- libertao, on 08/04/2008, -5/+48An onion article from 2005? Really?
- RegalGSX, on 08/04/2008, -3/+25The Onion articles make me cry now, kind of like real onions.
- FlyingPhotog, on 08/04/2008, -7/+29Because some of us are tired of "The Dark Knight" and iPhone fanboy articles.
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -0/+17I'd never grow tired of sleeping with that Asian chick.
- alapoet, on 08/04/2008, -3/+20Time to make some new hires.
- chaos7, on 08/04/2008, -4/+20i so agree. fake news should not be mixed in with real news.
- Apocalyptic0n3, on 08/04/2008, -17/+30Why is it that so many Onion articles make it to the front page? http://digg.com/news should not have completely false, satirical articles on it. It's ridiculous.
- Crath, on 08/04/2008, -1/+13i didn't realize it was from the onion until after i read it
i was getting excited about going into the work force - RetroRufio, on 08/04/2008, -5/+17If I want to read useless comments, I'll go to http://digg.com/users/DaveClarkOne/history/comment ...
- revjustin2, on 08/04/2008, -3/+14I believe your brain comes pre-installed with an Onion-filter extension. When you look at a submission, be on the look-out for "theonion.com" and then don't read the article. It works pretty well and can be customized to work for other digg submissions.
- mattcarreiro, on 08/04/2008, -2/+9this is ridiculously old. i have one of the onion books from a couple years ago and this is in it.
- mrjit, on 08/04/2008, -1/+8I don't get your point.. it's satirical, yes, but the entire point of it's humor is poking fun at the fact that wait-staff of restaurants typically HAVE slept with each other over and over.
- spillwater, on 08/04/2008, -1/+8that title smelled like an onion
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -5/+11Perhaps they should throw in more fart jokes and "you know you're a redneck when..." lines so you'll feel more at home.
- BXRWXR, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6OK, buried.
- tidu, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6some sexy new hires.
- doctordbx, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5The Onion was funny when you didn't anticipate it being The Onion.
Now, whenever there's a semi offbeat headline, I check the URL first and sure enough... - RideDaMountain, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6What a dumbass article, who diggs this *****?
- iPood, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5Sleep with her all you want...i wanna ***** her.
- Namco, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5News you say... hang on let me check which section this got submitted to... well the URL says "http://digg.com/comedy/Waitstaff_Tired_Of_Sleeping ...", so it appears to be under comedy by looking at the URL. Next let's check the breadcrumbs as web designers like to call them.... hmmm. It reads "All » Offbeat » Comedy". Wow, That's strike two. Doesn't look like it's submitted under news so far. Finally let's check the tabs. They say Popular > News > Offbeat. Well, it does say news there, but that's more of an ambiguious description of any link that isn't a video, image, or podcast.
So my conclusion, quit your bitching and filter the offbeat news or comdey from your profile. Click on your profile link and go look for it. - mithrasinvictus, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5Its in the comedy section. You can turn that off in your preferences if you want.
profile->settings->customize topics - pitchblack16, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3i wouldnt mind working there for a month
- AJKenny84, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4I was hoping that this was going to be an actual news report...
- Origin415, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Then take off everything but World & Business/*News in your settings if thats what you want.
- Peko, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3My higher brain function extensions don't always work. They are in conflict with the drunk extension. I'm also experiencing occasional "between chair and keyboard errors".
This article was written for me. - tinkafoo, on 08/04/2008, -2/+4Quit your bitchin, The Onion is awesome.
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2Hey, if I go through all the pins and needles in my arms, and the hot, sweaty cuddling; I'd better get to ***** too.
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2Man... I already own the book that contains this article. Let me go back and submit the "Clinton Deploys Vowels to Bosnia" article while I'm at it.
- Kenzan, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I don't get it.
Restaurant staff members regularly have sexual relations with one another?
Is that the joke? - PrinceMissile, on 08/04/2008, -2/+4I'd totally bang the asian chick.
- CrazyDEX, on 08/04/2008, -2/+4Onion article from 2005? really?
- Typhoon2009, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I think SP2 is a bit older, actually. Came out in 2004.
- TheGibson, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2Seriously. Old as Service Pack 2. Come on.
- mrlost117, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1and it was alllllllllllllll gooooooooood /waiter
- BossKey, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1I loved this article, but to see it show up today is like WTF, time machine?
- JPollet85, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1The Onion is cool enough, but I didn't even notice how old the article was. If you've ever worked in restaurants you have to Digg this because it's ridiculously true. Restaurants are like low paying swingers clubs with bad music and slightly less cocaine(only slightly). And if you're not sleeping with someone from your restaurant then you're sleeping with someone from the restaurant across the street that you met out drinking. Servers are an incestuous bunch, it's good to be the bartender.
- dlm85, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1I think this story may be true. There seems to be a lot of this going on at the bar I go to.
- chaos7, on 08/04/2008, -6/+7i agree.. i always bury theonion
- xtothepowerofx, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1you know that if you bury an onion it's only gonna grow more onions right?
- mlvassallo, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2I love the onion.
- fuckingusername, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2 wow this site turned into the National Enquirer
- wTheOnew, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2It's quite common...unfortunately.
- NJank, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1i see what you did there.
- unitedstatians, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Or here
http://digg.com/users/4Christ/history/comments
here's another
http://digg.com/users/jeessy/history/comments - DanH, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1why are onion articles from 2005 making it on the front page?
- PimpinOnWelfare, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Don't bring the tooth fairy into this, you suck.
- jkasquires, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1jesus stop with the onion posts. they suck.
- livbit, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2absolute bullsh*t...junk 'made of' news....
- dragon76, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2If people on Digg did not want to read Onion articles, it would not have ended up on the front page. As of my posting 427 people dugg it. So at the very least, 427 people wanted to read an article from The Onion. The bury feature is there for the community to vote. Use it.
