- macattak420, on 10/02/2008, -3/+169did anyone else see that house in every other picture... i think it might be photoshopped but thats just a hunch
- dafragsta, on 10/03/2008, -1/+138Now he's Optimus Sub-Prime.
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -2/+111that's no house - after the mortgage crisis, optimus prime found a disguise he could really be ignored in
- fwertz, on 10/03/2008, -8/+107Misleading thumbnail.
- GamingForever, on 10/02/2008, -9/+72I hate slideshows...
- SteelChicken, on 10/03/2008, -4/+58newspapers trying to catch up to the photochop meme I guess
- fakesinatra, on 10/03/2008, -14/+68Buried for being lame .
- SilentRamble42, on 10/03/2008, -1/+45Dugg for first picture. Buried for lame photoshopped pictures. Re-dugg for Kang and Kodos.
- AdeleMor, on 10/02/2008, -1/+37Somebody got super-lucky.
- purplesawdust, on 10/02/2008, -2/+31YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T KNOW?!
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -3/+32Win.
- Kn1ghtmare, on 10/03/2008, -3/+25It's not photoshopped, the house was recently damaged in a storm and they had to rebuild it from the ground up. It was built to withstand a cat5 hurricane. While it looks untouched, it actually has extensive structural damage and is unlivable.
- theman8631, on 10/03/2008, -1/+22WTH? How is this digg worthy let alone Houston Press worthy?
"Hey look boss I photoshopped houses in other places a house wouldn't be."
"***** Incredible! Can you make that a story?"
"...No..."
"Do it anyway. Make sure its one of those ***** slideshows too."
"Yes sir." - DeskFlyer, on 10/03/2008, -2/+23I hate hitting my hand repeatedly with a hammer so I don't do it.
- pitchblack16, on 10/03/2008, -1/+21definitely wanna know what kind of material was used to build that thing
- VIJoe, on 10/03/2008, -0/+19Yeah, super lucky. Would you rather have an insurance check that allows you to build anywhere or be that guy. He's looking forward to five years of construction in every direction.
- MyNameIsGusto, on 10/03/2008, -2/+18Luck has nothing to do with it. He designed the house to withstand hurricane wind levels.
- Clancycoop, on 10/03/2008, -0/+16Did you click on the rest of the slides?
- mkriss5681, on 10/03/2008, -0/+14Obviously this house was built with Rigel VII technology. Silly humans.
- zyl0x, on 10/03/2008, -3/+17***** SLIDESHOWS
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -2/+15The most slow loading slide-show..ever.
- kplo, on 04/01/2009, -2/+15the house is in there. it's just tough to see that small. it's what came up when i submitted.
- chrissku, on 10/03/2008, -2/+14It's not photoshopped. I watched an interview on CNN with the owner. She said despite the appearance that the house house survived it was completely flooded and completely unsalvagable. It will be torn down she said.
- Diggity75, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11That's it! You have succeeded in saving this submission from being a -complete- waste of time. I don't need the five minutes back I wasted loading each photo, nor the hope wasted on the possibility that some part of the slide show would not suck ass.
I salute thee, sirs! - Volatile36, on 10/03/2008, -1/+12It beats moving.
- jjmac, on 10/03/2008, -1/+11Look, the safest house in the world exists in the same country as the dumbest house in the world.
Yeah they just passed the bailout. - SeventhWard, on 10/03/2008, -2/+12I aint diggin this slow *****.
- flapanthers87, on 10/03/2008, -0/+9Webster's dictionary defines "sarcasm" as:
1: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2 a: a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b: the use or language of sarcasm
I think option two works here. - Vindexus, on 10/03/2008, -2/+10No! NO! ***** YOU! ***** you and ***** your website and ***** your slideshow! Put this ***** on one page!
- dasamps, on 10/03/2008, -2/+9zing
- tonaros, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8Buried: OK, This is Lame.
- mr3looc, on 10/03/2008, -3/+10How do you know that?
- NoData, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8We've had slide shows from the Houston Press on digg before. Last popular one was about supposedly hot chicks at music festivals. The site is always mind-numbingly slow and the content mind-numbingly lame.
- inigomntoya, on 10/03/2008, -0/+6@ Volatile36 - Yeah, just think about moving out of a place completely obliterated by a hurricane and boxing up all of your belongings...
Wait a minute... - makkaveli19, on 10/03/2008, -7/+13don't blame me, i voted for kodos.

- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+6To me, haunted, it looks.
- divinediva, on 10/03/2008, -2/+8Haunted - It looks to me..
- AuburnTigers, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5They have names you know...they are not just pieces of meat!
- dibbkd, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5It's Chuck Norris's house.
- compgeek, on 10/03/2008, -2/+7Wow slideshow=LAME!!!!!
buried - fwertz, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5Hi, this Is Fwertz from a few comments down about the misleading thumbnail. I just want to thank you for getting more Diggs than me with your obviously way better joke. Please feel free to have sex with my mother.
- slimkevi, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5I, for one, am pissed at what my eyes just saw
- tnoy, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4Seriously, does nobody realize how many people do not see every article that hits the front page?
- thentro, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4epic
- studdenfadden, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4its been all over the internet and the news for a few weeks now.
- KingGorilla, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4Well don't blame me. I dugg Kodos
- znewick, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4why is this on the front page? this is kinda dumb...
- sharkd, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4When I first saw that thumbnail, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that episode, ‘Tree House of Horror’. But instead it was lame, dark and disturbing like that movie, ‘Police Academy’.
- ac3boy, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4I salute you for that comment! Need to post that one to bash.
