FallenTurtles, on 08/18/2008, -2/+44Dugg for three reasons:

1. To make people mad when this hits front page.
2. Adorableness.
3. The hurdling guinea pigs are quite possibly the most awkward and uncomforting thing I've ever seen.
SushiCW, on 08/18/2008, -0/+32I hate to digg anything with "Awww!" and "Cute" in the title, but these made me laugh.
curseoflou, on 08/18/2008, -0/+26sorry i just can't watch these animals compete. everbody knows they're juiced
Katocan, on 08/18/2008, -3/+21FAKE!!!!
chompapotamus, on 08/18/2008, -1/+19aww i love guinea pigs! i just can't finish one by myself
thatfunman, on 08/17/2008, -0/+15Awww. Poor little Harvey Higginbottom, may the little guinea pig go on to better things..
DigitalHippie73, on 08/18/2008, -2/+12This makes the front page. More proof that there are actually girls on Digg.
Timpala, on 08/18/2008, -1/+10I told my dad that I wanted a guinea pig and he told me that I'd marry a good Irish girl and like it!
xero69, on 08/18/2008, -0/+9I've heard that Richard Gere never misses an event.
inactive, on 08/18/2008, -1/+9I see the Andes mountains of South America is the best place to train.

electricwaffles, on 08/18/2008, -1/+8aww, these are so cute that i wanna feature them in a peruvian festival
wejmahtin, on 08/18/2008, -1/+6That's just a Peruvian playing with his food.
stretta, on 08/18/2008, -0/+5Those Guinea Pigs are obviously not old enough to compete. Rules are rules.
KenshinKitten, on 08/18/2008, -1/+5My Guinea pig is too fat to compete.
PeanutCheeseBar, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4OM NOM NOM NOM
Greengoo, on 08/18/2008, -1/+5This comment has been buried for inaccuracy.
FallenTurtles, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Note to myself... the word is discomforting.
Icetype, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3I was thinking, yeah this is way better-- These are real photos, not photoshops.. Then I got to the line:

"Guinea pigs can be served fried, roasted or in a casserole. "
unfilterthought, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3@_@ ACK!! What madness is this!?
BradOFarrell, on 08/18/2008, -1/+4Cutest. Diplomacy. Ever.
lcaldas, on 08/18/2008, -1/+4I like this one better: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/h ...
PDF84, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Awwwww Animal abuse is sooo cute!
ZeeZee2k, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Call PETA.
daliminator, on 08/18/2008, -1/+3Those actually aren't foils. They're sabers. And for Olympic (and wired-up fencing in general), none of the weapons have points - foils and epees have button tips, and sabers have rounded, curled-back tips.

/fencing nazism
DeFex, on 08/18/2008, -1/+3Hammy hamster would Pwn that fat guinnea pig.
inactive, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Reminds me of this cute pic: http://digg.com/general_sciences/Meet_the_Happy_Ca ...
dvsbstrd, on 08/18/2008, -2/+4...and renowned 'ard-man, Squeakers "Knockout" Thompson, caused outrage four years ago when he not only bit the ear off of his competitor, Jimmy Nibbles, but ate his babies too.
BradOFarrell, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2There's nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't play basket ball.
Winkyboy, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Why are all the competitors naked?
daschupa, on 08/18/2008, -1/+3Ugh fricking marketing, all I can think about are those Blockbuster commercials.
adlep, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Nice!
bosssmiley, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1It's ok. The guinea pigs consented to be in the casserole; they were all volunteers. It was either that, or do more of those bloody Egg credit card commercials.
mediaspree, on 08/18/2008, -3/+4This looks like animal cruelty. Somebody call peta.
Snakeonastaff, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1notice the brown one is winnin over the black one in all pics........obviously fake
nicksauce, on 08/18/2008, -3/+4Photoshopped! The shadows are all wrong
Ecochick, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1BEST USE OF INTERNET EVER. I laughed so hard I actually cried. Wow.
dslartoo, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1These images appear to have been digitally edited with Adobe Photoshop (tm) software. :)

(seriously though, what a cool concept).
mojoe176, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1stupid.. ***** stupid!
3leggedHorse, on 08/18/2008, -1/+2rather than Olympics, these creatures need to be put in their wheels to solve the energy crisis.
Forty hamsters will power a home for a day.
Dobby156, on 08/18/2008, -4/+5so i heard the guineapig that won gold in swimming eats 12000 cals for fruit a day.
SeaICIubber, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1Check out the caption for the Boxing (image 10) Squeakers Thompson not only ate his opponents ear but also his babies.
SeaICIubber, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1Epic!
Thanks for the laughs
microbefox, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1Lol, the arrow is supposed to be on the other side of the bow. Ah well, I guess I can't dock this. It's a fun collection.
4rp4n3t, on 08/18/2008, -1/+2Since when was Digg a reput...oh...wait...

cardinalb, on 08/18/2008, -0/+0No sh*t Sherlock ;-)
affiliatebroker, on 08/18/2008, -2/+2what a load of bollocks! and who gives a f*** about Snooky Pooky and Gertrude Tiddlywinks... Waste of space.. What the hell are they thinking.. I for one, NEVER take them serious after this.. IT seems this page is made, or the session, to get it on digg or something. Crap.
SeafoodSoop, on 08/18/2008, -0/+0You're kidding, right? I don't know what to say other than point out the fact that you must be missing a chromosome.
