captpisspants, on 08/24/2008, -5/+78Buried, for jumping on the bandwagon poorly and too late.
SRSco, on 08/24/2008, -4/+54This is so horribly unfunny and uninteresting.
Psygnosis, on 08/24/2008, -3/+30Ugly art, poorly executed joke, dated subject
coloneltcb, on 08/24/2008, -0/+21Hey got any Monica Lewinsky comics or Viagra jokes?
ch1pm0nk, on 08/23/2008, -7/+284/10 mildy funny, but i think by now, this is kind of a drug out subject to make comics about
Jhiaxuz, on 08/24/2008, -0/+12A front page comic on Digg is usually just a bunch of scribbles with text.

And not funny.
TNicholson, on 08/24/2008, -0/+12Sucks. A lot.

completerobot, on 08/24/2008, -0/+11I've never understood why so many comics use that terrible sort of art style.
TheEclipse, on 08/24/2008, -0/+8What about this Y2K thing I've been hearin' so much about.
rgremill, on 08/24/2008, -1/+8In Internet time, I guess a week is considered "drug out".
adikt, on 08/24/2008, -0/+5dragged out, i believe is the correct term. I'm not the spelling Nazi, I just think when you are talking about the Olympics and drugs, one must be cautious of the intended meaning.
Wrangler76, on 08/24/2008, -0/+4Why didn't Japan win then? :)
deathlyhallows, on 08/24/2008, -1/+5"She" looks more like a "He".
EvolvingOne, on 08/24/2008, -0/+4This comic was as unoriginal as this comment.
terracottapai, on 08/24/2008, -0/+4And the drawing style is *****.
Ajjah, on 08/24/2008, -0/+3Monica went up to the pharmacist and stated, "I need to buy condoms."

The pharmacist looked up and asked, "Shall I put it on your bill?"

"No, thanks," Monica responded. "I prefer to put them on him myself."
tsitneics, on 08/24/2008, -4/+6That's an ugly child they have.
SRSco, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2There's a reason webcomics (the ones Digg love) are only published on the web. They aren't funny (except for a few XKCDs, but all the ripoff XKCDs are horribly lame).
notzak, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2Why are they looking at her so intently? It's not like the parent is having her drive a truck or anything. That would've been vaguely more amusing. Standing does not require you to be old.
lisaawesome, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2Dear lord I hope you aren't a native English speaker.
Authustian, on 08/24/2008, -2/+4I agree, but this in the internet, not a book.
ramow, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2wtf!
staticoranges, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2*dated article.
adikt, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1And to correct my own post, the correct term would be grammar Nazi.
seraph582, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1I wouldn't say dated as much as overused.
SubjectiveC, on 08/24/2008, -1/+2With the birth of the internet, I think "Comics" should be renamed to "Panels" to more accurately describe their content.
4rp4n3t, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1Well Sherlock, the problem is that the rules state that Olympic gymnasts must be at least 16 years of age.
Kentdigg, on 08/24/2008, -3/+4Of course it's American.
007kz, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1Wow. I was expecting something funny and clever.
This is worse than Marmaduke, and that's saying something.
IHaveCrayons, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1He... Kexin?

Sorry, the connection just seemed to be appropriate...
fuzzybeard, on 08/24/2008, -1/+2Of course the Chinese fibbed about how old their kids were; cheating for national glory is as old as the Games themselves!
crossmr, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1because it is very forgiving.. you can ***** it up and not have it really look any worse..
SRSco, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1Too clever? Is that why I said some of them were funny? Don't tell me ALL of them are funny. Because they arent.
cPainplus3, on 08/24/2008, -3/+3im sorry, but i just dont get it.
whats the big ****ing deal with the chinese athelets age?
if she can get a gold metal at such a young age, then good for her.
BestJaxx, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1Why do you cut up Pedobear?
acegi, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1oh shi-
johndajap56, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1So in chinese years are all the US gymnast legally bonable? lol
mcberg182, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1not all of them are supposed to be funny anyways
WoollyMittens, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1Exactly and if they can make tennis shoes as young as 8, then so much the better. Right?

Chinese athletes are picked and reared by the state. They train for getting olympic gold. That is all they do, ever. Kids should be kids, not sports-robots.
inactive, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1first time i saw that i thought it said "instant trim shot" and thought you should at least write NSFW...
NavajoJoe, on 09/23/2008, -0/+0Don't worry, I'm sure she can get all her gear from http://www.foxysfitnessfashions.com
WoollyMittens, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1You might consider that XKCD is just a little bit too clever for you.

Did I do it write?!
PabloMac, on 08/24/2008, -2/+1What's that "Y2K" thing I used to hear about?
BlueLove775, on 08/24/2008, -4/+3Old style comic drawings are always great in my books.
LoJack, on 08/24/2008, -7/+5Sour grape. Shameless jealousy.
smackcalvin, on 08/24/2008, -3/+0The girls are a handicap thats why short girls excel in gymnastics.
Ajjah, on 08/24/2008, -4/+1xkcd.com
baldboy7, on 08/24/2008, -6/+3chinese gymnast years = dog years
