That kind of comment seems helpful. We used to have fun with comments at one place where I used to work. There was one really bad developer and basically everyone else. Once the bad developer handed off his code to the group, comments started to appear like: "And here's where John goes completely off his rocker. I pity you for having to fix this." "Dear GOD please don't let me ever have to work on the following code because it's just too horrible to bear." "Oo. This is some impressive logic, ain't it?"
It made everyone feel better about having to edit his code.
