The current top comment by Matt Mullen is being upvoted at a rate of about 3 votes/second!

He appears to work at discus - did he use admin powers to comment on the article?

edit: "Tom Cruise • a few seconds ago I paid you for this?! Thats not nearly enough confetti"

Ctrl-F confetti, the comment is now gone.

The other interesting thing is that it seems to have -1 downvotes. Hax? Or a javascript bug?

Someone is trying to delete downvotes as fast as they can, except more votes are arriving even faster. Stare at the counter for a few minutes, and you'll see the vote count go up and down.

Looks like the comment moderator went on break.
