Are you serious? - fwc67, on 12/05/2007, -4/+82needs a donut and remote in his hands
- bs0l, on 12/05/2007, -7/+64It is images like these that should be censored. My eyes will burn for eternity.
Dugg. - skews13, on 12/05/2007, -1/+37looks like david has become goliath
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -1/+34He can't see his own penis.
- nVoy, on 12/05/2007, -1/+32This is why we can't have nice things.
- wilem, on 12/05/2007, -1/+24WHY ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF ME!!11
- wrongplanet, on 12/05/2007, -1/+21its from a german advertising campaign. There's also one of Abe Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial. Real link:

- affanjam, on 12/05/2007, -1/+19and "The Thinker" would just be "The Lazy"
- Typhoon2009, on 12/05/2007, -1/+18He should also have a computer next to him, with an e-mail regarding "v|agr4_400mg__BLUEPILL_LARGEPENIS"
- DeathJux, on 12/05/2007, -12/+29Now that Digg has the little preview icons next to the Image submissions now, doesn't that make this somewhat NSFW?
- DeathJux, on 12/05/2007, -2/+17Peenors too.
- turpenine, on 12/05/2007, -1/+16art is nsfw?
- Brutus013, on 12/05/2007, -0/+15No, that isn't irony in the least actually.
- Error601, on 12/05/2007, -10/+24More like if David lived at the time and was well off.
- getrealnow, on 12/05/2007, -0/+14Boobies Are.
- sambapati87, on 12/05/2007, -0/+12yea, don't be a dick
- atomic811, on 12/05/2007, -1/+11Dad??!!
- josho, on 12/05/2007, -7/+16isn't that ironic? david mangled to be fat to fit the picture of american health, followed by a description that fits the picture of american idiocy.
for bonus points, the word 'original' is linked with the href of mailto:http://en.wikipedia.org/.. - Littleedgitt, on 12/05/2007, -0/+8that title was so specific that i have a feeling that you got that email...
- cfuse, on 12/05/2007, -0/+7Well, I've got to have something to jack off to.
- DeathJux, on 12/05/2007, -1/+8You're getting dugg down, but I love the injection of insanity into the rational land of these comments.
- spoodigity, on 12/05/2007, -1/+7Michelangelo is said to still still be trapped in the recesses of the gut flab.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -2/+8Robbers have attempted to taking the statue. All have failed to move it by even an inch.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -2/+7Actually I think he meant that he doesn't know if it is actually a sculpture... Not if that IS the original...
- tehknotte, on 12/05/2007, -1/+5now we can watch you get dugg up by pizza all day people.
- spudnic, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4Rational? Guess you don't read comments on political stories very often. Hell, thinking about it any stories... someone will work out a way to start talking about Ron Paul or George Bush or 9/11 conspiricy theories on this very page, just you watch.
- ralphie81, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4Wow, that's a little harsh.
- Tyrghast, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4i just wasted a minute of my life reading sabrinaheaven's pearls of nutcaseness...
- inspecality, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4and from having seen quite a few shops in my time
- georgetds, on 12/05/2007, -2/+5Because, you know, everyone back in the time that David was carved looked like that. Funny picture all the same, but the "perfect" image that was carved in David is still what we tend to think of being perfect today, too. Photoshopping is the correct idea, just like David was carve to be perfect, we photoshop our models to look more perfect.
- corkster, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Solution = don't browse digg at work
- r00tus3r, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Seriously, obesity really is getting out of hand, and the statistics clearly show what the picture is trying to say.
- solid12345, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3It is also a cultural myth that men prefer skin and bones women like Paris Hilton with no hips, no ass, and no *****. Why does the fashion industry keep pushing their idea of beauty on us? Most men want normal healthy women with curves.
- HanSolo69, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3I know lots of people named David who live in the USA. I don't get it.
- joot2112, on 12/05/2007, -1/+4No, actually the average weight of Americans continues to increase, especially among children. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hestats ...
The excitement is about the deaths it causes, and the cost of treating all these obese people for their heart attacks, vascular disease, diabetes, and diabetes complications! - capiCrimm, on 12/05/2007, -3/+6NERO BURNED DOWN ROME. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!
- karlhouser, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Holy craaaap shes on this comment too.
And to SH, who seems to be pretty consistantly monitering us as we talk about her, its not about being wrong, dont ask me to tell you you are, I can't verify or dispute your claims, its about being friggin crazy. Its about the number of responses you gave to yourself. Its about your passion for such an inane subject on a digg page about something completely different from what you're talking about.
Anyway, the past stopped existing shortly after it started, nothing historical can really be proven. Writers can lie, sculpters can lie, and we werent there.
DEEMED INARGUABLE.
(But seriously- that chick is crazy, huh?) - friend18, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Apparently, not only would he be obese, he would also suffer from micropenis.
- stormgren, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Those stats are based on BMI?
So the percent fat people includes every single athlete in the country as well.
(I have a BMI of around 27. I weigh 150 pounds, have a resting pulse of 50 and less than 10% body fat. BMI is complete *****.) - cfuse, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Technically yes, but is it too much to ask for people just to man up and deal with it? People are such sissypants these days.
- dvsbastard, on 12/05/2007, -2/+5Nah, the thinker would be replaced with a sheep... :P
- Tyrghast, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3not really since, due to the lack of solid facts, all your statements are opinion, your attitude reflects that you believe, without question, that you are correct on everything you say, and anyone who says otherwise must be below your intelligence quotient.
- lagrange, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2How would also be a half negro half mexican homosexual.
Gross. - sw33tsarin, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Since when did 30% become the "Average" or "Median?"
- epuiatti, on 12/05/2007, -1/+3No ***** Sherlock!
- sw33tsarin, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Sabrina, I think people just don't want to waste time on you. That should be pretty obvious. And the blanket statement that "Americans are fat" is absolutely retarded. Last I checked I'm in excellent shape. And the "all Americans are fat AND lazy" fallacy gets thrown out the window when you not only look at what I do in terms of physical activity, but what my family and friends do as well. Perpetuating those stereotypes is like me saying all Brits have horrible teeth, or every Frenchman is a smelly cheese-eating surrender-monkey. Or every woman that lives in Beverly Hills, CA is a vapid, Bleach-Blonde whore trying to get her acting career of the ground with hardcore internet porn. See, all negative cliches that in no way reflect upon that specific population as a whole. Grow up.
- euth, on 12/05/2007, -3/+5This is an advertisement for the German Olympic Sport Federation. Had the image not been cropped, its origins would have been obvious.
Here's the full image: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/german_olympi ...
From the same campaign, here's an equally clever Abe Lincoln ad: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/german_olympi ... - solid12345, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Actually this is more realistic as a human being period. How many guys you think were chiseled like David in ancient Israel or even renaissance Rome for that matter?
