarily Yahoo Philippines news but Yahoo news in general. I see to it that I will read the comments sited below the article. These comments made me really laugh. I bow to those people who are gifted with great sense of humor.
On the other hand, there are times that I am saddened by reading these comments. I discovered that there are people who really do not give a damn about other people. Rude and condescending comments are not comfortable to read.
Anyway, to sum it all, yes comments in Yahoo News are funny and entertaining.

I do!
Well, there are stupid comments but there are also insightful comments which makes you think for awhile. Whenever I read online news articles or posts, I tend to read comments. It's amazing to hear people's thoughts on things and personally, I'm quite surprised to some of the comments that I read. Healthy debates and arguments are something I look forward to reading.
Of course, there are still comments which makes you end up thinking "WTF is he/she saying?!"
