  • aahpandasrun, on 03/09/2008, -23/+703This is older than the internet
  • skateboard1, on 03/09/2008, -5/+452You see ladies, with men you don't read between the lines... just every other one.
  • cykyc, on 03/09/2008, -16/+248What paper was that? I'm amazed the editor didn't catch it :-)
  • Maxamegalon2000, on 03/09/2008, -6/+179But if you only read lines 1,3, and 5, then you don't read line 6, which tells you to only read lines 1, 3, and 5. It's a paradox!
  • inactive, on 03/09/2008, -24/+175so is yo mama
  • Lutremi, on 03/09/2008, -4/+130Unfortunately, with ladies you have to read every line. Backwards.
  • nick2, on 03/09/2008, -4/+130Holy crap! I didn't know it's 1995 again!

    /obligatory comment
  • jdh24, on 03/09/2008, -7/+101probably something printed out and not a newspaper. i would think that formatting pages and stuff like that would have made this next to impossible to pull off
  • DougHenryII, on 03/09/2008, -3/+89How did this get on digg? I think this jpg came installed with Windows 95
  • patrflav, on 03/09/2008, -11/+96seriously this is the oldest picture on the interbutts.
  • Sinten, on 03/09/2008, -2/+85older than mccain
  • n064, on 03/09/2008, -14/+85this is so old that it came out before ipods...and im sure no 1 remembers that
  • MforMike, on 03/09/2008, -1/+67well built ehh?

  • schrankage, on 03/09/2008, -1/+64The big bang occured when God clapped his hands together in riotous laughter from reading this ad.
  • inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+56It was the paper that didn't exist, being as this is a 10+ year old AOL FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: You GOTTA see this!!!!! e-mail that was made up in the first place.
  • slambert90, on 03/09/2008, -2/+57I believe this picture was first discovered right around the time the pyramids of Giza were built.

  • Dylson, on 03/09/2008, -0/+45Then you have to read them in alternating order. Just to prove a point.
  • wildbillhick, on 03/09/2008, -0/+44no we type them out by hand each and every time.
  • sarixe, on 03/09/2008, -1/+41maybe the editor _did_ catch it.
  • gage006, on 03/09/2008, -0/+39I believe it is from the Photoshop Daily, circa 1995.
  • TheWorm, on 03/09/2008, -2/+41This is in my 1998 Bathroom Reader if that puts any perspective on it.
  • dedkittens, on 03/09/2008, -1/+38i wonder how many calls he got back...
  • AgentMull, on 03/09/2008, -1/+38BOOOO you suck.
    Please read line 1
  • morninglorii, on 03/09/2008, -1/+35I've seen plenty of stuff on Digg that I'd seen before, but this is the first one that truly made me go "are you serious... people haven't seen this?"
  • stoanhart, on 03/09/2008, -2/+34My friend's dad is a computer programmer. I remember seeing this pinned up in his office when I was 13. I'm 22 now.
  • str1fe, on 03/09/2008, -3/+34*sigh*

    Buried as old
  • sarixe, on 03/09/2008, -0/+31you're doing it wrong.
  • EpicSelekta, on 03/09/2008, -2/+32So am I! :'(!
  • inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+29Just Craig's List
  • axopro, on 03/09/2008, -2/+31title is a spoiler!!!
  • jstohler, on 03/09/2008, -7/+36"Her number"? You fail.
  • Fritzed, on 03/09/2008, -1/+30You buy classifieds by the line. You have easy control over how it breaks each line.
  • jdmzpf, on 03/09/2008, -1/+28Its a man
  • bitterbug, on 03/09/2008, -1/+27But what if his mama really is older than the internet? My mama is. Just barely.
    Is it still a "zing" if it's true?
  • inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+26this time i think it might actually be older than the internet
  • NeoRicen, on 03/09/2008, -2/+28It's a guy asking for a girl that fits the description. See the "WANTED:"
  • vagabondgr, on 03/09/2008, -0/+25And added the phrase "But please only read lines 1, 3 and 5".
  • Table, on 03/09/2008, -1/+24Genius. Hopefully women think the same and sleep with him because he is smart.
  • sarixe, on 03/09/2008, -2/+25it's probably true.
  • anagoge, on 03/09/2008, -1/+24I'm just wondering, but do people who post these ASCII artworks have them in standby notepad documents?
  • shoutsmurmurs, on 03/09/2008, -1/+23Probably more effective than Digg.
  • Junpei, on 03/09/2008, -2/+24That is the sound of thousands of diggers clicking your profile to see your picture.
  • Raphyy, on 03/09/2008, -5/+27This is so old. I remember seeing this image when I was 13 years old. Jesus, Digg has been so slow lately.
    Digg me down, and ***** off. =D

  • DeathOfDesire, on 03/09/2008, -12/+33Honestly, I feel like this joke has been milked to the bone.
    I've seen it at least twice before on Digg alone, and countless times on other sites.
    Let it go maybe?
    Not trying to flame, just a thought
  • Samas11, on 03/09/2008, -2/+23Yeah!
