    • arcooke, on 04/22/2008, -22/+18What is it lately with stupid first comments... and people digging them up..?

    • dreamslaughter, on 04/22/2008, -13/+7This photo looks shopped to me.. look at the similarities with the back males and females. Just doesnt look right...
      • alexforcefive, on 04/22/2008, -1/+22they're all lions!
        • Reziarfg, on 04/22/2008, -2/+17Are you saying all lions look the same to you?
          • KibibyteBrain, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Lion racism. :( We shall overcome.
        • shade45, on 04/22/2008, -1/+8A cant believe theres still people with this mentality towards lions still out there!
      • robeph, on 04/22/2008, -1/+9Me too, as an expert in all things photoshop, I can see the ways the pixels don't correctly line up, and someone is misusing alpha transparencies, tsk tsk... we'll avoid discussing your misapplication of guassian blur (who using anything over 10pt on a low opacity layer?) *sniffles* *pushes glasses up* hurr hurr hurr....
        • RealJimShady, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1Pixels? Alpha transparency? Guassian blur? There are 7 alpha-males in one pride, isn't that glaringly obvious?
      • KB925902, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1yep, clearly a photoshop. weird dimensions, there are obvious cloned parts, etc. only thing is i saw nothing in the exif data. that's easily cleared though.
    • Player1, on 04/22/2008, -3/+1Sir, I hate you.
  • Wkall, on 04/22/2008, -91/+6can't be real. it's a fake
    • DrywallThief, on 04/22/2008, -3/+46Yeah, I've seen white snow pixels in my lifetime and those white snow pixels definitely look fake.
    • alpharaptor, on 04/22/2008, -1/+32i think this happened at a place called a "zoo", i heard they keep exotic animals from other regions of the world and charge a modest fee to view them at a distance.
      • theycallmebubba, on 04/22/2008, -17/+4I think this happened at a place called 'Photoshop'. I heard they modify photos there and make things look real that aren't...
      • rspeed, on 04/22/2008, -0/+7Zoo? What is this devilry you speak of!?
    • Axxion, on 04/22/2008, -11/+5Wow, look at those photoshop skills, able to put all those lions huddled together and make trees and snow and everything, it almost looks........looks...........ummmmm........REAL!
      • krisscofield, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4You sure it's not a zoo?
        • ayakitsune, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1It's Photoshopped. Some of the heads further back are duplicates, and the depth of the space is too short for that many lions to fit in it.
    • iainc, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Could be a zoo or safari park shot. I mean Longleat (UK) has Lions *and* Snow.
    • ssn697, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Wildlife Safari in Southern Oregon just had 6 inches of snow two days ago. Could very easily be a pic from there.
  • tomazkovacic, on 04/22/2008, -50/+442IM IN UR MONTANA ... MELTIN UR SNOW W/ MAH BODHE HEAT!
    • woofers07, on 04/22/2008, -4/+23you've never been to Montana have you?
    • hoovcluck, on 04/22/2008, -12/+5Please hurry! Its frickin freezing here mr bigglesworth!

    • littlejon82, on 04/22/2008, -11/+2OMG WE HAVE LIONS IN MONTANA!?! *****, guess I'll have to go buy another gun with the bush money I just got in the mail
    • TracerMan, on 04/22/2008, -6/+1o rly?
    • SkinnerBox, on 04/22/2008, -6/+3This whole meme is so not funny.
    • cygnus2112, on 04/22/2008, -5/+2Hannah?
  • MTessa, on 04/22/2008, -8/+26Are these guys in a zoo or wildlife park? There is a road and a few building in the back. Crazy pic no matter.
    • ufia, on 04/22/2008, -1/+68You see a road and a few buildings in that pic? Global warming is a hell of a drug.
      • shuskins, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Yeah not finding any type of road, not to mention buildings unless trees count. He must be in the thick of global warming.....
    • fxu1989, on 04/22/2008, -3/+8Why are there so many male lions ? ... I thought it was one lion, many lionesses per pack.
    • MadEnvoy, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4I see a Leprechaun!
    • jaxcs, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1While this may be taken in a zoo. I don't see a road or buildings. Mind pointing them out?
      • gummih, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I think he's talking about the line sloping down from left to right. See the bushes above the lions heads? Below them is a line in the snow running through the picture which might be a path or a road. The "buildings" are probably the things to the upper right. They look kind of strange for trees at least.
  • dinobot, on 04/22/2008, -9/+334Jesus christ! It's a bunch of lions! Get in the car!
  • Conway, on 04/22/2008, -7/+256Who in their right mind snuck up them to take that picture?!?!
    • puter, on 04/22/2008, -1/+92you don't have to be very sneaky if you have a big lense.
    • specialK16, on 04/22/2008, -5/+5Who in their right mind snuck up them to take that picture?!?!
    • GuacamoleSan, on 04/22/2008, -6/+4Steve Irwin lives...
    • Seabaka, on 04/22/2008, -4/+2Who in there right mind snucked up them to take that picture?!?!
    • ThankTheCheese, on 04/22/2008, -0/+9Imagine if you forgot to turn off the flash.
    • theclashrocker, on 04/22/2008, -1/+0A camera with really really good zoom?
    • b0gus2008, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1I think it was Chuck Norris.
  • heypetray, on 04/22/2008, -22/+1Reminds me of an old thread:
    http://digg.com/environment/Global_Warming_Polar_B ...
  • Sucka27, on 04/22/2008, -8/+159Looks like kind of a sausage fest, I see 5 males at least.
    • GunDownCCL, on 04/22/2008, -12/+2I believe you mean orgy.
    • mecharabbit, on 04/22/2008, -4/+9Apparently, community rivalries aren't as important as staying warm. Maybe that's why nations in colder climates have lower crime rates?
    • mrmount, on 04/22/2008, -5/+1I bet all those sausages are frozen! No use for the ladies!
    • mrcabnit, on 04/22/2008, -3/+1Mmmm, lion sausage.
      • adadadada, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4... not as delicious as it sounds
        • remccain, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Much better than spotted owl sausage tho.
    • rentmitchum, on 04/22/2008, -7/+2Can't we all make a decision to stop saying "sausage fest"? It's horrible. It's like saying you're gopher-holin it when you gotta ***** really bad. I mean, that's just annoying.

    • KingGorilla, on 04/22/2008, -0/+46It's called gay pride
      • MixMastaKooz, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3I really didn't want to see what you did there...unfortunately, I did....
      • kevyn, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4you win the comment thread
      • lunacraz, on 04/22/2008, -2/+0LAWL PUNZ

        should be "a gay pride"
    • dyounkin, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1and 4 females, i believe
    • Sharky35, on 04/22/2008, -2/+2That pic was taken at Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Reserve
  • killbert24, on 04/22/2008, -29/+4So global warming caused the lions to have to live in global cooling conditions? Makes sense.
  • mentallyinhell, on 04/22/2008, -32/+105That's a lot of potential coats...
    • ShempRider, on 04/22/2008, -0/+20that was wrong but it gets a check in the win column.
    • obzinator, on 04/22/2008, -4/+29Some men hunt for sport,
      Others hunt for food,
      The only thing I'm hunting for,
      Is an outfit that looks good...

      See my vest, see my vest,
      Made from real gorilla chest,
      Feel this sweater, there's no better,
      Than authentic Irish setter.

      See this hat, 'twas my cat,
      My evening wear - vampire bat,
      These white slippers are albino
      African endangered rhino.

      Grizzly bear underwear,
      Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
      Beret of poodle, on my noodle
      It shall rest,

      Try my red robin suit,
      It comes one breast or two,
      See my vest, see my vest,
      See my vest.

      Like my loafers? Former gophers -
      It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
      But a greyhound fur tuxedo
      Would be best,

      So let's prepare these dogs,

      Kill two for matching clogs,

      See my vest, see my vest,
      Oh please, won't you see my vest.
      • kidcodea, on 04/22/2008, -11/+3OH PLEASE, STFU
      • melonhedd, on 04/22/2008, -1/+7you see, it's funny because it was on the simpsons.
      • SilverBack101, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Great...now I have that in my head! :D
      • DemDude, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Haha, you totally beat me to it.
        By 11 hours... =(
    • capnhapnscratch, on 04/22/2008, -3/+3I smiled deviously upon reading this comment.
    • mutt, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1nice.
    • Rekzai, on 04/22/2008, -1/+9*looks at you*. That's a lot of potential oxygen....
    • CompactHayman, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2I give my digg to ShempRider.
  • bluechips23, on 04/22/2008, -3/+44So, who's gonna crawl up towards those lions and scare them with a toilet paper?

    /Referring to this video (not rick roll) - http://youtube.com/watch?v=WCfDiPIydZ0
    • synystar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8That was better than the submission. It's probably been on Digg before but I'm glad you posted it. There were a few classic lines from the dialogue but "For you folks back at home...don't try this." made me laugh out loud. As opposed to "lol".

      Kinda sucks that it's necessary to say not rick roll.
    • Bukowsky, on 04/22/2008, -1/+30Isn't it sad that we now have to put the RickRoll'd disclaimer on any YouTube link to related vid's?
    • colonelxc, on 04/22/2008, -2/+7It says it isn't a rickroll... but I still can't click on it.
    • Asianwaste, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Bluto can't take on Popeye in a fist fight, what makes him think he can take on a lion?
    • PubStomp, on 04/22/2008, -2/+2damn i was expecting a rick roll
    • resevil83, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2This guy has major balls! Thx for the good vid. I would NEVER get that close to a lion without a gun.
    • evodude, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Proving once and for all that all kitties like string. It's just that big kitties need big string. He just didn't want to roll around with it because of the camera. Too self conscious. Take that away, and he totally would have been acting like a little cub.
    • Epik, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2The guy crawls toward lions and when it gets close to him, he decides to lie down. What!
    • synystar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Run doesn't work because you are now frightened prey. Attack doesn't work because the lion is much more likely to kill you with it's claws than you would be to kill it with a roll of toilet paper. Act like a tree might work but I'd be worried. Lying there like a dumbass hoping lion does not kill you apparently works. I'm going with option four.
  • Newedge14, on 04/22/2008, -1/+19I have a feeling this came from the Canadian Safari..
    http://www.torontoplace.com/attractions/africanlio ...
    • playmusic, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I have a feeling you're correct.
    • unfinite, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1If it is in Canada, the picture definitely wasn't taken in recently. I'm sweating buckets here.
      EXIF data says it was taken January 22nd
  • JusticeFriend, on 04/22/2008, -20/+3SHOPPED!!
    • synystar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8Yes...that. Because someone had several hours to kill and thought "Why not a bunch of lions cuddling in the snow, surely no one's ever done that before." If it is a shoop I wanna see more.
  • whoreable, on 04/22/2008, -3/+199They look so warm and cuddly. It is clearly a trap.
    • synystar, on 04/22/2008, -3/+6"...get an axe!"

    • theclashrocker, on 04/22/2008, -2/+3Mountain lions live on mountains. Mountains get snow on them. It's technically called climate change. Shifting climate changes

    Hey, let's go cheese!
    • greenlight2001, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1No thanks, but feel free yourself...
  • DiggCommando, on 04/22/2008, -29/+42I, for one, am sick of all these articles having to do with something cold making reference to global warming (and poking fun at the concept) as if it meant temperature increases across the board. I know this is tongue in cheek but you are just helping to perpetuate that misguided myth.
    • kelly, on 04/22/2008, -30/+13We're poking fun because it ***IS*** a myth... at least the notion that the warming is a product of man.
      • DiggCommando, on 04/22/2008, -8/+3But I did not say that did I? Pay attention next time. You have to understand the problem if you want to come up with solutions, regardless of its CAUSE.
      • archiesteel, on 04/22/2008, -9/+12More evidence points to the fact that it is not a myth than the other way around. But please, keep your head in the sand...er, snow.
      • HiKevinRose, on 04/22/2008, -8/+8Which is why there is 42% more CO2 in the air than there was in 1850. Right. That has nothing to do with big industry and factories and cars are deforestation whatsoever. Go back to public school.
        • TrancePhreak, on 04/22/2008, -8/+4Yeah, it's not like volcanoes or natural fires caused any CO2! It was all man's fault.
        • chesstwin, on 04/22/2008, -4/+2LOL Deforestation............... Like thats happening
      • Willravel, on 04/22/2008, -8/+4It must be amazing to ignore evidence. Do you also believe the Earth is the center of the universe? Or maybe you think that the sky is a blanket with holes in it. And the sun is moved across the sky by Helios and his amazing chariot.
    • Cattedge, on 04/22/2008, -6/+10Global warming means the development of more extreme weather, not just warmer weather. With higher temperatures, there is more energy to cause larger storms, stronger winds, and more dynamic changes. People are not making fun of global warming, they are giving these snowy pics as an example of very severe weather.
      • nyx210, on 04/22/2008, -8/+5Then why in the flying ***** is it called global WARMING?!
        • IllBeBack, on 04/22/2008, -6/+10Because that is a misnomer created for simpletons such as yourself. The correct term is Global Climate Change. I know that there are more syllables, but you might be able to grasp it given enough repetition and time.
          • kidcodea, on 04/22/2008, -9/+4SO U MEAN CLIMATE WAS CONSTANT BEFORE AND NOW ITS CHANGING?
          • melonhedd, on 04/22/2008, -8/+3"Climate change" only entered popular use in the last five years, once it because obvious that global warming was a sham.
          • fultron89, on 04/22/2008, -2/+4I seem to remember a rather abrupt climate shift a while back that we like to call the ice age...
            so no, the climate is not constant, and what we're seeing now is simply one of earth's many cycles
        • DarkNeutron, on 04/22/2008, -4/+1Because it relates to an increase in the global average temperature. The key word in this case is "average".

          If one part of the world cools down slightly, and another warms dramatically (as the arctic is doing), you still get global warming but a locally cooler climate.

          IPCC AR4, synthesis report, summary for policy makers (page 2):

          "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is
          now evident from observations of increases in global
          average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting
          of snow and ice and rising global average sea level
          (Figure SPM.1). {1.1}"

        • tracywood, on 04/22/2008, -3/+3"summary for policy makers"

          I guess you're too thick to understand why it would have been better for your cause to omit that part. Its not written by scientists, it's written BY politicians FOR politicians.

          Get a clue...
      • innocentsinner, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3You're right about the first part but not the second. Given the headline, it's pretty obvious this was meant as a sarcastic comment -against- global warming being true.
      • thedinomeister, on 04/22/2008, -5/+4FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS ***** HOLY!!!!!!!!!
        WARM TEMPERATURES DO NOT MAKE WEATHER-- STORMS--OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN JUST WARM TEMPERATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        FOR THEIR TO BE GREATER STORMS, MASSIVE, AND DAMAGING HURRICANES YOU NEED LARGER GRADIENTS!!!!!!!!!! AS WARMING TAKES PLACE THE GRADIENTS GET SMALLER AND THEREFORE LESS SIGINIFICANT/WEAKER STORMS.

        Sorry for the caps lock but how many ***** times do people have to hear this before they understand it?
        • witte, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1They are retarded, it's maddening. Show a globalwarmingist a chart where CO2 was 2500ppmv just 5mya, and they complain 'your mother isn't a climate scientist and therefore the chart can't exist'
    • thedragon4453, on 04/22/2008, -2/+10I live in Oregon and the last week it snowed/hailed where I live for a day or two. For the last week I've been hearing people say how global warming can't exist because its snowing in April.

      • mikusjay, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I've been having that same problem. I live in Eugene [oregon] and people have been saying the same thing.
      • playmusic, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Yeah I know what you mean! I know gravity don't exist because I saw one of them hot air balloons floatin' in the air! Damn elitist scientists (especially Newton) for trying to push their pro gravity propaganda on us!
    • mutt, on 04/22/2008, -11/+6the earth goes through natural heating and cooling cycles. it has more to do with the sun than us humans.
      • DarkNeutron, on 04/22/2008, -1/+5Wrong.

        IPCC AR4, synthesis report, summary for policy makers (page 5):

        "Global atmospheric concentrations of CO2, methane
        (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have increased markedly
        as a result of human activities since 1750 and now far
        exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores
        spanning many thousands of years. {2.2}"

        "Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures
        since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the
        observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations.
        7 It is likely that there has been significant anthropogenic
        warming over the past 50 years averaged over
        each continent (except Antarctica) (Figure SPM.4). {2.4}"

        • fultron89, on 04/22/2008, -5/+3yeah most of OBSERVED increase..
          modern science has only been around that long. now that we're seeing things in a scientific state, we're quick to label them the end of the world, when its quite possible that they were already there, it was just that our knowledge of how the earth worked hadn't (and still doesn't) extended past what we can beat our massive brains into.
    • tracywood, on 04/22/2008, -5/+3at least you admit agw is a myth
    • misconstrued, on 04/22/2008, -2/+1Isn't it you that's perpetuating a misguided myth...?
    • LargeTrout, on 04/22/2008, -3/+4The effects of Global Warming, and probably the whole idea of Global Warming, are being exaggerated by governments for God knows what reason. We, the public, are being deceived. It's in the nature of governments to invent crises so their citizens will appeal for help. Look at Y2K.

      I'll get dugg down for this obviously, because you've all fallen for the lie. But consider this; has anyone noticed that scientists who doubt Global Warming, and indeed, have evidence to the contrary, are completely ostracised by the scientific community? The UN's research a while back was completely one sided, and they falsly stated that it was the consensus of the scientific community. Those who disagreed with the findings were silenced and made pariahs. And Al Gore has further cemented the notion that anyone who disagrees with this "consensus" on Global Warming is in denial (this in spite of the fact that Al Gore's video was later shown to have dodgy "facts" and figures).
      • RealJimShady, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1Umm it's the governments that aren't doing jack about climate change. If they really wanted to fool us, they'd actually give enough of a ***** to pretend to be doing something about climate change.
        • Tommyhawk, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1They're doing more than pretending. Ever heard of ethanol? We're going to have global starvation because of all the "nothing" the politicians are doing.

  • Willravel, on 04/22/2008, -0/+17Yes, it does snow in many places in Africa (South Africa, Nambia, Btoswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, as well as other areas). It snowed the last time I was in South Africa, and there are still lions in the North of South Africa.

    There's a difference between the WEATHER and the CLIMATE, you know.

    *SMUG SMIRK*

    WEATHER is any temperature readings that indicate that it's actually, you know, cold out there.

    CLIMATE is any temperature readings that fit our computer simulation and PROVE that Al Gore is right and WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE GLOBAL WARMING WAIT SORRY CLIMATE CHANGE SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WEER STILL RIGHT

    *PATRONISING WANKER MODE OFF*
  • 3gibberish4q57, on 04/22/2008, -7/+32Well, the existence of snow in the world does negate the possibility of a trend of rising average global temperatures...
    • worldchanger, on 04/22/2008, -8/+3...which have only been going down for the last ten years...
    • minorthreat, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Although I do not agree.....*golf clap* to the the first person who could rationally counter argue global warming without being dumb and extremely loud. bravo
      • revengeful, on 04/22/2008, -7/+2The most logical argument against human caused global warming is that the earth is starting a cycle that it hasn't yet been through in the history of the planet. I tend to disagree with this argument, however I don't think climate change is going to be the end of humans. It will drastically redefine the nature of existence though.
    • RealJimShady, on 04/22/2008, -4/+1Woah, that is the most deceptive use of false-logic I've ever read. I'll put $5 on you being religious.
      The existence of snow in the world does definitely not negate the possibility of an upward trend in the average global temperature. If the average low temp raises from -30deg (celcius) to -20deg over a decade. Will there still be an "existence of snow in the world"? The answer is yes, and you are very dumb. I work with a couple of dumb guys, and you've so far made the top dumb comment I've heard this month. And what you said almost sounded smart, but then you ruined it by being wrong and attemping to use a smoke and mirror's approach to science. Here's all you needed to say to actually make a valid and sensible statement: "Climate change is a plausible theory given that global temperature and ocean suface temperature averages have increased to a level that is uncharacteristic of their typical cyclical behaviour.". Please leave it a couple of years before trying to make your next scientific inference or engaging in an argument that isn't about which pokemon would beat another in a "battle". There is still much maturation of the brain to occur over the next decade as you approach about 24 years of age. Lay off the crack and alcohol, no contact sports, take a multivitamin, and be wary of the long-lasting affects of sleep deprevation. Adios!
  • mchan103, on 04/22/2008, -17/+8Global warming is causing a global freeze. What oxymoron! People use anything to justify their religion (especially mother earth worship) because they are brain dead. Their brains are full of fluoride and mercury.
  • pk7677, on 04/22/2008, -14/+6How the ***** is this global warming?
    • Princeamor, on 04/22/2008, -4/+3Lions are moving north (or south.. depending on which hemisphere) because it's not so cold they cant be there anymore
    • neocr0n, on 04/22/2008, -2/+4Sarcasm...
  • WallaceFreeman, on 04/22/2008, -5/+5orgy porgy
  • smashingmonkey, on 04/22/2008, -14/+15Hey, Lions in snow... quick, let's all jump to conclusions which support our prejudices about global climate change based on one picture with no supporting information!!
    • joshuagor44, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4It's clearly a joke.
      • smashingmonkey, on 04/22/2008, -2/+1I was referring to the reactionary comments, not the article.
    • worldchanger, on 04/22/2008, -7/+5hey! the global average temperature is up 0.6 degrees in the last hundred years! let's all jump to conclusions that the sky is falling and we're all going to die!!1!1!one
    • Genetico, on 04/22/2008, -1/+3Easy there tiger. It's just a pic of some cute furry lions. Your hothead is more of a threat to the planet's climate.
    • smashingmonkey, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1And now you've jumped to conclusions about me too. Shouldn't surprise me... I'm one of the few human beings who possesses the humility to admit that I don't know whether or not global warming is a man made problem. My comment applies to those who are arrogant enough to assume either position as absolute fact when there's compelling evidence on both sides of the argument.

      And so you've all missed my point - if you can look at a picture of lions in the snow and jump to a conclusion either way, you are demonstrating that you act from prejudice rather than an open mind.

  • tinyt42, on 04/22/2008, -15/+16This whole global warming thing is ridiculous. I have no problem with being green and all of that but enough of the scare tactics. Analysis of long-term changes in ocean temperatures have revealed that the warming temperatures are more a result of natural cyclical climate variations than they are a result of anything humans have done.
