- adamrgolf, on 12/14/2007, -1/+111why are they all looking at 14?
edit: oh. *facepalm* - Bawk, on 12/14/2007, -2/+72Diversity? I don't know what you're talking about. There are clearly both men with beards and men without them. How much more diversity do you need?
- ScottJG, on 12/14/2007, -4/+64I think 14 just farted.
- HaSatan, on 12/14/2007, -0/+56Worst Superhero name ever.
- pyro789x, on 12/14/2007, -0/+41Comment dugg because I did the exact same thing. =p
- cbartlett, on 12/14/2007, -2/+40For those that are as dense as me and don't want to take 5 minutes of staring to figure it out:
They are all looking at today's date. - Ghoztt, on 12/14/2007, -9/+33I see white people.

-well.. - 07041976, on 12/14/2007, -4/+24Nobody would have called racism if they were all black or Asian.

All of the "models" are various homogeneous friends of mine who happened to find themselves near my garage between April-July 2007. Granted, most were lured with beer, food, lodging, or in one case...meat. - Shawn4168, on 12/14/2007, -2/+1927's asian. Good enough for you?
- ColonelJessup, on 12/14/2007, -1/+16I want to ***** Wednesday..............
- fusuke31, on 12/14/2007, -21/+35Pretty neat. Who knew that a group of 41 people had the time to coordinate and pose everyday for a pointless calendar shot.
Also, would a little diversity be asking too much? - wakarusensei, on 12/14/2007, -4/+18love how people point racism out soon as they don't see minorities. Maybe black people were asked to do it and they said no cause they would look just as stupid as these people in the calendar. Look at it like that.
- tidu, on 12/14/2007, -0/+10I'd like an old, old wooden ship from the Civil War era thrown in there.
- dewyjuhl, on 12/14/2007, -2/+12since when is the absence of minorities racist?
The people that made this picture just got together and made this really cool thing. Its not like when they were first planning it out they were like
"okay lets make a human calender, and all the people of each day will be looking at the person who is todays date. Oh yeah but lets not let any black people be in the picture because they'll ***** it up." - mesysg, on 12/14/2007, -0/+10It would have been cool to see the people that posed for Christmas Eve and Christmas day dressed up in Holiday clothing. Still an excellent idea!
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -1/+10he can tell you the date with alarming clarity!!
- cambob76, on 12/14/2007, -3/+12Oh yes, we need more races represented or else we're doing a disservice to humanity... maybe the guy lives/works where Caucasians outnumber everyone else by a large margin. So he should seek out other races just to please overly sensitive racial crusaders? An artificial representation of racial distribution in a population is more wrong than the opposite because it is artificial and panders to political correctness (which is worst enemy of artistic expression and free speech). So give it a rest. If they were wearing swastikas, you might have a point.
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -2/+10I for one welcome... don't give a ***** what color the people in the calendar are.
- bogatash, on 12/14/2007, -3/+10All Mac Users

- jazzboyrules, on 12/14/2007, -1/+8 ...
- jazzboyrules, on 12/14/2007, -1/+7Poor 21.
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -0/+6I think 15 may fart at midnight.
- amneosis, on 12/14/2007, -1/+727 might be asian, we'll know in 13 days.
- apec766, on 12/14/2007, -1/+7Mmmm meat.
- bakagaigin, on 12/14/2007, -0/+6Not everything has to be web 2.0 user-oriented stuff!
- Mcnostril, on 12/14/2007, -1/+6Thank you!!
- CapitalIdea, on 12/14/2007, -0/+5How come it gives you like 5 seconds to set your timezone?
- zephc, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4This reminds me of the Hipster Bingo board: http://www.catbirdseat.org/catbirdseat/bingo.html
- AlexPod, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4note to self: drink a cup of coffee before commenting on digg
- Asianwaste, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4December 31st should be with a party hat and wine bottle. Followed by January first of someone clearly hung over.
- Asianwaste, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4It's a white Christmas this year.
- chiefbandit2200, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4I'd ***** Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday
- idc5, on 12/14/2007, -1/+5reminds me of the Brady bunch
- DeadFox1, on 12/15/2007, -0/+3Wednesday is humpday. good choice.
- kaniz, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Perhaps the creator does not know/have friends of a very diverse background? *gasp* Not everyones circle of friends looks like a united colors of benetton advertisement.
One thing to lure friends over to do this for you, its another thing to kidnap some random ethnic person off the street for the sake of being "diverse". - Cenobite, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Think about it this way: the calendar was made in Switzerland.
- MiDri, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3From the sites main page:
In early 2002, I set off to ride my bicycle around the continent of Australia. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere I was thinking about a lot of random things at once. Whatever day this was, I happened to be thinking about computers and a girl. Specifically, about the then-upcoming humanclock.com redesign and Marcia Brady. Where should I put the calendar on the clock site? What square did Marcia Brady occupy during the start of The Brady Bunch? Thoughts of "gridded people" and calendars meshed into one. Although I wrote most of the code in 2003, it still took another four years and several practice attempts to finish the Human Calendar.
Where the ***** do you people get your spare time/money? I wish I had time to ride a bike around Australia! - MiDri, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Lies! LIES I SAY! You're going to tell me next that the pictures are not taken every time I visit the page!
- MiDri, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Oh for god sake, die.
This is a guys art project. He's working with what he's ***** got. - adraft, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Holy ***** it took me a long while to realize that they were all looking at the current day, making this infinitely more cool. I just assumed the guy on 14 was the creator or something. Just goes to show what exam week does to the brain.
- MiDri, on 12/14/2007, -1/+4Exactly, I don't have any black friends! Not because I don't know any black people, but because I have no friends!
- gordeaoux, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2You just got dumped, didnt' you?
- trevah, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3Just in case you forget your birthday?
- iticu, on 12/14/2007, -2/+4Really? I saw people.
Wait, being black DOES matter now? They're just people. - apec766, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3You would be wrong.
- DeadFox1, on 12/15/2007, -1/+2LOOK at #14... he is mad, now that 15 has the glory!
- antdude, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1No, the dog!
