The best and worst comments of the day:

Best Comment Of The Day, in response to About Britney’s Bloody Mess: “I like to think that it was a conscious feminist statement on Spears’ part, and that Ani DiFranco will shortly be sending her flowers. Red ones.” We say: You are one righteous babe. • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to “I’m Pregnant,” And Other “Lies” Twitterers Say Women Tell: “I won’t shrink in the dryer” – #liescottontshirtstell “I won’t do that for love” – #liesmeatloaftells “I don’t like donuts” – #lieshommertells “I won’t stain your tupperware” – #liesspaghettisaucetells “I have no pee in me” – #liesthepublicpoolstell “I don’t like Clive Owen” – #liesJezebelstell We say: Okay, okay. You win the internet. Jeez. • Worst Comment Of The Day, in response to SoCal School Elects Gay Male Prom Queen: “My private, Christian college in a small town in Nebraska elected an openly gay man as homecoming king, and this isn’t making the ten o’clock news… as it shouldn’t. Do we really need to be patted on the back for treating people equally? You say: “This isn’t the ten o’clock news, it’s a “heartwarming” human-interest local story right next to ‘Photographers and makeup artists donate their time to photograph sick children with their families.’ However, it dovetailed nicely with current political events, so it got picked up and the internet is now paying attention.”
