Man prepares to post 10,000th angry, illiterate and inaccurate comment in online comments section
Anticipation high as renowned regional internet voice says post will be his “most illogical”
Fadi Assids in action posting one of his renowned angry, illiterate comments
BEIRUT: There was a buzz of anticipation across the Middle East last night after a Lebanese internet enthusiast announced he was preparing to post his 10,000th poorly constructed, badly grammatised and wildly inaccurate angry kneejerk message in an online comments section.
Fadi Assids, a 26-year-old self-employed IT entrepreneur living in Beirut, is a highly regarded moronic commentator in the regional internet sphere, and his often nonsensical ramblings across the comments sections of online sites such as Al Jazeera and The Daily Star have become the stuff of legend.
At the launch of Assids Attacks, his first book of comment compilations last year, one literary critic praised his work for its “spellbindingly illogical originality”.
While Assids wouldn’t confirm which news site would be chosen to feature his 10,000th comment, he told journalists at a press conference that it would be his “absolutely most absurd” and would feature some of the “worst spelling and most erroneous facts” he had ever used.
“In fact, it’s going to have nothing to do with the original online story whatsoever,” he laughed.

this artical is a disgrace. you are supposed to be providing high level journalism and we keep seeing this drivval.
just because the labourers earn less money do you think they are not people? they are certainly not neo nazis as your artical portrays. they also go to brunch to get blotto and have fights.
shame on you all?
i am now going to al jazeera to get the truth.

Fadi Assid’s “style” of writing is much like the e-mails ESL teachers get from their various administrative offices.

Wot is rong wiv you people? If you start to criticise our spellin like when I wos at sqool you is missin the the deep meenin behind the communicashun.
Fadi has made at least 50 very good points in the 9999 posts he has made so far and I have followed his career since he was released from jail in Lebanon. You shud be supportin his work.
Have you got too much time on your hands? Do you work those crazy summertime hours in the UAE? If this is your problem, you should go to a country like England were summer hours only last 1 week and they tax your wage!!!
Just get a lfe!
