I almost wish I could frame this comment

I usually don't bother addressing comments made on old posts, never mind posts from almost two years ago, since they're usually critical and insulting at a time when no one else would be reading them and be ready to call on their bullshit. But this is just too precious to pass up. If you didn't click on the link, the post in question was referring to a case in Saudi Arabia where a woman who was gang-raped was sentenced to be lashed repeatedly.

Two years after I made that post, I got this comment from Anonymous:

ok lesson i dont know whats your problem with saudi arabia but lesson have you ever wonderd why saudi womens wear that black and we call it (abbaya) we wear it to protect our selves cause our women is like i dimond not a segret we are protected we are not a segret any one can smoke and when he finesh he throw her and thats ok for you selling womens having money for sex we have a degnty and if i give you two kind of choclaits one of them is clean and covered and the other is open and dirty tell me wich one you will gonna choose iam pretty shore you will choose the clean and covered one and stop talking about freedom cause this is our freedom we choose it and thats what we want cause we feel save and btw iam from saudi arabia and iam proud to be saudi

I like that he goes on a bizarre rant that is only tangentially related to the topic in question. I love how he inexplicably compares women to cigarettes and chocolates. I love that he talks about how much he's proud to be a Saudi, but after spending all that time writing this comment, never actually talks about the woman who was sentenced to be punished for being raped.

Most of all, I love that he never uses a full stop, not even once. Please, read that again and bask in its glorious brilliance.
