What is Digg?69 Comments
- floridiot2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+136Ass...hole in one. Cue drum thingy for a joke.
- merdiesel, on 10/12/2007, -7/+122He probably tried that a hundred times, finally gets it and the Wii calls him an ass... hilarious.
- Hurdy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+116"Ass" is german for "ace" which actually makes some sense...but the translation of wii sports is rather questionable ("2. Aufprall" in wii tennis?!).
It's also the past tense for "essen" (eat). - diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+64In German poker, asses are high.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+64Nice Ass!
- Nitro187, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I've gotten a hole in one once before, and it said "Nitro" in that same circle kinda thing. So... I'm going out on the limb here, and assuming that his nickname is in fact "Ass".
Still funny though! - Quaid, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27My Wii likes Ass.
- Barr08, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24"Ass...hole in one. Cue drum thingy for a joke."
Rim shot! - steste, on 10/12/2007, -17/+38Wow - this is what Digg has become??
A story makes the front page cos of the word Ass? - steste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13i hope you're joking......
- Herbie555, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12That's nothing compared to the greatest Wii Sports video of all time:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8658065268222085253&q=wii+golf - wiggles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Must have been the 19th hole :)
For those who don't get it: http://www.lifeisajoke.com/pictures337_html.htm (possibly nsfw) - Paroparo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I'm sure it means something completely sensible in German. Probably. Has a very good chance of, anyway.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I laughed my ace off on that one.
- ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15You can filter out countries and certain IP's but it's harder to screen for dumb.
Wheres the version of digg without the pre-pubescents ruining it with rampant immaturity.
Ass in german translates to ace. Get over it. A mild heh is about as far as I'd give it on the humour scale. - mbthompson, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12In Soviet Russia, the Ass hole's you.
- k3nt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7damn Wii not only causes black eyes and shattered TVs, it berates its most loyal users. xD
- proxima, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Wouldn't that make you dense? Ass.
- sandkiller, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7 -> Video Section
- pintong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I've gotten a hole in one once before, and it said "Nitro" in that same circle kinda thing."
Really? That's odd. I got a hole in one on the next course and it just said "Hole in One" (I still don't know how I did it!) - eimersaufen, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6So if I posted a message to my blog that Johnny Depp's name read in German means "Johnny Moron", would it get on the front page too?
Some Diggers are quite easy to amuse... - AshTR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow. Ass is German for Ace? Too, too funny.
I guess German Wiis like Ass. - legendofxix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You guys don't get it.
Its not so much the word "Ass" its the fact that it appeared in a nintendo game. - Kugellehr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it means ace in German...
Ho boy funny funny...
stupid Americans... - pustulio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was so surprised when she said that at the end lol
- osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8sigh
- parax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Maybe someone should compose a complete list of foreign words that appear funny in a different language, that way we could avoid ever having a submission like this ever again. Everyone could experience all the hilarity in a single read.
Meh. - noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha. That cracked me up.
- madformadness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What an Acehole!
- rossb1, on 10/29/2008, -0/+1Such a joker, who cares, its a damn video game no one can even find in the stores
http://www.golfclubs.ratrodbarn.com/ - poisonberry, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I am shocked it is on the front page, and would go as far as to guess that if the word was UBUNTU rather than ASS, it might easily be the #1 post for several days,
- nazsco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ok, one person here says (with +7) ass is ace in german. another ppl in the youtube comments says as is ace in german.
who do i trust? ...ok, world.altavista.com tells me that ace in german is "as".
Lesson: never trust digg comments. - MedHead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Rim shot? Nay. Sting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_%28percussion%29 - bargainsaddict, on 07/26/2008, -0/+0Hello...fellow golf addicts. =) I am a bargain addict too. hehe
Check out this great find...Golf Launchpad - Home Golf Simulator for PC, Mac and PlayStation 3 for $169.99 at http://bargainsaddict.com/index.html#golfsimulator - BassJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think most hole in one's will be on that hole as it's probably the easiest one to get onto the green in one hit. Good shot tho, made all the better by the Ass at the end! I feel so juvenile for finding that funny but eh, who cares!
- Cglass, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1All four of you need to join a secret society and drink the punch. That will be all for now, GO GO GO!
- nazsco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1world.altavista.com says:
Ass in german is "Ate" in english. - APErebus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0probably. Sometime i really wonder about the juvenile slant that this site sometime has.
OK, mis-translations are funny but you really wonder what is happening to digg when ppl find the word ass in another language funny... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ass is equivalent to ace in Englisch. Ich bin Deutsch! Wrong section so I buried you story :D
- apotheos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2You're ignoring the wii-hype. Anything wii gets extra attention (IMHO deservedly so)
- smack001, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1There are a few Hole In One vid's on YouTube at the moment, all on the same hole funnily enough. Though there is one that stands out. The person tee's off, one bounce on the green and then hits the top of the flag pole and somehow runs straight down to the hole....priceless.
Ive come close, done some monster chip in's and monster puts....ill get there soon. - cam503, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Digg has gotten much more attention recently. It's at the forefront of the first generation of Web 2.0 apps. People hear about it, the number of users go up, and it's bound to be flooded with idiots who post stuff like this. I'd say it's hard to make too big of a deal of it because, after all, the community took a part in digging this story up.
All we can really do is hope to influence those with slightly less maturity to digg more meaningful and higher quality stories.
That or we can just call the n00bs. - Dhalsim007, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Good stuff...
- walk, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Ass means ace in german, by the way. So it´s nothing that special.
- diggermike, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4I can not believe that this made it to the first page of Digg, and at the time of this posting it had 710 Diggs. Maybe I am to old to see the humor in "ass" coming on the screen. People have only been using "ass" for screen names since Pac-Man high score boards and you could only put in three letters for your initials.
- NightRush, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I wish I got a nice golden ass for a hole in one..
- GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -14/+9Family oriented console?
Here comes the lawsuits! "I saw a video of a game that I don't play in a language I don't understand, and it has irrepairably emotionally damaged my children. $3,150,000 plz" -
