    • axel2k, on 10/12/2007, -17/+54Precious? I hope you're female, because the word "precious" should never be used to describe ANYTHING if you're male unless 1) you're Gollum, or otherwise under the influence of the Ring, 2) you're trying to get laid, or 3) you have to say it because it's a name of a product, but you're only referring to said product because of 1 or 2.
    • slack31337, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4@axel2k

      lol that is so true. Its like the word "chartreuse" No man shall say it unless it refers to fishing tackle. or you are attempting to get laid e.g " I love your chartreuse sheets, you and I would look great in them"
    • OrangeTide, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10DON'T JUDGE ME!
    • KyleGoetz, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1@axel2k: I'm sure the OP meant to say "priceless" instead of "precious."
    • marianosf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"San FranSisco"?
  • trib4lmaniac, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38http://tinyurl.com/yffnwe
  • steviebaby, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Absolutely love it. A wind up tool that is first class.
    • WhiteTeeRash, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2“First class”, in a USPS mail kind of way.
      (Typography looks like a hick Midwestern town weekly newspaper.)
    • OrangeTide, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You wouldn't survive a week in a "hick midwestern town".
    • WhiteTeeRash, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1“Wouldn't survive” in a couldn't-stand-it kind of way.
  • AhrenBa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow! This will get some use to trick friends in the future! ;)
  • gmarks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Just like the dummies ting the other day. 
  • Skeuomorph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Great idea, nice tool, but too bad the body text looks like an early nineties bit-mapped screen font instead of newsprint.
  • davidlow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I just changed "Martians Invade Earth" to "Earthlings Invade Marcia". Ha!
  • cJw314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7/agree with Skeuomorph - but still handy for a prank or two. : )

    Dugg!
    • ggold6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I submitted..(first time).

      Question: what happens if indeed i was warned, looked at the links, none seem to point out to this generator (also looked in the digg search box for generators just in case)?

      I mean if it got to the front page enough people found this new. You have to expect this to happen, some users are 'advanced' in the sense that they have been around for a while and saw more than newbies (or others that just missed a certain topic). Anyway the intention is not to get to the front page by submitting whatever. happy new year.
  • MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4This is old but cool :)
    Think it was up on Digg some time ago or maybe it was something on the same site.
    • soccerboi00, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Words not to you use unless you want to get dugg down: this is old.
    • nuclearpenguins, on 10/12/2007, -12/+10I remember when Digg's user base didn't suck so much and one could expect to be praised for pointing out a dupe or something that's old.
    • SonnyW, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13@pinguin
      Complaining about something being old or a dupe when it has already reached the frontpage is retarded. If it's on the frontpage then the article was new for plenty of people. If you've seen something already just don't digg it. Bitching about it in the comments is just a waste of time and space.
    • griz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Posting an article that has already been posted in an attempt to reach the front page is also a waste of time and space. Dupe submitters should not gain the recognition of reaching the front page. If the front page is nothing but dupe articles, then digg is useless. Articles that are submitted even after the user was warned that it may be a dupe should be heavily weighted against the possibility of reaching the front page.
  • gfindlay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I love how the description is "precious" like this how one would describe, like, a baby taking it's first steps or something. This URL is just SOOO CUTE!
    • BobbyOnions, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2No worse than people describing phones and stuff as "sweet".
  • ioannusdeverani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh, boy. I am in love with this. This is awesome
    • OrangeTide, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6If you love it, why don't you marry it?
  • diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -14/+7This could ruin the Newspaper business.
    • Ryetronics, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14That's the most ridiculous thing I've read all year.
    • diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4/sarcasm
    • SavageOwnage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15This is one of the first things i have read all year, so yeah, that was the most ridiculous.
    • ConceptJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey, for rags like the NYT, this _is_ the newspaper business.

  • mwmilling, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I like it whether it's old or not.
  • thumbup, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1There's nothing better than the crisp, warm inky smell of a newspaper.
    • SonnyW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I can think of plenty of things better than a newspaper, but to each his own, I guess :P
    • KniteWulf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wasn't aware a newspaper could smell "crisp"
  • Wonderkind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I already sent a prank to a friend. The phony newspaper name will give it away, but it still looks so real, so she'll have a doubt. Terrific!
  • hotbeefman, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Digg was invented for stuff like this. Thank you Kevin Rose. (Say it with me)
  • HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This will make running my Call of Cthulu games so much easier!
  • khilari, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is what i love about DIGG...
    Thanks for sharing ...

    The whole thing was too big to fit in the image. Read the entire story below.

    ---

    After years of skepticism a zombie attack has finally occured throughout the greater New Jersey area. At approximately 10:41 AM the undead breeched the gates of hell and surfaced up through the ground, primarily in soft dirt areas, including constuction sites and around large bodies of water.

    Local law enforcement was overrun in a matter of hours. Most of the police force were either killed or turned into zombies themselves. Reports indicate that a single bite wound to either the arms, legs, or torso of a victim may turn them into the undead.

    Estimated casuality rates are only in in the range of two to three dozen, but the count of victims turned to the undead (officially not counted as deceased) are believed to be much higher, possibly into the hundreds.

    Both the governnor and president have already declared New Jersey a disaster area and the National Guard has been deployed. Despite deploying an estimated 10,000 troops into the area, reports are indicating that a majority of those troops have already been killed or turned into zombies. Generals on the ground, referring to the zombies, have suggested that the "sheer invincibility of these bastards" may force an air strike, as any measures on the ground seems to be proving ineffective.

    When asked if he would pull out troops on the ground who were in serious risk of being killed, or turned into the undead, the president vehemently denied such a course of action, claiming he would "stay the course" until it's "mission accomplished."

    While reports coming in are conflicting and unconfirmed, we believe a small group of the local population have barricaded themselves in a Wal-Mart and are said to be making an effective stand against the hordes of undead. All reports that support this story agree that one Leon Kennedy is leading this small group of survivors.

    We have, however, been able to confirm that reports of a seven foot cyborg super soldier fighting these zombies are indeed false. The US Navy released an official statement that said, "Obviously Master Chief doesn't fight zombies. He has more important things to worry about... like keeping armor shiny."

    In related news, Britney Spears was reported to be out partying with a few of zombies. All sources confirm she still isn't wearing any underwear.

    In other celebrity news, it appears Michael Jackson has been spared from any harm from the zombie swarms. While the reason for this was initially a mystery, an official zombie spokesman has just confirmed what we had all suspected, "He looks just like us."

    Stay tuned to WWW Times, WWW Times News (our 24 hour cable news network), and WWW.WWW.com for all the latest in this ongoing zombie attack.

    Figured it was appropriate.
    How convenient to have both these on the Digg homepage.
  • srodolff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-7/1043216/newspaper.jpg

    My two cents.........
    • desu43fnoc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0And what good would shooting down a UFO do?

      If we are to advance as a society we must learn to make peace with eachother, let alone others.
    • srodolff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21. Look at the date of the article.
      2. Ask yourself what is flying at the time of the article.
      3. Count slowly backwards from 10 to 1.
      4. See the lightbulb go off above your head.

      It isn't nearly as funny if I have to explain it to you.
  • scorwitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1OK, let me ask a silly question. What's the point if you aren't supposed to use the names of real people!?!?!?!?
  • javabeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1fantastic!!
  • scottalexander, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha, my whole office just discovered one of my co-workers to be gay. Can't beat it.
  • DigitalPimptres, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This can go into the "How to suck up to the boss" bookmark file. It is cute as hell.
