Respectful Commenter of the Week: MariahCareySongs

After the 13th Annual Webby Awards on Monday, June 8th, The Webbys posted 5 word acceptance speeches from the winners on YouTube.  It was interesting hearing how people chose to choose their words.  And some of the vids got a lot of views.

One example was Sarah Silverman's Five Word Speech, which she delivered in typical Silverman style:

Not everyone was amused, however.  MariahCareySongs commented:

This bitch needs to die.

Holy cow.  Sarah Silverman needs to die?!  Funny, because I'm thinking if we ask Mariah Carey who needs to die, it would be the people who illegally post her entire catalog of songs to YouTube.  I'm all for piracy, but if you're going to be breaking federal law, you might want to keep a lower profile.

Now, I realize its tough to swallow that Sarah Silverman will garner more views with those five words than you'll probably ever get.  And that's in spite of the fact that you're illegally using the music of a multi-platinum selling recording artist to drive traffic to your YouTube page.  But that's no reason to lash out.

For your arrogant tone and total disrespect of copyright law, we say congratulations, MariahCareySongs: You're the Respectful Commenter of the Week!
