- MasterPlayer, on 02/03/2008, -1/+109All on one page ftw.
- diggdiggerid, on 02/03/2008, -0/+56From the digg FAQ:
Can I submit porn, pr0n, or pornography?
On a probably related note:
Why did you delete my account and remove my history? - erasmus0284, on 02/03/2008, -1/+57And I thought Playboy had such insightful political discussions and environmental news!
- jkremer3, on 02/03/2008, -12/+54***** you babyman.
- diggdiggerid, on 02/03/2008, -2/+40Who is mrbabyman? I feel left out because I don't know these Internet celebrities.
- Klarth, on 02/03/2008, -3/+36You see, Digg is a site on which users submit links to content created by others or themselves in a bid for said content to reach the front page and gain exposure. This is one such example of somebody submitting an article in the hope of it being viewed by the hordes.
Oh, and you're a toolbox. - legendxx, on 02/03/2008, -3/+29a tool who gets a lot of stories on digg's front page. He cried like his name implies when they changed the algorithm on digg and has ever since has been known as a digg celebrity crybaby.
I don't have any evidence of this but it has been rumored that he gets paid to submit certain stories to digg so they have a higher chance to make it to the front page. - Klarth, on 02/03/2008, -0/+24Yes, I also just read this article
- inactive, on 02/03/2008, -6/+29Woah, a cracked.com article submitted by babyman!!
- wilhel1812, on 02/03/2008, -1/+23my dog covers everything i give it with air!!
seriously - JanYpe, on 02/03/2008, -4/+24OHMIGOD! Cracked.com made a list!
- Locke23, on 02/03/2008, -5/+24Babyman getting desperate?
- Ace68, on 02/03/2008, -1/+19yea, what gives?
- Hortnon, on 02/03/2008, -1/+15Of course, we only buy it for the articles!
- colifis, on 02/03/2008, -1/+13On diggnation a couple weeks ago Kevin Rose winced when he read mrbabyman's name as a submitter.
- Misinformant, on 02/03/2008, -6/+16Top comment on the page simply reads "ron paul"
There are idiots EVERYWHERE - t3rmv3locity, on 02/03/2008, -0/+10Dugg cause the Digg thumbnail was the playboy shot.
- BoneStamp, on 02/03/2008, -1/+10I can't imagine this is a frequent question... looks more like a legal disclaimer.
- UrinalPooper, on 02/03/2008, -0/+9This one had a few yucks in it, but there were two misconceptions in the crafting of the jokes that really made them fall flat for me.
1) Playboy has excellently written articles and yeah, there are ivy-league journalism graduates who really want to write for them. In the age of internet porn, Esquire turning into Cosmanpolitan and Maxim being written for teen-agers, there is a market for well-written Men's publications. The reason "i only read playboy for the articles" is a meme is because you really could read it for the articles. The joke would have worked if Swank or Assman had had the same question in their FAQ,
2) People have been saying/writing "What gives?" for a long time and they continue to say it. I don't understand why that was supposed to be funny.
And now I have no idea why I even bothered to type that all up. - vdog, on 02/03/2008, -0/+8They forgot the ones from RealPlayer:
How do I download RealPlayer?
How do I subscribe to Big Brother 9?
How do I make RealPlayer my default media player? - sjbdallas, on 02/03/2008, -0/+7The McDonald's UK website has an FAQ section where they answer every ridiculous question. There's one that asks about the semen content in a big mac: http://www.makeupyourownmind.co.uk/question-search ...
- HenvY, on 02/03/2008, -0/+7I ***** you not, Aeroflot(number 8 on the list), had a plane crash in 1994 killing all 75 onboard after the pilot LET HIS 15 YEAR OLD SONG TAKE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. I'm not surprised people are willing to pay $1.5k more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593 - debuggercll, on 02/03/2008, -1/+8Forget about that, we got hams to bake!
- holyreality, on 02/03/2008, -0/+6"The message you cite also mentions that baking a ham basted with Coca-Cola produces a delicious gravy -- and that is definitely true!"
amazing. - Ace68, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6what gives?
- adooga, on 02/03/2008, -0/+4Porn in a magazine? Icky.
- inactive, on 02/03/2008, -2/+6Well content does matter for digg. That's why we digg this published material on the Internet. The diggers find the content interesting so they dugg it. For the readers who don't find the content interesting they buried it. That is why digg is popular because the people vote on the content of the material, and not some suit in some news company.
- HenvY, on 02/03/2008, -0/+4*****, should read son. I wish digg would let you edit the comment until you have a reply/vote.
- davidlow, on 02/04/2008, -0/+4ron paul
- colifis, on 02/03/2008, -0/+4That's why dogs will never rule the world. That and they're a little afraid of vacuum cleaners.
- mehan, on 02/03/2008, -3/+7mrbabyman is a bitch.
- Hortnon, on 02/03/2008, -0/+4If making lists with amusing commentary brought thousands of people to your site almost every day, wouldn't you keep doing it?
- sparkmonkeyz, on 02/03/2008, -1/+5To the world of warcraft question, you actually can be a pacifist class. If you want to be a priest, and lvl with people the whole time, you actully could just heal and provide "buffs" as the question asked.
- Mongo1, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3You see, people voted for this article, a process called "digging", and after a sufficient number of "diggs", the site met the criteria for inclusion on the front page. I hope that clears it up.
- inactive, on 02/03/2008, -0/+3you mean he chews his bum
- Borgcube, on 02/03/2008, -0/+3I suspect (though very quietly) that the ham was good as-is and basting it with Coca-Cola didn't do a thing!
- inactive, on 02/03/2008, -0/+3In the meadow we can build a snowman
- awwe, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3Digg's FAQ:
"A user insulted me, what can I do?" - vofuse, on 02/03/2008, -0/+2Another entry from Dr. Demento's FAQ...
Can I get a list of the stations that carry your show?
We cannot provide such lists ourselves, due to the policy of the network that carries the show.
Trying to hide something? - Skeuomorph, on 02/03/2008, -1/+3Dammit, here I was trying to figure out which 15 y.o. song didn't fly. ;-)
- jon30041, on 02/03/2008, -0/+2Well, you take the juices from the pan you baked the ham in, add some flour n other stuff and you got yourself some gravy.
My dad does it like that, and it's always good. None of that bullion cube *****... - OrangeSoda31, on 02/03/2008, -0/+2TO THE KITCHEN!
- condormcs, on 02/03/2008, -2/+4disappointing articled but I'm alright with that now because i have hams to bake. woo!
- GhostyBoy, on 02/03/2008, -2/+3Ron Paul supporters think that YOU are the idiots who are everywhere.
- kita8, on 02/05/2008, -0/+1dogs that take treats somewhere and try to bury them means that they either don't like the treat and are only taking it from u to b polite, and then they try to bury it, or they rn't hungry and r hiding it for later
- jedimasterchief, on 01/08/2009, -0/+1that is an instant front page.
- thugok, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1And then they could pour water on a piece of chicken and watch it ferment. You can imagine what's going on in your guts, I mean we are like 70% water.
- GhostyBoy, on 02/03/2008, -0/+1I only dugg it because I liked the vicious dog pictures in the article. Other than that I'm sick of cracked.
- Lezlee798, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1link?
- Melindhra, on 02/05/2008, -0/+1Dug for the hilarious pictures of snarling, apparently rabid dogs.
