Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 Your only other choice is:

 {{{
 /**
  * Strip the slashes from Cookies
  */
 function _fix_cookies() {
     $_COOKIE = stripslashes_deep( $_COOKIE );
 }
 add_action( 'sanitize_comment_cookies', '_fix_cookies' );
 }}}

 I almost threw my computer out the window 4 years ago when I found this
 awful mess.
