- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -39/+925Yes, that was very cool of Kevin but you are way, way to excited. Please turn in your man card at the front desk.
- Yashar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+495I can see it now...
*next week*
"Digg Headquarters receives 10,000 letters addressed to Kevin Rose." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+321I thought your article needed more exclamation points so I have included them here:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - V1be, on 10/12/2007, -5/+314I just realized:

You submitted this EXACT. SAME. STORY 119 DAYS AGO. 119.
Did you learn the art of the sensationalist headline or something? Or for 119 days, have you been this excited -> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ? Strange boy, you are. - Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -62/+264You need a life.
- benitojuarez, on 10/25/2007, -14/+147Ill bet this kid has masturbated furiously over the sketches.
- prod1g3y, on 10/12/2007, -72/+197I can't believe the response I got from him! He's really nice (Not that I didn't expect that! LOL) Just goes to show that not all figure heads are rude and obnoxious!!! Thanks Kevin!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -33/+127"You need a life."
I bet thats what Wozniaks parents said to him when he was in the darkest depths of his room playing around with spare computer parts, or what Jobs parents said to him when they were all cramed in his parents garage tinkering around with soldering irons and mysterious computer chips. I bet thats what kevins parents said to him when he first logged on the internet for the first time or any of us for that matter and wasted an entire day on a forum. Please just because you are cynical dosent mean you have to rain on someone elses parade. Even if the kids excitement is something as trivial as a letter to one of his hero's which in retrospect isnt trivial at all... - tsupersonic, on 10/12/2007, -9/+98Any one else catch the bottom of the Business Week cover?
K.R. wrote, "P.S. Apple for Life!" - a3r0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+82Heh. Too bad Kevin can't spell "sketches"
- Kardde, on 10/25/2007, -3/+80You've got a really bad case of man-crush.
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -6/+77I'm typing this with one hand....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+74Not entirely sure if this is the author, "prod1g3y" (Andre Fedor from Toronto) or not, but I found an interesting article that may prove that this guy has been in the fan-boy / groupie business for years:
http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2005/09/02/1198575.html
Andre Fedor, 16, stood waiting in line since 9 a.m. and was the first to get her autograph.
"She's hot. I love her show (The Simple Life) ... She's gorgeous." - hesiod, on 10/12/2007, -38/+105Yeah, nice letter you sent there...
Don't forget to swallow. - h3r0, on 10/12/2007, -11/+70I did as well.
- Pluckie, on 10/25/2007, -1/+41...and now begins the flood of letters to Kevin Rose. Enjoy, Kevin!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+44What, a signed copy of Time magazine and a bunch of sketches for Digg Swarm and Digg Spy? That's one hell of a nifty standard response. Maybe I'll get some Digg source code if I send him a letter too :P.
- sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38where's the 'LOL bury' button?
- MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39looks like Mr. Rose has another admirer. Another IMMENSELY creepy admirer.
- toolow, on 10/25/2007, -1/+34there should be a 'bury under concrete' button.
- hesiod, on 10/12/2007, -11/+39"I bet thats what Wozniaks parents said to him when he was in the darkest depths of his room playing around with spare computer parts, or what Jobs parents said to him when they were all cramed in his parents garage tinkering around with soldering irons and mysterious computer chips.

What a completely baseless analogy. You're comparing the man who invented the Personal Computer to a guy who probably has a doll made out of human hair stashed away somewhere. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+37Go back to MySpace.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29"where's the 'LOL bury' button?"
It was destroyed by the Roflcopter. - Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32Interesting, but the article is 90% fanboy ass-kissing about Kevin and then two pics of things Kevin signed....I could have been content with just the pics instead of having 500 words about how much you love Kevin
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -23/+45The user that reported this as "Lame" is dead wrong, because this is ***** awesome. Dugg.
- gbrushtwood, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22This is the gayest link I have ever seen in my life.
- RaysinX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I wish I could become an average guy with a cult-like following...
O to be Kevin Rose - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21i gotta say this .. i enjoy digg alot but i do get overwhelmed at time with all of the kowtowing to kevin rose. after reading this, turns out he might actually deserve it.
the autographed picture was above and beyond but the sketch, nice.

i enjoy these kind of personal stories, i'm not sure why the submitter is getting beat up. - Roger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16@prod1g3y
I hope you know we're just messing with you.
I don't wanna read tomorrow about some digger committing suicide 'cus a few people made fun of him. - jackminardi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20According to my analysis the comments fall into one of two categories
OMG, i wanna be ***** by kevin
or
You are a loser who wants to be ***** by kevin
Both are pretty funny. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24Off topic, however i'd like to share the ad i currently see at the top of this page.
"Eliminate Male Breasts

It's not hard to find an address of a business. I have Alex's # but I won't go calling him, I find it awkward. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18OMG TEEHEE HE RESPONDED LOL I LUV HIMZ.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+28bah.. standard form letter response. he sends that to all the little people.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22"What a completely baseless analogy. You're comparing the man who invented the Personal Computer to a guy who probably has a doll made out of human hair stashed away somewhere."
You guys are missing the point, this kid's hero is Kevin Rose as Im sure everyone has had someone that has inspired them to the point of giggling like a school girl, I know the analogy might have been far fetched but my point was to illustrate that people putting this kid dow for getting overly excited about getting a response from his hero is just as retarded as him getting overly excited in the first place, and this kid might have not invented anything yet but anything that moves or motivates anyone to the point of wanting the whole world to see it usually end up to be the law breakers and revolutionaries of tommorow.. - crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15the song "Stan" by eminem was playing in my head as I read his letter.
- gr0ss, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19Lots! Of! Exclamation! Points!, I don't think anyone should be ripping on you for being excited about receiving something back from Kevin, most people are just too jealous they didn't think of it first and get those cool things he gave you.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20OMFG!!! Kevin Rose! Kevin Rose! Kevin Rose! Kevin Rose! Kevin Rose! Kevin Rose! Kevin Rose! [rub penis furiously!!]
Am I the only one who finds all this "Kevin Rose" crap from these Digg fanboys just cheapens the otherwise great service Digg provides, and makes it a laughing stock amongst more enlightened newcomers to the service?
I now fall courageously into Dugg-down Digg obilivion..... - JohnClay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14@jwyles
Yeah, that's Andre all right... He actually posted the original article from work, back in August... kept asking me if he had a good title, or if it sounded good... - shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -5/+17he still hasnt dugg this article yet
- Pix869, on 10/12/2007, -16/+28That's cool and all.
However, "Self-respecting Digg Fan"?
It's a website, not a lifestyle...
Glad to know the millionares and leaders of tomorrow aren't A bunch of tight-assed christians who only care for themselves. Awesome. - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I'm going to write a reply using only the words you randomly capitalized...
LOL ENOUGH YES LOL HOT LOL ENOUGH LOL...
that is all
By the way, 100 digg... :) - rynoon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Kevin's next package is sure to include an autographed restraining order and a bottle of Ritalin.
- jtjdt, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17I wonder if that would be the case if it was an e-mail...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12"I lol'd."
I rofled. Then lmaoed. Finally, I roflmaoed. - kickcows, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I think that this is really neat. Sure, you all can mock him and say that he's got a huge crush on Kevin, but come on. Are you telling me that you wouldn't be this excited to see one of your heroes (in the strictest sense) send you something like this? Its nice to see Kevin take a moment and send this to this guy.
Dugg. - estvir, on 10/12/2007, -8/+18@TheReport
Those situations are so vastly different to some random kid sending a letter to Kevin Rose (Not someone like Steve Jobs, Steve Woz or Bill Gates) detailing his -obsession- about him and things related (Like TV shows) and than getting a little -too- excited when he gets a reply. - Nerfdude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10met him (and alex) at the relaunch party, they were both really cool in person. it's nice when the figurehead of a company isn't a complete assclown, isn't it?
- Anonymous99, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13What the hell is the matter with you guys?! This guy admires Kevin and he's excited to show that the man is a true, down to earth man.
On another note, this reminds me of when Google sent some guy a pack of aspirins. - 1percent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10kevin rose uses a moleskine
