Okay, that's not entirely true. I read Hacker News purely for the comments, but that's got a higher quality of comments than pretty-much anywhere online, and even then lots of them are annoying.
I once likened reading the low-rated comments on Slashdot as like sticking your head into a bucket of squid. Reading the ones on most newspaper sites are like sticking it into a bucket of squid that died from diarrhoea a fortnight ago.

If I recall correctly, I was sad that the xkcd parody of youtube comments on the moon landing were more articulate and less ridiculous than youtube comments on an ACTUAL video of the moon landing...
