- strafefire, on 11/28/2007, -167/+6Isn't it Ironic, don'tcha think?
/Alanis Morissette- solesoul, on 11/28/2007, -4/+66No
- ChuckIT, on 11/28/2007, -5/+42fail
- BenKenobi88, on 11/28/2007, -4/+48What the hell was that.
- ekin09, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Lol, that was an EPIC failure even if he was trying to be sarcastic.
- mwalker05, on 11/28/2007, -6/+63whats ironic about a church doing good deeds and wanting to help people? isnt that sort of the point?
- enakra, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5Nothing. But then again theres nothing ironic in that song either. So he's technically right.
- whiteninja, on 11/29/2007, -1/+2It's also not really from a church.
- enakra, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5Nothing. But then again theres nothing ironic in that song either. So he's technically right.
- shanthp, on 11/28/2007, -16/+7Kill yourself.
- Jeffler, on 11/28/2007, -2/+19Its like ray-ee-ayyynnn....
- xtc46, on 11/29/2007, -11/+1your spelled rain wrong...wtf?
- blitzkriegpunk, on 11/29/2007, -6/+3You're spelling your wrong.
- qualish, on 11/29/2007, -4/+5"You are" spelled rain wrong. Me thinks it was a typo and not a grammatical error. You are both idiots.
- odnaryperson, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1hah
- blitzkriegpunk, on 11/29/2007, -6/+3You're spelling your wrong.
- GawtMilk, on 11/29/2007, -4/+2AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, IT FIGGERS
Too soon?

- ThndrShk2k, on 11/28/2007, -3/+3Hey, all I'm looking forward to on sunday is the --free soup-- next saturday.
- Komgol, on 11/29/2007, -3/+5No, but a song about irony that describes things that are not ironic, is, in fact, ironic.
- redback, on 11/29/2007, -1/+2too true
- Iknockstuffdown, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2That would be ironic, of course if it were true. It's called situational irony when something happens that you don't expect to happen. ie: It happens to rain on your wedding day.
- Komgol, on 11/29/2007, -2/+1No, rain on your wedding day is not ironic. It just sucks. It would be ironic if there was some special reason that it shouldn't rain on that day. The lack of knowledge that you and Morissette share doesn't change meaning of Irony. Sorry!

- solesoul, on 11/28/2007, -12/+108Gentlemen, I'm afraid we're boned.
- tastybrains, on 11/28/2007, -0/+50This is actually a work of art. I remember seeing it on display at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art about ten years ago.
- ChicagoThor, on 11/29/2007, -0/+9It is still there, I saw it a few weeks ago.

- saucedmike, on 11/29/2007, -2/+5Cheese It!
- RedHairedMan, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2Meh, this is the sort of crap humanity has had to deal with throughout history. Alcoholism and drug use? Standard in almost any part of the world and any part of history. Poor and hungry? Hey some cultures used them as sport, others just threw them in jail for being poor until they could buy their way out. Abused wives? Women only got to vote last century, wife abuse didn't exist because it wasn't abuse back then, it was "appropriate discipline." Nowadays we're starting to actually try and DO something about all the worse elements of our nature and so it's thrown into the light and exposed for everyone. Teenage suicide is probably about the only really new thing on there, and yeah, it is extremely tragic. I suspect it's just due to a heightened realization that we've always sucked and always will and the overwhelming despair that follows that.

- charlief, on 11/28/2007, -51/+16Great future indeed. Sponsored by the George W. Bush campaign for screwing America over. But then again... those meetings could be harboring terrorists.. *eyes around suspiciously*
- mwalker05, on 11/28/2007, -5/+24you are right, lets all just blame 1 man for everything thats wrong in this country. nevermind that its in fact our own fault for not taking action, for being apathetic, and for being lazy and ignorant.
- bugsy187, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2Plenty of people have actively resisted and campaigned against Bush and his policies. Americans elected Democrats to get us out of Iraq, but these "leftists" betrayed the public. Democracy doesn't function in the US. It's stacked in the favor of the rich and powerful.
- treak007, on 11/29/2007, -2/+2*cough Republic *cough....go back to school
- bugsy187, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1So, you agree this is how it works?

- bmc31190, on 11/28/2007, -1/+18How would George W. Bush be responsible for alcoholics, abused spouses, teen suicide, drug addiction, or eating disorders? We've had all that years before he came in. I agree that he's a ***** president, but these things aren't his fault.
- bugsy187, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2There is a connection between lousy social programs and the social decay you describe above. The programs are proven and there are many examples around the world and through history. There are programs in the US that could be cited, too. Bush is in a position to improve social conditions, though it's against his party goals. His party supports the wealthy sectors of our society. Social programs cost money that could be privatized or directed elsewhere. It's why they focus on "personal responsibility" while overloading public schools and failing to update textbooks and equipment (for example).
A friend from Australia once said to me "...if a girl has real opportunity they won't do drugs or get pregnant. It's common sense."

- SuperWinner, on 11/28/2007, -15/+9As long as you keep your rose colored sunglasses on at all times, things will seem just fine... and everything is pink!
- halobender, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5It's all pink inside?
- mikesbaker, on 11/28/2007, -46/+32but churches are awful places that only spread their dirty creationism and not help people in need as this picture would seem to imply
/sarcasm for those of you not running on all cylinders today- robbyjo, on 11/28/2007, -24/+13And I have yet to see any atheist organizations that help with soup kitchens, abused spouses, etc.
- MrStabby, on 11/28/2007, -9/+9As a Christian, who relishes nothing more than spreading a little truth on Digg every now and again, that was a -1 for our side...
There are no such thing as "atheist organizations", or at least atheists claim there are none...- jimmiss, on 11/28/2007, -3/+2wtf are you downmodding for?
- Urusai, on 11/28/2007, -2/+15An atheist organization is like having a Society for Not Birdwatching. You know, where people get together and don't birdwatch; not to bash birdwatchers, or bitch about birdwatching, but to do other things.
- robbyjo, on 11/28/2007, -3/+4Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Atheists
- shaun1018, on 11/29/2007, -1/+9I'm going to start a Non-birdwatching club.
"Is that a bluejay?"
"You're out of the group."
- pilot3033, on 11/28/2007, -5/+4Like an "anarchist organization", it just doesn't work.
- Scheissen, on 11/28/2007, -2/+2???
Anarchists organize because they have similar views. Anarchy is against the gov't, the last time I went to a party wasn't to form a government.- adidax, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5Really? ***** man, we used to go to government forming parties all the time back in the day.
- MCMLXXXII, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1*puzzled expression at boring political meeting* Oh so thats what you meant by party?
- Scheissen, on 11/28/2007, -2/+2???

- nicksauce, on 11/28/2007, -10/+12It is also true that places other than churches cannot help people in need because they don't have god.
/sarcasm- mikesbaker, on 11/28/2007, -5/+1logic - look into it sometime
- moskaudancer, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1"/sarcasm" - look into it sometime

- fani, on 11/28/2007, -26/+5bury
- FredFredrickson, on 11/28/2007, -29/+6Glad to see that America has such a strong future ahead of itself under conservative lead.
- ExGhost, on 11/28/2007, -3/+7Change your attitude and you just may help change this country!
- active1x0, on 11/29/2007, -6/+3***** buried. George Bush is not a conservative you ***** RETARD. He is a Republican. There is a goddamn difference, but half the people on this site are too ***** stupid to ever pull their heads out of their ass and read about political ideology.
Your comment doesn't even ***** belong anywhere near this article anyway. Like somehow Conservatives in Washington are responsible for any of this *****? ***** tools like you who expect the government to take care of everyone and make sure their life isn't ***** are the lowest of the low.
Please, don't vote.
Oh, and don't forget to bury my comment too because it challenged your stupidity.
- sanotaan, on 11/28/2007, -5/+95seems america's joyous future also includes surprisingly good typesetting where you least expect it
- ahawks, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1You do know how those signs work right? They use plastic letters, and the surface has horizontal grooves that you slilp the letters into. This doesn't look fake to me
- darny, on 11/28/2007, -11/+422F this. I submitted this weeks ago:

also, this image is stolen. My submission links back to the original posting of the pic, which is here:

- BryanJK, on 11/28/2007, -1/+24Welcome to Digg :(
- KingGorilla, on 11/28/2007, -8/+1Maybe people on digg just don't like you. They did digg this
- fenixconnektion, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke: I'll be careful.
You'll be dead!
- fenixconnektion, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
- lensman00, on 11/28/2007, -3/+28I wondered for awhile why I seem to be a reasonably popular commenter (averaging maybe 9 diggs per comment), yet none of my story submissions take off. I did some research and I believe I've figured it out. You have the same problem I do.
Here's the deal in a nutshell. We have no Digg friends. It's a social networking site and a network of friends is essential to getting a story jump started with a reasonable base number of diggs. A person with an extensive friend network might see your story when they go to submit, but will be saying "no way this will ever hit the front page - he doesn't have any friends, I'm not wasting a digg on that", so instead of digging your submission they just submit their own.
Comments are more egalitarian. A little strategy about timing them helps, but an early comment on a popular story will go in front of a lot of eyes and you don't need a bunch of friends to have them dugg up (yours being a case in point).
/science- Komgol, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6Wanna be friends?
- einsteinx2, on 11/29/2007, -1/+10Dugg because my OCD demands that your comment have a +9 next to it
- AceLy, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2Hey, now you have a +9 next to your comment.
- chubbstar, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5it went up to 10 but i fixed that. heh.
- einsteinx2, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1For some strange reason that makes me happy.
- einsteinx2, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1Why did this comment go to the top if I replied after them? Now the comment doesn't make any sense.
- Lossandra, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0I broke your nine. My ODD demands that I test your limits.
- treak007, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1hey man, it sucks, i know, this submission should be buried too.
- yamyogurt, on 11/29/2007, -3/+1Well learn to shoot glass a slight angle so you don't catch your own reflection in it.
- Anliz, on 11/28/2007, -57/+154I see a pic of a church spending all of its time trying to help people, and then trying to spread a message of hope. This is the best criticism of the church you can come up with?
- spiritditch, on 11/28/2007, -5/+53Nothing in the picture implies criticism of the church.
- ashlocke, on 11/28/2007, -7/+69Criticism of the country, not the church.
Nice try though. Look, Read, Post.- luckykpolice, on 11/29/2007, -1/+7You forgot "Think."
- blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Maybe he's just being honest.
- luckykpolice, on 11/29/2007, -1/+7You forgot "Think."
- S1L3N7B0B, on 11/28/2007, -3/+7I see a picture of an art piece. Interesting.
- blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -2/+4I think your defensiveness has prevented you from seeing the point. This is a criticism of the US. American culture emphasizes hope, faith, and personal responsibility while a lot of unfortunate people are in a sense wallowing in ***** on a day to day basis. It's been going on for plenty long enough to see where we are being taken. The government doesn't help them and people don't want the government to help them. The church picks up the slack, and the values (which haven't been treating the poor too nicely) get reinforced further.
- spiritditch, on 11/28/2007, -5/+53Nothing in the picture implies criticism of the church.
- kerguelen72, on 11/28/2007, -3/+79I go to all 7
- zbarnett, on 11/29/2007, -2/+2Yet somehow you still use digg....amazing
- ElMoustache, on 11/29/2007, -0/+8so you are an alcoholic, drug addicted, married and abused teenaged who needs help for suicide prevention and has an empty stomach and an eating disorder?
thats pretty rough man. good luck with that. - Neuz89, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10Try starting a fight club instead
- eyelessprimate, on 11/28/2007, -5/+25Fight Club?
Evolve and let the chips fall where they may... - econojon, on 11/28/2007, -4/+52I immediately thought of Fight Club
- Bologner, on 11/29/2007, -2/+2Narrator: I'll tell you: we'll split up the week, okay? You take lymphoma, and tuberculosis...
Marla Singer: You take tuberculosis. My smoking doesn't go over at all.
Narrator: Okay, good, fine. Testicular cancer should be no contest, I think.
Marla Singer: Well, technically, I have more of a right to be there than you. You still have your balls.
Narrator: You're kidding.
Marla Singer: I don't know... am I?
Narrator: No, no! What do you want?
Marla Singer: I'll take the parasites.
Narrator: You can't have both the parasites, but while you take the blood parasites...
Marla Singer: I want brain parasites.
Narrator: I'll take the blood parasites. But I'm gonna take the organic brain dementia, okay?
Marla Singer: I want that.
Narrator: You can't have the whole brain, that's...
Marla Singer: So far you have four, I only have two!
Narrator: Okay. Take both the parasites. They're yours. Now we both have three...- dbz253, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1of all the quotes you could have taken from that movie.
- Bologner, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1It's the one that made sense for the topic.

- mickcn, on 11/29/2007, -7/+1I don't think their is one. I thought this was ***** retarded.
- halobender, on 11/28/2007, -15/+3I just added Reddit to my iGoogle page and with that and Del.icio.us on there too I see all the new Digg stories before they become Digg stories. I like the way you can comment on Digg stuff but it seems like review.
- halobender, on 11/28/2007, -5/+1Hello bury brigade.
- JordanM85, on 11/28/2007, -35/+16The Digg atheists are the most annoying and rude people on the internet.

- KingGorilla, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3I did not need to know that
- radink360, on 11/28/2007, -16/+36WTF did this make the front page? Oh i know. the poster is a hot girl who has a ton of friends.. marked as lame.
- heartcoldfusion, on 11/28/2007, -2/+12Prepare to be dugg down to oblivion for stating what people pretend wasn't true.
- uziko, on 11/28/2007, -3/+15Really? The poster is a hot girl? Ok thanks for letting me know I could've made a big mistake by not digging this. Ok it's dugg now.
- uziko, on 11/28/2007, -2/+4dam, i just looked at her picture she is hot, i'll have to digg every other submision of her's as well from now on
- uziko, on 11/28/2007, -2/+5I'm also going to have to rub one off to that picture
- KingGorilla, on 11/28/2007, -4/+1I wouldn't tap that poster

- blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1You seem to have succeeded in some strange variant of the Streissand effect. Thanks to your drawing attention to this, now everyone's going to want to check her profile and digg up her stories..

- troycott, on 11/28/2007, -8/+4Irony is beauty
- mikesbaker, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6learn what irony is please
- BryanJK, on 11/29/2007, -1/+2irony
1 the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
Please save for later.- blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0That definition is woefully incomplete. There are many, many forms of irony.. such as dramatic irony, situational irony, cosmic irony.. and it takes time to get accustomed to what people consider to fall into each classification. This is in part why it's so controversial when people claim irony. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, etc.
- Shawn4168, on 11/28/2007, -6/+1Hmm...let's see just how many people we can fool before somebody realizes the picture's a fake! I'm looking at 35 so far...
- tastybrains, on 11/28/2007, -0/+29This is actually a work of art. I remember seeing it on display at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art about ten years ago.
- RidiculousHat, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8Yup, it's by Erika Rothenberg.
- sanotaan, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3ughh. and now my hopes and dreams of good typesetting becoming part of the american design subconscious are ruined!
hehe, if only i were a teen, i'd now know where i'll be friday at 7
- RedNeckerson, on 11/28/2007, -6/+20So a church spends seven days a week trying to help people with problems, and.....well.....what's exactly the problem with that?
Would it not result in a joyous future?
These people have decided to do something positive for others, and many of you here (who've never lifted a finger to help anyone) are going to ridicule them simply because you like to point and name-call. Nice. It's easy for me to see why the problems listed on that board exist when I read some of these comments. Guess who's causing problems and look at who's trying to fix them.
Buried.- blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -3/+0There's a culture of not wanting to pay to help others, and wanting the government to stay out of these kinds of problems. This is the sort of result that we get... where an organization that has the incentive of wanting to attract followers jumps in. They believe that it's good to attract followers, but that is a belief that they chose which doesn't make a lot of sense.
(I know, as seen above, it's a piece of art.. but it is heavily inspired by reality)

- kluivertus, on 11/28/2007, -3/+10The work of art is still there. This is not a serious gesture by a church, people.
This is a work of art that does not criticize any church, but rather reflects on how America's in a ***** place. The use of a church announcement placard makes it seem like a piece of the common-place, and also how the church often has to be optimistic in a place of pain. Everyone needs to get off their high horses- RedNeckerson, on 11/28/2007, -2/+1It's posted as if the sign is real though. It was intended to mislead those of us who don't live in or waste vacation days in Chicago.
Thanks for informing us of the facts.
Wish I could bury it again. - blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0Well said. It's more of an exaggeration to force you to think. As a piece of good art (as opposed to propaganda), there are many ways to interpret it.
I used to be upset with the church for what I perceived as preying upon the weak and disadvantaged. But perhaps there's not much they could do about it. If they didn't step in, then who would? It's heartbreaking.

- lowerlogic, on 11/28/2007, -2/+6that is messed up, who would want to actually watch people commit suicide?
/edit maybe the church is just being sarcastic. - EmperorAwesome, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Do we get to pick the method, Dethklok style?
- econojon, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Suicide Club, tbh. Another good movie.
....also, sexy ladies on the verge of suicide are more likely to have sex with you. If they are not, you must be pretty ugly, I mean, if a girl rather kill herself than sleep with you.

- etx313, on 11/28/2007, -1/+3I'll digg the ***** out of that. We're proper *****.
- ecshome, on 11/28/2007, -1/+0I need to go to about 4 of them. How many do you need to go to?
- Shadowfox99, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1Ah sweet! Soup kitchen! Seeya saturday at 7!
- Quote737, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6It's not real. It's art. http://erikarothenberg.com/ptgsetc/ptgs.shtml
- iluvkegs, on 11/29/2007, -1/+2i'm a monday thursday and saturday kind of christian =)
- blagoaw, on 11/29/2007, -2/+2As mentioned above, this is a piece of art from about 10 years ago. Sadly, it would have also been timely 30 years ago.. or even 80 or 200 years ago. There are some deep fundamental problems which were around long before Bush, as much as I don't like him.
- JergoR, on 11/29/2007, -2/+1The church itself is one of the main purveyors of ressentiment to the masses. Buried.
- hamobu, on 11/29/2007, -1/+2Church is doing good work helping people.
- osko2052, on 11/29/2007, -2/+2Hmmm, does anybody wonder how much tax dollars it would cost for the government to hold these help programs? All these programs are hosted now at no cost to taxpayers. How many soup kitchens do atheists run?
- Cyberen, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1Pardon me, but there are more secular relief organizations in the U.S. (Red Cross, etc.) than religious ones.
God would be very disappointed in your divisive view of the world.- tchynerd, on 11/29/2007, -1/+2I wouldn't count the red CROSS as a secular organization sort of how the red cresent isn't secular either. It maybe secular in function but not in foundation.

- DavidGX, on 11/29/2007, -2/+2lol religion

- number20, on 11/29/2007, -2/+1buried for being retarded
- DrSnugglebunny, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Well when the only way to go is up, emphasize the silver lining. Of Hell.
- moush, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1most churches have support groups during the week, sunday is the only day with a sermon so it's really not all that surprising
- OBKenobi, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1Need soup!
- ProtoE, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Sadly, this represents what many churches are actually doing. However, can these churches continue to be called Christian when they no longer do anything "distinctively" Christian?
- RobertS44, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2Heh, I saw this yesterday on reddit.
- caponumen, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2More likely a punishment from God........
- SeethisPass, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1We think happy endings are cheesy. That's why we aren't getting one.
How can things go well if no one wants them to?
Apparently we only like the bad guys. That's why we have let them lead.
