It thinks it's a label and skips it. Plus, "REM" won't let you use "><|" in the comment, but "::" will. Of course, you could also do this:

goto comment
blah blah blah >>>> !!!! <<<< |||||
--430892450725
   some more dumb stuff
sudo rm -rf /
:comment

P.S. Did you know that batch labels are only significant up to 8 chars long? (unless using e.g. Win XP's CMD or 4DOS)
