Generation XY Best Comment Award - August 2006.

Where do we start? This month has been so friggin’ good we had a lot of arguments over how to rank them. We decided in the end to collate some of the brilliant comments! There was one blogger who gave so many fantastic comments that we even had to collate them as well!

OK, so here’s the Top Ten for August 2006…

(drum roll please)

1. STOP PRESS #29: Dr Cullen's How the Grinch Stole the Election

Rebel Radius said...
Dr Cullen is New Zealand’s Grinch

How many pennies can he pinch?

He’s Helens' hand from the side

How many dollars can he hide?

The Grinch is sneaky and very slick

How many hundreds did he nick?

The Grinch used our money to buy our votes

How much money….coins and notes?

The Grinch is shy of all media hype

How many credit cards can he swipe?

Just how many zero’s I beseech

How many thousands he did leech !

Rebel Radius, you’re a bloody legend! So much so we had to exclude some of your other excellent comments from the Top Ten as… well… that wouldn’t be fair on the others would it?

Here are some of Rebel’s other brilliant comments…
