  • iDiggr, on 02/11/2009, -1/+36Hey, honey! How 'bout this. Ready? A romantic get-a-way on Teabag Island! Wait... What? No?
  • BotaXero, on 02/11/2009, -3/+27Except that's not what a heart really looks like.
  • BasicShape, on 02/11/2009, -0/+19How long before they make an even more perfectly heart-shaped island off the coast of Dubai?
  • Shreder1, on 02/11/2009, -0/+17Definitely testis.

  • Benjamintc, on 02/11/2009, -3/+17Good thing the island wasn't flipped 180 degrees, or it would look like a ballsack.
  • inactive, on 02/11/2009, -0/+12Just like the Barrier Reef Heart.

  • boonesfarm, on 02/11/2009, -1/+9and Florida looks like a sad wiener..... after not gettin' some on Valentine's Day.
  • WibWobble, on 02/11/2009, -0/+7Yes I did want half my screen filled with ASCII, thank you for asking.
  • iDiggr, on 02/11/2009, -0/+7Actually, it represents all of the old men there who are suffering from ED. It's really not a laughing matter.

  • PixelPusher74, on 02/11/2009, -3/+10But if you look at it upside down it looks like boobs.... or a skrote! (yes, I actually know how to spell scrotum, but skrote is just more fun!)

  • EllimistX, on 02/11/2009, -0/+4Just one?
  • kevlar21, on 02/11/2009, -0/+4It's not so romantic once you zoom out once or twice…
  • inactive, on 02/11/2009, -0/+4Oh yeah, it's beautiful alright. It's all fun and games and romantic. The you find out there are "other" people on the island. Then the smoke monster attacks, you find a hatch, you end up pushing a button every 108 minutes, then a flash of light and you're skipping through time and just basically just trying to stay alive. Real romantic.
  • Smeed, on 02/11/2009, -0/+3Woot! I get to expand my block list!
  • diggnidy, on 02/12/2009, -0/+3looks like balls to me:

  • crispa1970, on 02/11/2009, -0/+2ur comment sucks.

  • bri719, on 02/11/2009, -0/+2give it 3 weeks. and it will be comprised of 40 unique 'neighborhoods' with prices of plots starting at only 11,880,000 Dinar each
  • PowerInside, on 02/12/2009, -1/+3dugg for perfect use...
  • antdude, on 02/12/2009, -0/+2That looks like shoe print on the top of the heart.
  • the2989, on 02/12/2009, -0/+2That's probably not his number.
  • leif777, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1I'm really disappointed no one spelled out the number...
  • PixelPusher74, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Bitter much?
  • the2989, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Is he thinking about ***** or a ballsack?
  • PowerInside, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1what do you expect? people like you on digg??
  • jasoninoakland, on 02/11/2009, -0/+1The shape of the island aside, you could do worse for a beach vacation than Croatia (anywhere on the Dalmatian coast). It's gorgeous there.
  • bri719, on 02/11/2009, -0/+1kind of like a vagina. especially a whale's vagina
  • bri719, on 02/11/2009, -1/+2Pretty ugly heart.

    <emo
  • DrummerAndrew, on 02/11/2009, -0/+1"The island is located in Zadarski Kanal between Zadar and the Island of Pasman." Wait, where?
  • Yage2006, on 02/13/2009, -1/+2telegraph.co.uk = Autoburied
  • zzak15, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1kaaa zing!
  • PowerInside, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1More like perfect ***** complete with nipples... ^_^
  • BTime, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1I'd rather celebrate with her heart-shaped box.
  • Kakumeikeahi, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1I bet a strong storm would wipe out everything on that island, it's only a matter of time.
  • avianeddy, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1except there's nothing ON it but rocks and dirt and tourists' GARBAGE
  • Phearce, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1Link or it didn't happen: http://www.queenslandholidays.com.au/destinations/ ...
  • freshyill, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1It's at the top of the Billboard island charts for pop and adult contemporary islands, duh.
  • antdude, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1Medicamusic: How is it emo?
  • Medicamusic, on 02/13/2009, -1/+2how emo
  • Jareth86, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1Yes, because if your girlfriend wanted to take you away on an island vacation, that would be so unhip. What a horrifying thought.
  • ukdave, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1The Telegraph suck, they got this idea from here: http://www.freedating.co.uk/articles/gigantic-hear ... a 10 times better article. Where is the link to FreeDating.co.uk
  • realunderdog, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1I wasn't sure about the island until I read your report.

    Now I have to go there.
