  • thermaforce, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1buried...old news.
  • prisoner24601, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1I'm honestly wondering if the algorithm tweaks they made this week have made digg susceptible to more duplicates. May need more adjustments.
  • Turbojugend27, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1"Weird? Kinda. Digg worthy? Of course." Old, yes.
  • masterc, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1Weird? Kinda. Digg worthy? No, because it was one of the top stories here two days ago.
  • Darkhavans, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1Old, I'm ***** tired of multiples of the same stories hitting the front page. -_-

  • DucoNihilum, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1***** STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • CrimsonBlur, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1The first time this story made it to the front page I don't remember there being any mention of the safety concern and I hadn't thought about it that way. However, the bus driver has an excellent point and is right: in the event of an accident or even a sudden stop, that collar could be a major hazard for a human being. Dogs can take it, humans, not so much.

    The couple should have been concentrating less on feeling "persecuted" and concentrating more on common sense, especially since it sounds like it was explained to them by the driver. Just take off the leash you idiots.
  • WayneBop, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1REPEATED STORY. Jesus Christ, I get it, a weirdo leashes his girlfriend. Stop submitting this!

  • aceakm, on 01/25/2008, -0/+0If she can't ride the bus, how the hell will she get to see the Oracle and the Architect?
  • HiKevinRose, on 01/25/2008, -0/+0Buried as dupe. 2k+ diggs 2 days ago.
  • MadMatt92, on 01/25/2008, -0/+0That is unfair to judge people based off of the clothing they wear. They are normal people that is just what they do as apposed to wearing jeans and a tee. They were whatever it is that is. Ok thats it.
