Commenter Of The Day: Page Six Edition

They say you haven't really arrived in New York until you've made it into a certain tabloid. Which sells for less than a buck. And was founded by Alexander Hamilton. And is at least glanced at by just about everyone in town. And likes big headlines. Big loud headlines. This publication is fun, more fun much of the time that the Big Apple's more reputable "paper of record." The Jalopnik commentariat knows this. Which brings us to our COTD.

After Wert basically wrapped up our New York Auto Show caminogasm with his post earlier today on The New York Times's assessment of Pontiac's intro of its Down Under Ute to the U.S. market, the commentators started weighing in swiftly and decisively. This comment, from
Ω βгåғғ™ , takes the honors because it just hit the right note, with concision and wit:

I bet the NY Post loves this car...

@Ω βгåғғ™: Yes, the elusive COTD hat trick. Has anyone pulled that off?

@Ω βгåғғ™:
@Mad_Science: Oh, please! This is auto journalistic art. Don't encourage people to actively shoot for COTD... that would be like lobbying for a Knighthood or a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or an Oscar™ or... oh, wait a minute... nevermind...

@charles_barrett: I know I don't try (anymore)

(OK well it'd be nice but I think my more clever stuff gets overlooked... or it happens when I'm busy at work and come VERY late in the comments.)

I quit shootin' for COTD too; most great COTDs (like this one) are from guys who weren't trying too much to impress the commentariat...

The commentariat's opinion is of no import to me - unless they are in agreement with me, in which case the commentariat is comprised of intelligent, conscientious people.

Otherwise they can go munch.
