We often say that the Times comment section specializes in crazy, but this weekend's post on the P-I.com heralding their site redesign has prompted a whole bunch of commentating goodness. The complaints vary, from "too much white space" to "too much focus on blogs" to "too many ads." As always, readers like the previous incarnation better, with some faux-threatening legal action ("I want to sue the Seattle P-I and get an injunction forcing them to bring back their old look."), while others claim they will no longer use the P-I, in favor of the Times. Now that's crazy.

In today's edition of "count on the Seattle Times comment section for the crazy," we take a look at this simple story about a Spokane couple and their pet baby giraffe. Somehow, the motley commenting crew manages to touch on Bernie Madoff, Michael Jackson, the Times' lack of real news, giraffes' weaning schedule, Spokane's weather, and the selfishness of the giraffe's owners. It is a thing of internet beauty. Our favorite: "Stop this insanity! Giraffes are meant to wander the savannas of Africa, not to be gawked at in enclosed spaces thousands of miles from their natural habitat."
