I usually use a macro for this, but now I learn from the other replies 
that there are other more smart ways.. But just for the sake of it, here 
is what I would do.

Stand at the beginning of the first line you want to comment out.

qq                   (Start a new macro recording on q, qa would mean a)
i                    (Go to insert mode)
#                    (The character of your choice)
ESC                  (Get out from insert mode)
<go down one line>   (This needs to be part of the macro)
q                    (Stop the macro recording)
@9q                  (Play the macro 9 more times)


Kind regards
