- m4dch1cken, on 03/11/2010, -3/+35I wonder if Al Gore will accept the award personally.
- schnikies79, on 03/11/2010, -1/+21Dumb. The Nobel Prize should go to a person, not an entity.
- RustyManchester, on 03/11/2010, -0/+17This is comparable to Time magazine's "Person of the Year" going to "You".
- eh123, on 03/11/2010, -1/+15accepting on behalf of the internet? 4chan.
- inactive, on 03/11/2010, -0/+12As a part of the internet, I will gladly place the Peace Prize next to my Time Magazine Person of the Year Award.

/burp - Railz, on 03/11/2010, -0/+10It looks fat in plaid though.
- boardthis, on 03/11/2010, -2/+10al gore couldn't make it tonight because he is building a freezer over the polar ice caps so accepting in his honor is manbearpig.
- inactive, on 03/11/2010, -3/+11Internet played a very important role in our lives well deserved...
- dsmx, on 03/11/2010, -0/+8However assuming the internet wins it means that every internet user can put nobel prize winner on their CV.
- boomchockalocka, on 03/11/2010, -0/+7Entities are people now. The Supreme Court said so.
- lerprendergast, on 03/11/2010, -1/+7I suppose the nominators don't read the comments on Digg, then?
- jakyastik, on 03/11/2010, -1/+7I thought humans were enough.
- Yankees368, on 03/11/2010, -0/+6One look at the comments on youtube and that nomination ends right there.
- riskybeats, on 03/11/2010, -0/+6I knew all my youtube comments were contributing to this world in a meaningful way
lol fags - bigtime2, on 03/11/2010, -0/+5Full of pun attempts by 12 year olds.
- Zippo, on 03/11/2010, -0/+5A pat on the back to all whom have helped made the Internet make it what it is today...
Al Gore... Tim Berners Lee... Vint Cerf... moot... - jupaneanu, on 03/11/2010, -3/+8I think it's a great idea, the internet plaid a huge role in all recent national and international conflicts
- vonsama, on 03/11/2010, -0/+5I wonder how that acceptance speech will go.
- philb0t5000, on 03/11/2010, -0/+4This is a wonderful idea, the internet has helped advance peace in many ways! Hell, they need to go further. Nominate the sun, for shinning bright all these years; The moon, for keeping our currents consistant so we can travel and advance peace through the oceans; Language, for giving us the ability to pass along words of peace; Books, why have these not been nominated yet, surely they have done more than the internet!
Any other genius ideas? - bigtime2, on 03/11/2010, -0/+4How do I claim my piece of the money that usually gets awarded?
- 3The3Dude3, on 03/11/2010, -4/+7The Nobel is a joke, anyway.
- mikbunn, on 03/11/2010, -1/+4So dumb. Might as well give it every other prize, since physicists, chemists, economists, doctors, and writers all use the internet, too.
- norsurfit, on 03/11/2010, -0/+3Technically, I believe it is the "Internets" thank you very much...
- CarStan, on 03/11/2010, -1/+4he'd be the first one to get the Nobel Piece Prize 2x
- Predater, on 03/11/2010, -0/+2May be 4chan will accept the award
- jivatmanx, on 03/11/2010, -0/+2"By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it, together. The Terminator knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. Maybe the future has been written. I don't know; all I know is what the Terminator taught me; never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun. "
-John Connor - boyprodigy1, on 03/11/2010, -1/+2Al Gore is a scientist dumbass.
- Dolomite808, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1I'd like to nominate the elements Hydrogen and Helium for being the basic building blocks of the universe (and by proxy, the concept of peace).
- inactive, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1Next year I hope they give the Nobel Peace Prize to the concept of Peace itself.
- NMRgentleman, on 03/11/2010, -2/+3At this point, my response is "how dare they insult the internet in this way." Sorry, but that's what the prize has become. And I don't say that just because Obama won it 2 weeks into his presidency, he was just one of several undeserving winners of late.
- xXdredgXx, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1so does that mean every person in the world who uses the internet gets noble prize? since we are the one who use it an created it
- sint4x, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1So have rocks, just sayin'
- inactive, on 03/11/2010, -1/+2I like how Obama's acceptance speech for the Peace Prize was an explanation about how sometimes war is necessary.
I like Obama, and I doubt he had much choice, but really? He'd have been better off just not showing up, or politely declining. IE, "I appreciate the endorsement of the Nobel committee, but it would be premature for me to accept such recognition for the efforts I've made before they've had a chance to be tested by harsh reality." - eh123, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1I image a lot of stuttering, mumbling, and awkwardly concealed erections.
- orthodoxDrew, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1if they are talking about iranians twittering then it should be the iranians or twitter
- inactive, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1Except that Time's Person of the Year, while taken seriously, probably shouldn't be. It's just a marketing thing. Nobel Prize is, or should be, a tremendous honor unsullied by this sort of publicity stunt.
- Yage2006, on 03/11/2010, -0/+1It had better win. I can think of nothing that has changed society more then the internet and electricity.
- SocialStacy, on 03/11/2010, -1/+1we're also hearing Nicholas Negroponte and 2003 Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi are both in support of the idea, which has been described as "a Nobel for each and every one of us"
Fools! They must have forgotten that the internet is Al Gore's baby. I'm sure this will more than makeup for the most recent recipient of the prize.
Good one kevinlouis! - boyprodigy1, on 03/11/2010, -1/+1Please elaborate on how President Obama did not run an inspiring uniting campaign.
- raananh, on 03/11/2010, -4/+4After they gave the prize to Al Gore (a politician that took a ride on the Global Warming trend), Yaser Arafar (an evil terrorist who never gave up the idea of destroyin Israel and killing all the Jews) and Obama (I actually like him, but you don't give the prize after 2 months in office)... the Nobel Prize for Peace lost all it's value and credibility.
- boyprodigy1, on 03/11/2010, -1/+1He's half bear and half manpig...
- inactive, on 03/11/2010, -3/+1Fail.
- Heidenreich12, on 03/11/2010, -6/+1I mean, they gave one to Obama, might as well give one to the internet. Keeps loosing its meaning.
- 3The3Dude3, on 03/11/2010, -13/+3Does Gore accept it on teh internet's behalf?
