Don't burn the $700 just yet. I'm sure there are ways to find words to express how lame you are. Just need to find them in time. One week flies quickly.

Are you guys really giving out prizes for trolling each other? Hell, I do this for free!
Speaking of it, JT, if you are looking for a way to gain some more time to do research (I suggest a dictionary in case you were stuck for a source), and one assumes that time flies when you're having fun, you may want to avoid your mothers room tonight.

Hey Einstein,
I tried to leave a comment on one of your Troll Week posts yesterday, but the 'Comments" section was turned off. Brilliant! Troll This!

This is so difficult. I've spent years honing my troll bait avoidance skills. Now there is money dangled in front of me to pull those memories back to the surface. Maybe unearthing these buried skills will cause me to remember my 7th grade locker combination too.

The sign of a failing site is a gimmick like this. I give it a month before the mashable staff is turning tricks to cover their bandwidth bill. But since you're already grabbing your ankles for coke money, I guess you won't have the time for that. Looks like you're just screwed, assholes.

Trolls?! These aren't trolls. I see no Larry Craig toe-tapping here. THAT is a real troll.
You missed the wittiest troll of them all , BUTHEAD!

I told him to include you, Miss Universe. What a poor excuse for a human being he is.

Perhaps if you titled the Troll Week posts "STAYING CONNECTED: 20+ Ways to Win Friends on the Internet" you'd get troll responses of a higher caliber, instead of nonsense about Fake Cashmore and bongs. Protip: Just because Daniel Lyons wrote a book shouldn't give you the idea that faux aliases are your key to a Series A round. Get a grip, 2.0tards.
On second thought, I'm not sure that the "20+ Ways To Try And Get On Digg" posts would attract the right type of audience either. It'd be more likely to pull in people having the trait of hammy-handing links at the bottom of the page. You know - "Mashable MySpace! Codes! Profiles! OMGWTFBBQ GLITTERTXT!" It's people like them who reply "THX FOR DA ADD" in a gigantic circlejerk, when really they're only replying to Russian bride spambots. You're not going to find Something Awful-grade trolling here when your target audience embeds a YouTube anime music video (with the background track as one or more of (Evanescence|Fall Out Boy|Linkin Park)) into twenty different tables on their profile.
I'd also like to mention that your comments box and registration process is made of fail, suffers from the worst user experience I've seen since calling outsourced tech support, and that losing user submissions into a flurry of "hey, put in your Gmail password so we can rape your contacts list" is really what I'd expect. I mean, your site promotes social media and Web 2.0; whose business plans collectively revolve around calling a few lines of Ruby on Rails and SQL a service. But hey! Think of how many friends you'll have!

This is about the dumbest thing to happen here on Mashable. I'll have whatever the editors are having.
