I imagine the text being said while hearing a number of booo's in the background. The number of voices boo'ing would increase as the number of downvotes increases. I think that even if a downvoted comment may not be popular, it should still be heard so distorting the comment in some way, as mentioned by a previous poster, would take away that commenter's voice being heard.

Nice. Having booo's in the background is such a natural way to represent a downvoted comment.

Ha ha! I totally dig that! Would be a reason for me to start using text-to-speech software. :-)
