I nominate The Dagenham & Redbridge FC Unofficial Forum.
Can you top that?

Easy...
dailymail.co.uk
See especially Liz Jones today...
*looks at balls full of spunk*
hey get away, you harpies, you ain't getting none of this!'
Seriously that is the most self hating piece you're ever seen from a female writer?
"though my boyfriend at that time was wildly unsuitable...
...I thought that I could change him."
Alarm bells ringing already. I'll read on.
So in summary
She says "I used to be evil but I midly regret it, if only because it didn't work. Everyone else still is evil."
Pretty much the Mail then.
They don't seem to keen on Hugh Grant either:
AMANDA PLATELL: Hypocrisy and the tawdry self-love of Mr Grant Sleazy standards of oleaginous, womanising lounge-lizard...
They just love slamming anyone's hypocrisy. It's kinda ironic man.
Three more from The Fall later...
"Hypocrisy and the tawdry self-love of Mr Grant Sleazy standards of oleaginous, womanising lounge-lizard...Ah!"
I love the sentence
Ha absolutely nailed her on that one, didn't he? I think she's a little bit...oh, sod it, arse-clenchingly mental.
She's either a troll, or she's quite unwell.
Either way, her writing is probably best ignored.
but
the most depressing place on the internet is the message board where her exes talk about her sperm larceny

Liz Jones
What a horrible, vain woman. Didnt want to get pregnant in case she lost her figure.
Perfectly cast as a DM columnist with a platform to lecture us riff raff with her views on parenting.
I'll say it before anyone else does.
Youtube comments.
Or the 'Discussion' page on Wikipedia.
I'll second that
I don't know if it's humanity or just the part of it that can be arsed to log on and call someone a cunt. If it's the former, Global Warming isn't happening fast enough.
The Daily Telegraph comments page is where dreams go to die. Everything comes back to -
"We're fucked because of - immigrants/socialism/political correctness." Seriously, I once read an article on how to make your own sausages that ended up on the evils of Islam within about 6 comments.
It went - sausages - food hygiene regulations - EU too strict - not so strict about immigrants - letting in millions of Muslims - we're all going to die -
I once stumbled
across the Lucky Soul (a band with two albums to their name) official website. Pure tumbleweed.

Oh
The Digital Spy forums
a hive of scum and villainy
Used to visit there frequently
and the plain idiocy, ill will and bad attitude of some of the posting never ceased to amaze me. Don't go there any more.
I was thinking of putting Sickipedia down because although it features some of the funniest jokes on the internet it also has some of the most vile hate-ridden muck I have ever cast eyes upon.
The Swedish
tax authourity's VAT brochure in English
http://www.skatteverket.se/foretagorganisationer/blanketterbroschyrer/br...
All of it
I have a love / hate relationship with the internet. I spend far too much time on it and can't seem to stop myself. Therefore, it's all depressing.
Except for the funny pictures of cats - they're ok.
Baby white wombat
Even better than pictures of cats is the Guardian's short video of a rare baby white southern hairy-nosed wombat that was found in a bad way somewhere in Australia and is being nursed back to health. It's hard to imagine a cuter animal.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2011/oct/25/rare-white-wombat-aust...
As a lad, I always wanted to have a wombat.
But my mum told me I'd first have to learn properly how to play wom.
*bows, awaits offers of coat*
This has to be it...
www.truelad.com
Either that, or the Darlo Uncovered board...
Oh Jesus. That TrueLad thing.
I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
TrueLad
Truly horrendous. What's worse is that I know loads of 'lads' like that. I imagine each and every one of them is secretly afraid of the thoughts that come at night.
I genuinely wonder...
...what the inner life of a TrueLad can possibly consist of. I can empathise with a lot of people, but seriously: WOW.
I'm getting the strange urge to join in
"Got home from work the other night. Pasta bake for tea. Bathed the kids and read them stories, then watched Grand Designs with the missus (10/10) and had a Crunchie. LAD"
This is an amazing idea.
Can we just all join en masse and flood the place with mundane tales of commuting, parenthood and the weekly shop?
"Bought the sofritto passata in Waitrose instead of the regular stuff. Made ragu (8/10). Started again with The Unbearable Lightness Of Being. LAD."
And the only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust are...
You may want reconsider!
No-one seems to have noticed.
Have a scroll through truelad.com and wonder.
The spelling. The punctuation. The grammar.
It is all there. Truelad is not a dumping-zone for the disenfranchised.
Which makes the content all the more disturbing.
I looked
and didn't reckon that much to the articulacy of the denizens of that particular. Maybe they're Loaded features writers in disguise?
Good grief.
Speaking as a former Loaded reader, is this where the innocence of 'Good Work Fella' has ultimately led us?
"You maniacs!", etc...
I don't know - I like this one
I was sitting in the carpark earlier outside a co-op waiting for my other half. some dick was parked in the disabled spot and a car pulled up just behind it. this absolute grandLAD comes out and takes about 5 mins to get his zimmer frame out (poorLAD) goes round to the front of the car to see if the car infront has a disabled badge, which i imagine it didn't since the grandLAD swore and went into the co-op leaving this pricks car blocked in untill he slowly hobbled back out about 20 mins later! LAD
The Stockport County Yellowboard
Follow the daily travails of this once proud club as it plummets down the Blue Square Premiership. I know I do. It is full of anguish and righteous hatred of the Sale Sharks Rugby Club and it's money grubbing owner Brian Kennedy, who stole our ground and stomped all over our history..tragic!
Hmmmm.....
.....these rugby boys (and I do go to watch rugby) have form.
Barnet Council are falling over themselves to accommodate Saracens RFC at the Barnet athletics stadium while the football club's wishes (the club that bears the Council's name) seems to come last of all.
And I still don't know how QPR could host Wasps games when they didn't have a ground, and three years later Wasps left with:
(a) little good will to QPR for the favour and,
(b) QPR's huge training ground in Acton, leaving QPR scrambling around for a place to train!!!
How did that happen?
Posh boys
Are brought up to utterly hate and fear us and to steal our stuff rather than earn a living - started in Sparta (true fact fans) and its never stopped
Fox News
comments page, go on... click on them, if you dare
No-one's said Facebook yet?
I'm amazed.
For every far away relative keeping in touch, there's a million pointless posts about what I had for tea and how my bunion is getting on.
"Ooohhhh, look everyone, I'm in the pub!!!!!!!!"
Like I care.
Was at Singapore airport on holdiay the other week (well, passing through, I didn't actually have my holiday in the airport...) and my straw poll of what website the users of the many free internet PCs were on revealed 75% on Facebook. OMG, he says, being almost ironic.
I do agree with virtually any sports team's forum, especially unofficial.
Youtube comments are just the ramblings of deranged minds, mostly.
Facebook is shite
Ooh, glass of wine methinks!!
Friday!!
Why do ppl always let u down :-(
If my poppy offends u then let me kno so I can delete you from my friends.
How come blacks call each other the n word in rap songs but play the race card when we call them it???!!!
Spartacus
Your FB friends are shite. I'd dump them if i were you
You can choose your friends
But you can't choose the people you went to school with.
Mr & Mrs Cameron
seem to choose quite effectively for their laddie Dave
The most depressing bit of the internet?
None of you have seen the Styx thread yet then?!

Guido Fawkes' blog
Specifically, the comments which appear under each post.
Statistically, I must know people who think like that, which I find rather worrying.
Generally
the comments sections of most websites with proper fraserisation or rules are depressing but they also make you realise what a level headed person you are in comparison and that's uplifting too (yes, my glass is half full).
Also without them you wouldn't have the only reason to Dave Gorman's Absolute radio podcast where he collates such comments on a single subject into a found poem. Genuinely hilarious.
Here's a guy doing something similar with a plaster on his head (starts after about a minute):
My Online banking
Sob!
had to look at that twice
"banking" ... phew
Arseblog
Especially the comments - what a bunch of smug, self righteous whingers
Hi Johnny!
You're a Sp*rs fan. Why would you read an Arsenal blog? I couldn't even name a Sp*rs one...
