BONUS GAME: Think up a good caption for the header image and get a mention in COTY: Part 2!
Comments of the Year is a feature where we scour the Comments of the Week archive looking for comments. The ones that make you think the fullest, the ones that make you laugh the heartiest and the ones that make you cry the hardest (but also laugh the most), and consolidate them into an entertaining package for the viewing pleasure of you, the Destructoid community.
Comments will fall into three categories:
TRUTH: Merry Christmas!
LOL: The Special Brew Santa ads aren’t quite as magical as the Coca-Cola ones.
WUT? Mommy, why is Santa nude and thirsty?

From the article…
