  Sour comments for example…? I comment above wasn’t sour, and maybe all you cooler guys than me were nodding sagely at my foolishness for pointing out the obvious. Geez really sorry about that. Boo yerself!

The Journal seems very reliant on Reddit for its quirky video clips posted, most are on Reddit a week before they appear here. Any chance of a surprise every now and then.

  I’ve noticed that some contributors “borrow” from Reddit more heavily than others…
