What is Digg?51 Comments
- JDoorjam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26The real story here is how low the bar is to getting something onto Digg's front page.
- inertic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14What I want to know is what restaurant doesn't have a few mice running around in the back when it comes to NYC.
- mookiemookie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13So it's a story about mice in a restaurant in New York City....
Remind me again why this is front page news? Is TCBY paying for diggs now? - bradanomics, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Why is this news?
- humperdeath, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Here is the rest of it:
Woman: Well there's rat cake ... rat sorbet... rat pudding... or strawberry tart.
Man: Strawberry tart?!
Woman: Well it's got some rat in it.
Man: How much?
Woman: Three, rather a lot really.
Man: ... well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it. - leontes, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8I personally find the mice infestation a pretty compelling endorsement of this brand of yogurt. They should use it in their advertising!
- SpectralSounds, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Finally, someone on the internet knows how to use the word loose.
I cant stand the people who think lose, is spelled like loose. Almost as bad as people who spell oops as opps.
/rant - dragon76, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Pinkberry is not frozen yogurt. No one knows what it is and they won't tell.
- gordonm, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6It's just a publicity stunt for Pixar's Ratatouille.
- dieselstation, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4If a few mice means the lines are shorter for my Pinkberry fix.. then i'm all for it!
- HanSolo69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3for the reporter to talk about how trendy the place is such an objective take on this story.
- humperdeath, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Rat tarts. Flavor of the month. "Have you got one without so much rat in it?"
- betterth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Did I log into the local edition of Digg?
Who the ***** cares that a random local-only restaurant managed to fail a health inspection or has rats? I've never heard of this place, and in five minutes, I will have forgotten it exists.
Seriously, what a waste of story space. - Vicken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"Their going to be coming by twice a week now," Morriseey said.
THEY'RE. - deusdiabolus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2So THAT'S what the secret ingredient is!
- underdog5004, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"... Their going to be coming by twice a week now,"
They still didn't get the "they're, there, their" mistake though. - hobophobe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Channel 66 reporter Recherd Kambarly has exclusive footage of an exclusive eyewitness news crew infestation of a trendy (another word for... exclusive!) pinkberry yogurt shop on 82nd street. He says reporters have buckled down and are doubling all cleaning efforts.
"Last night we had our exterminators come out..."
Seriously, while mice in a food service is not good, it's not really digg-worthy. Maybe if there were a digg-local section or if the mice were mutants or otherwise noteworthy. - mookiemookie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'd say the number of guys putting cellphones in their ass is infinately smaller than the number of rat infested restaurants in NYC
- yujie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3what would Samuel Jackson do?
- sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2that's even worse than finding a WHOLE earwig!
- dancenhance, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah, no big deal, keep on moving. This happens every day in NYC. There are as many mice and rats in these old buildings as New Yorkers.
- Waterrat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1 Why is this news?
Like this has never happened before in the history of man? - mikecap, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Give me a break. How is it news that rodents live in New York? The DOH is on a ridiculous witch hunt, and these sensationalist newshounds are only exacerbating the situation.
Also, Pinkberry rocks because it has secret toppings that you can only ask for if you know what they are! - WiZZLa, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This story is as bad as The Lady Tigra - Pinkberry (also known as "The Pinkberry Song")
Mice vs Tigers, who will win? - sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2oh wow, i can't believe how horribly horribly wrong i read that in my periphery
- solarbeat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's made of people. Well, maybe just the green tea variety.
- WhittierPoet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Stop complaining about the mice.
Start complaining about the expensive prices for frozen tangy yogurt. You are disgusting if you think $1 for 1 sliced up strawberry or dab of captain crunch is justifiable. - Waterrat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1 Why?
There is nothing dangerious they can catch from the mice...If there was, it would have already happened. - Waterrat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1 No,mice can have litters every 21 days.
- jdunkel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1finding a place in New York without mice would be better front page material
- bstolzberg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1WHAT IS EVEN MORE SHOCKING is the fact the Baltimore Airport has a rodent problem which they Cannot fix! There are mice running all over the B terminal. mice feces and urine on the ground.. kids playing in it.. parents changing their babies diapers on it.. I mean who Doesn't sit on the ground at the airport gate? THIS story needs some attention!!!
- febryle, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Quit your whinging.
- Palaceguard, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1This is news, no different as the guy in prison putting a cell phone in his ass
- seanherman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1wow, I live a few blocks away from this pinkberry on 2nd Ave, and saw the news van outside when I was coming back from grabbing a coffee. I had no idea what the van was there for, but now I know. I didn't ever think the explanation would come several days later from the front page of digg.com. Bizarre.
I refuse to eat there though. Anything with that sort of line is likely just some stupid trend, there's just no way it's that delicious. - bitterbug, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Mice infestations happen. When I was younger I worked in a deli and we had no rodent problems whatsoever, then seemingly overnight the little bastards were everywhere. We must have killed a dozen or more a day for a week, and then it was over. They didn't have access to any of the food in the store, so I would guess that garbage dumped in the alley next door had provided enough food for a small population explosion. Mice can have litters every three weeks, so if there's an abundant food source available for only a short period of time, you can expect to see the numbers shoot up rather quickly.
- jonnyboyca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0that's what i was thinking! i've been to 4 Pinkberry's here in the LA area and the lines are always out the door! maybe we should just bring mice and drop them down whenever there is a line! :)

http://benvarim.blogspot.com/ - bembe218, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0i surprised it hasnt happened yet i used to work at pinkberrys at 32nd st and their pretty nasty not only do the exploit their workers by making them use clorox to scrub their tables but their sink water gave me a really bad rash!!
- merdiesel, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2My little sister is crazy for this place, I can't wait to show her this.
- mrobbins, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2I for one, welcome our new rodent overlords.
- HarryTruman, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2This is some pretty awesome publicity for this store.
- BrokenWind, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1baby rats!
- mediapirate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Pinkberry's is overrated, expensive, and doesn't taste great...
- ryanmetcalf, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2...I for one welcome our new mice overlords...
- wesw02, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Their pink berry logo on the back of their T-shirts looks an awful lot like the Debian logo, look out pink berry!!!
- Suzilla, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Shut 'em down right away, with little or no notice, like they did to John's Pizza last year!
- Astrofabrical, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Why does it always have to be yogurt? When I was 3 or 4 my brother found half of an earwig in his Dannon yogurt.
- RadiantBeing, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1Stinkberries are the secret ingredient.
- kristobal1229, on 10/11/2007, -4/+0they should make cheese flavored froyo. mmmm
