No... look at the heading: "Community Comments". If you look at the
links, you'll see that they all link into the comments streams on
various articles. That sidebar element is a widget that automatically
selects and inserts "news items" from the comment streams.

All that has happened here is that a spammer has managed to get a
comment up. It will no doubt be deleted in due course, and the
"Community Comment" link will also disappear soon, replaced by a link to
a fresher comment.

Regards, K.
