  • KrayzieKyd, on 11/07/2007, -5/+31Be she felt like such a douche.
  • Akaji, on 11/07/2007, -2/+28What ads? Oh, you mean that ones that AdBlock blocks?
  • Stuart750, on 11/07/2007, -0/+24"Police said a person man was in custody in Nottingham" A 'person man' you say?

    Goes well with the endless shady ads that plague the website....

    Mother to dead man's family: I kinda maybe cremated your son without letting you know.... Sorry...
  • Rikkochet, on 11/07/2007, -1/+21Oh look, another group of commenters that didn't read the article.
    The son has mental problems and isn't reliable. The body found was an uncanny resemblance to her son including distinguishing marks.
    If you want more details, you could, like, click the big ***** link at the top of the page.
  • anitab83, on 11/07/2007, -0/+17Holy ads batman. Come on, I know they are trying to make some money, but this looks ridiculous!
  • KokomoNYC, on 11/07/2007, -1/+14Jesus?
  • rholland356, on 11/07/2007, -0/+12Boy? Man? Child? Was his age in doubt?
  • typicalusername, on 11/07/2007, -2/+13Dopplegangers, sent by Queen Dopopopulous!
  • Sanitarium, on 11/07/2007, -0/+10"They also showed me a picture of the man in Nottingham -- been taken two days earlier -- and it was my son. I then spoke to him on the phone and I kept asking him was the name of my mum to convince myself it was him. But I still couldn't believe it."

    I had to re-read each sentence in that paragraph about 3 times before I just about understood it. I'm still confused :(
  • loganhid, on 11/07/2007, -2/+12Then who was in the Coffin?

    Dun DUN dun!!!
  • inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+9ZOMBIE!
  • kmlixey87, on 11/07/2007, -0/+9um... did anyone else know that this "boy" was 37? really misleading title.
  • shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -0/+9http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/Boy_Found_Alive ...
  • Hobbes24, on 11/07/2007, -0/+8i bet it was really akward trying to convince your friends and family that: "no, seriously guys! I'm not dead!"
  • torrzilla, on 11/07/2007, -0/+6She sure cremated the English language.
  • Funktastic, on 11/07/2007, -0/+6The going to church part would be highly unlikely in Britain.
  • LethaLAziE, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6And not just any man, a PERSON man.
  • FriskDown, on 11/07/2007, -5/+11He's the douche here! Can't he check in with Mom every now and then so she knows that he's alive and well? The woman was obviously not sure if her son was still kicking. Then he disappears again.
  • Sanitarium, on 11/07/2007, -0/+6Edit: The above paragraph plus this one:

    "(Police) said a person man was in custody in Nottingham and asked me for three questions which only my son would know the answer to, Partington said."
  • KokomoNYC, on 11/07/2007, -1/+6Who is this Queen Dopopopulous? Is she like Greek? Greek chicks are SOOO hot!

    Whatever you say, magical talking pinata.
  • EmperorAwesome, on 11/08/2007, -1/+6Next story: bandits found in local caves.
  • Hobbes24, on 11/07/2007, -0/+4it's too bad he wan't a huge ***** and thought of mumbling "braaaaaains!" when her first saw them
  • inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+4Maybe he didn't feel like listening to her nag him about going to church and having some grandkids and not calling and not checking up on his siblings, etc.
  • PotoinMan, on 11/07/2007, -0/+4......awkward
  • Stradenko, on 11/07/2007, -0/+4Is he depressed or is he a mess?
    Does he feel totally worthless?
    Who came up with person man?
    Degraded man, person man.
  • inactive, on 11/07/2007, -1/+5There was no coffin.

    There was a cremation.

    Dun DUN dun!!!
  • maexus, on 11/07/2007, -0/+4Time traveller
  • inactive, on 11/07/2007, -3/+7"No."

    "But GOD said I could!!!"
  • quiznos, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3the article says their resemblance was uncanny
  • penguinxp, on 11/07/2007, -1/+4the backyard, what the hell? who wants to go that far. im sticking with jars in the closet.
  • subwoffers, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3Surprise!
  • iashraf, on 11/07/2007, -1/+4A dead guy?
  • ipaiba, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3The articles says they are contacting the man's real family. Do they know who he really is? This is very tragic. Somehow, this also adds to the arguments about how eye-witnesses can be horrible mistaken.
  • inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3Alvis smote those bitches.
  • CountBlah, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2I think that time travel may be involved. His future self was killed in the past, so at some point his past self will travel from the future into the past and get killed.
  • shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -1/+3version w/o most of the spam: http://www.postchronicle.com/news/strange/printer_ ...
  • SunLotus, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2The title is wrong, it wasn't a boy, it was a man, man. That makes a difference, I'd say.
  • petermcneely, on 11/07/2007, -6/+8awwww
  • ggofthejungle, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1wow, I never realized AdBlock was blocking ads by itself. I usually right-click on an ad and add it to the blocked list, but this time, it blocked about 6-7 ads... impressive.
  • ggofthejungle, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1This kind of news should be heard of more
  • Matt174e, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1You're Dead!

    AHHHAHAHAHA! It never ends!
  • hustl3r, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Wow. The second article posted on Digg today based in my City. There must be a hell of a lot of ***** going down in my area lately for it to keep getting featured on Digg. =)
  • skyfire1, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Your post had -1 diggs when I dugg you down. Just seemed like a major coincidence.
  • CountBlah, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Well that settles it, I declare Martian Law! Now where are my noble knights so that they may beat some ass?
  • Chaoticfist, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1I wish lindsay ontario would be on digg...........stupid lindsay.
  • sircomix, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1I get work emails that read like this.
  • Francky, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1I had to check what you meant, so I turned off Adblock... HOLLY ***** !! the article is almost unreadable, with ads all over the article and even splitting it up. Yeah, I could NEVER use a browser that doesn't have adblock (or similar function) that's for sure.
    People that create sites like these don't seem to realize only 2 possible outcome, either people will NOT visit the site or those that do will have an adblocker. Either way they loose, lol
  • AmICoolNow, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Pfft, it's Popodoppolous, idiot.
