Learned something new. I seldom, if ever, use the visual mode so I mark 
the end of the block and use the  :.,'as/^/#/  form. Years of muscle 
memory. I have a book on Vim somewhere. What it pointed out to me is how 
much functionality Vim has that I don't use. I learned one way to skin a 
cat long ago and stuck with it. For example I use :new foo.txt to get two 
vertically stacked panes.  I know you can do side by side panes but I 
never do.
