  • Paradoxt, on 04/14/2008, -3/+4Hell, I would throw punches too if I had Buddha backing me up.
  • snowrail, on 04/14/2008, -7/+2Does Digg have some sort of "deal" with the Onion? Why do stories from the Onion keep getting on the frontpage with almost no Diggs?
    • letitbleed62, on 04/14/2008, -2/+6cause they're ***** hilarious
    • xaogypsie, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1For the same reason I trust the Daily Show more than most other mainstream news sources. At least I know what I am getting, and it's funny.
  • vexxefx, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11Disco Melee is one of the most badass combination of words i've ever seen.
  • Sherman901, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1hahaaaaaa
  • zalpz, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1haha... woah I almost bought it. NOT NICE! it's not 4/1. The Onion keeps us on our gullible toes year round.

    old? no.....?
  • citydragon, on 04/14/2008, -4/+2Old, inaccurate and buried.
  • JointVenture, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3This will be front page news at the China Daily.
  • eigenweasel, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3"You like picture? You want to eat camera, picture boy?" :)

    This will be on Chinese state TV every day for a year. Minus the source.
  • BobSlefty, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1this doesn't surprise me. I had that lama guy in the back of my cab once when I was doing a spot of moonlighting and not only did he fail to give me a large tip but he also called me a "greedy *****" when I told him the fare. these buddhist monks are all alike - violent troublemakers to a man...
  • eigenweasel, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4After this issue was published, was there a wave of embassy burnings and suicide bombings by Buddhists upset at their religion being portrayed as violent?
  • nickcozy, on 04/14/2008, -7/+1Though it was joke ,i think the guy deserves to be arrested for being so naive and acting all innocent.The main supporters of him are the american people one of the most innocent people on earth, most of them have never been abroad, let alone going to China. Saddly, they believe what they saw on CNN is real.China is taking good care of Tibet and its people.

  • macmangb, on 04/14/2008, -3/+1This is in poor taste. the Dalai is a leader of a religion and a country, he deserves respect. This does nothing but give comfort to the enemy Chinese.
  • skyz, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11996 - how relevant !
  • SoundJudgment, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1*Buried as Accurate.*
  • rockpeteuk, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1you like picture, you want to eat camera picture boy .... haha classic
  • tewstep, on 04/14/2008, -0/+0" Signs of trouble came hours earlier, when the 14th religious and temporal ruler of Tibet shouted repeated requests for "Bush! I want to hear plenty more Bush!" When the club DJ responded by playing KC and the Sunshine Band's "Shake Your Booty," the monk threw a shotglass through the control booth and invited the DJ to "step outside and kiss the five fingers of enlightenment." "


    by far the funniest thing I've read on a Monday morning. God Bless The Onion.

    Love it!
