First
u go girl
There
Not seen one of those on here before, give that guy a kit-kat! But srsly, never seen it on Giz UK.
Hehe, it’s the vulgar irony of it that I just couldn’t resist. I had braced myself with pants pulled down and free sachets of lube to give to any commenter who didn’t get the joke
Let the banter games! BEGIN!
I have a suggestion: whoever wins probably doesn’t actually want a Sony Xperia Go anyway so auction it off for charity instead
No, i’ve already explained what i plan to do with it when i win. I shall use it to better acquaint myself with android and rooting, then i will most probably give it to my dad or a friend.
Don’t give it to him directly, send it via me and I will duly smash it into little piece and then I’ll post it, and the video of its demise, to him
You, sir, are going on my christmas card list! I say we do it, when i win, which i surely must
I’ll embed it into a clear resin block and then you can forward the story to Gizmodo and they’ll write an article about it and then I can become an Artist!
See, I hear lots of people saying they’re going to flog it; I am this close to buying one anyway for when I go out running and need both an MP3 player and a phone, and my GS3 is too big!
Maybe I can win it with this comment; ‘Penis’
that’s a short joke
Trust me, I’ve got a bigger one in my bedroom.
Does it use batteries or plug in?
Both! Every circumstance catered for.
So only comments placed here have a chance of winning? I ask as I’ve had some corkers in the past.
• Went to the zoo. There was only one dog in it. It was a shitzu.
Ripping off professional comedians is not acceptable.
One of the toddlers on the Intensive Care Unit is playing with a toy donkey.
ICU baby, shaking that ass.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Technically, any comment on a post done this week counts.
I’d say there’s better odds on recent posts, and better odds on posts done by actual staffers of GizUK, as they’re more likely to be looking at them.
Are you trying to say Sam’s not an actual staffer?
Don’t get him upset, it’s like sand in his vagina.
Nope, just suggesting an overall scheme for those desperate to win.
Why haven’t any of the prizes been handbags?
Now a gadget handbag…
So they have to be funny?
Really if you are going to have a comment competition you really need more posts to comment on. The gap between giz UK and US is still pretty big in post count.
The gap between the UK and US Gizmodos in miles is around 4742 miles which is also pretty big
But they only repost some of them. Why not repost ALL of them that way we don’t have to visit both sites. I would be pretty happy with everything on the US site added onto everything on the UK one.
I also end up visiting both…..and the repost method amuses me as there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to what gets reposted.
And so is the number of staff. Last count GizU-4, GizUS- 19…
Hence the large number of articles ported over from US.
Try commenting more. I suspect the whole point of this compo is to get us to do exactly that.
I thought this commenting competition included every article on this site from Monday til now? I find it a pain just keeping up with a couple of comment threads, let alone a week’s worth.
I wonder how many comments I can post in an hour…
Quite a few by the looks of it
It’s not easy, you know. Thinking of comments that don’t begin with “Please, please, please” is man’s work!
The US site posts over 100 posts a day; we post about 40 a day. Comparing traffic, and the potential size of our audience, we’re pretty happy with the number of posts we do a day. However, you’re more than welcome to continue reading the US site (use the URL us.gizmodo.com), and can catch the pure UK-news feed right here, using the URL gizmodo.co.uk/tag/uk-news.
So the Lesser spotted Edit button has been whipped off that image now!
Photoshop® I bet they used Photoshop®
Paint, actually. We save Photoshop for the good stuff.
balls.
sorry forgot the r “balls®”
Still wrapped up in the cellophane then is it?
Ba-Boom-Tish!!
Trying to think of an excellent Wet paint joke, but I can’t do it.
you have to sing this post in the style of sir mix-a-lot’s back got back

I like this post and i cannot lie
you other posters cant deny
when a post comes up on a itty bitty screen
it makes me wanna scream
you get mad, so you pull out your Sony
cux you just know it isn’t phoney
you notice it is clearer
thats because its a sony experia
deep in your pocket its sitting
and your key and coins its hitting
so you dont wanna scratch that face
so you put it in a silicone case
all the bloggers tried to warn me
that sony’s were so corny
ohh it takes an SD
which some other phones just dont have
i can use it, abuse it
Cause you ain’t your average handset
i aint tacking no chances
i wanna keep my phone all fancy
its in a case, in-case
I drop it on the floor again
I’m tired of Apple nerds
sayin’ well everything just works
Take the average geek and ask him that
it gotta pack good maps
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your Phone got real good maps? (Hell yeah!)
Tell ‘em to use it! (use it!) use it! (use it!)
use that sony phone!
Well if you don’t win you certainly tried harder than most.
Yes indeed, maybe we need to make this a lyrical contest?
They say Imitation is the Greatest form of flattery!
They also say it is the greatest chance of being done for identity theft, fraud, or copyright and patent infringement….
Guilty as charged!
As in i’ve blatantly copied you, after the week i’ve had on Gizmodo i feel the need to make that clear!
Bravo Sir, have a like
To the Tune of the Wurzels Combine Harvester – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb63PdPweDc
I added you to my friend list on facebook last night
I put my iphone on vibrate to keep quiet
Now something’s telling me that you’re avoiding poking me,
Plus 1 me now darling,
You got something i need.
(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a brand new Copy of CS5 and I’ll give you the key
Come on now, let’s get together
and Paint in harmony
I got iphone 4S and you got a galaxy S3
Now I got a brand new Copy of Windows 8 and I’ll give you the key.
She might well laugh.
I’ll comment on your stories and you’ll like what you read
We’ll join our timelines
and comment that we’ve just pee’d
And you know I’ll poke you darling
So give me your twitter name
Oh, the thing I want the most id to play your online game
(Chorus)
For seven long years I’ve been alone on my space
liking my own comments
It’s a proper disgrace
Now if I cleaned up my friend list would you change your mind?
I’ll give up watching porno
And start watching question time.
etc. etc.
What I want to know is “What happened to tangerines?” You don’t see them anymore.
So is this an entirely subjective competition based on the opinions of a statistically irrelevant number of people? Or am I just taking this a tad too seriously.
Yep. It seems to have done its job in increasing the number of comments. Alas, they’re all rather asinine.
Well I guess you could say… nope. Got nothing. Damn I suck at this.
