But with Reddit you have to triage the comments, because there are always some intelligent ones. I think 4chan might be the best choice. I've heard it described as "where smart people go to be stupid", and I think that's reasonably accurate. ICHC would be good too if you ran it through a LOLspeak -> English translator first.

You have to triage comments from any source, at least at first (and occasionally thereafter). But the filters learn very fast.

Ideally you'd triage them anyway, but the whole idea we're discussing here is to find sites monolithic enough that you can get away with not doing so.

No, I think you'd have to settle for mining good sources of stupid, especially the sort of stupid likely to start creeping into HN.
