The ‘Comment Oscars’ – The coCoNuts
As the leading repository of all the great, good, bizarre, disgusting, wild, extreme, funny and downright strange comments that you all make we thought that the following suggestion we recently received made a log of sense …
“You guys have got loads of comments and conversations going on … but which are the great ones … the ones I really want to know about but don’t now ? I use coComment as a functionality tool but I also really want to use it to find interesting content. How about I and a bunch of others let you know if something is really good and you then highlight it ?” – AnnaNonymous
Well, we thought this was a great idea BUT we thought it was kind of hard to decide what categories to suggest. After all, a simple … “Best of this month’s Comments” is kind of hard to pick and probably not particularly interesting.
The other thing that occurred to us is that we’re not necessarily the best people to be picking the winners anyway. So, we’re looking for nominations for ‘celebrity’ bloggers and commenters to judge and for what the categories should be.
We came up with the following, probably rather lame, suggestion list:
The Britney coCoNut – For the strangest and most bizarre comment/blog of the month
The Bush coCoNut – For the stupidest and most insane comment on a serious political issue (or blog – yes, whoever you are, we saw your comment on Hilary’s site)
The Blair coCoNut – For the most egregious attempted manipulation of the media for your own ends
The Osborne coCoNut – For the maddest comment
The Douglas Adams coCoNut – For the most gratuitous use of the word ‘Fuck’ in a serious conversation or blog (sorry, couldn’t help it ….)
So, are these lame or what ? Let us know your suggestions for the categories and the judges (you can nominate yourself) and we’ll get this running at once.
Cheers,
coCo Team
