Wherever you go on the internet these days, you’ll be sure to bump into one of those horrid trolls. Whether they’re fishing for attention or just want to get a sick laugh out of somebody else’s hard work or misfortune, they’ll be there to type in a nasty remark and bask in the hate.

Darren Burton is one such troll, taking pleasure in finding Facebook memorial pages and then leaving behind a comment in poor taste. Doing it once or twice is one thing, but Burton apparently does this constantly, putting him a league above your general run of the mill jackass.

BBC Documentary program Panorama recently decided to track down Burton, who goes by the internet name of Nimrod Severn. And he’s just as repulsive in real life as he is online. Video after the jump.

Right now though, Burton is receiving one metric assload of well deserved Karma, as he has become the target of quite a lot of Facebook rage. Can’t say that I blame the Facebook community either for the hate campaign.
