It can't possibly generate comments worse than some I've seen

The Commentator uses revolutionary real-time language processing to actually grok your code and add the necessary comments on the fly. No more doco to slow you down. Just install The Commentator and watch as your coding elegance is eloquently decorated with insightful, nuanced commentary … as you type. What's more, The Commentator's powerful Personality Controls allow you to tweak it's output so completely that it's as if The Commentator is speaking for you. In your voice. Explaining to those that need it, so that you can get on and get busy.

“the commentator // time commenting could be time coding [1]”

The various axes one can tweak include FUD (Fear, Uncertainy, Doubt) (from the EFF (Electronic Freedom Foundation) [2] to Microsoft [3]), humor (from Dijkstra [4] to Ballmer [5]) and bitterness (from “green” to “Death March [6]”), to name a few, with options to use profanity, drug references and religion references.

Sounds neat. I could definitely use this to comment some of the PHP [7] code I have to deal with.
