Dear Digg, Stephen Colbert Doesn't Have a Twitter

ccinsider.comedycentral.com — Once and for all, here's the official denial from Comedy Central and The Colbert Report: "I've checked with the show, it's fake." No wait, that didn't come from Comedy Central. It came from... Gisele Bundchen! Yeah, and she said she loves guys who use Ubuntu.

  • geekchic, on 05/19/2008, -31/+354I don't have a twitter either - I can't imagine anyone would actually want to know what I am doing on an hour by hour basis.
  • Modestexcuse, on 05/19/2008, -2/+22712:01 pm: I'm on digg.

    1:01 pm: I'm still on digg.

    2:01 pm: I'm on digg.

  • ladon86, on 05/19/2008, -13/+153My gut tells me that Stephen Colbert DOES have a twitter.
    Now you might say that you checked with Comedy Central and he doesn't. That's because you checked with Comedy Central. You should have checked with your GUT.

    But dugg for truthiness anyway.
  • MavRevMatt, on 05/19/2008, -4/+143Who actually did think that it was his personal Twitter?
  • bjenidles, on 05/19/2008, -2/+1012923 Diggers and counting, that's who.
  • quomen, on 05/19/2008, -6/+96Most Digg users feel a lot more special than they really are.
  • kilomang, on 05/19/2008, -13/+72***** IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE
  • hadak, on 05/19/2008, -1/+52You hear that? She loves us because we use ubuntu! I'm going to have secks! With a woman! Woooo!
  • nibinathion, on 05/19/2008, -1/+43Hey, I think he's making fun of you guys.
  • drex8, on 05/19/2008, -3/+39I was going to say, *Actually, some might*..but then I looked at your profile.
  • weizilla, on 05/20/2008, -2/+334:01:40 pm: i'm back on digg
  • DanielJoel, on 05/19/2008, -5/+35We must propel this epicness to the front page.
  • crowbar77, on 05/19/2008, -25/+55Dugg for incredibly naive diggers. I thought we were supposed to the internet elite, not the type that clicks on the "You won a free ipod" ads. Common guys, this is something reddit users would fall for.
  • nollek, on 05/20/2008, -2/+304:01 pm: I'm rubbing one out to a picture of Bill O'Reilly while listening to Rickroll, bush sucks go ron paul mr babyman diggs a lot politics is pretty cool space is also cool
  • zenbiont, on 05/19/2008, -0/+24get a life people
  • inactive, on 05/19/2008, -7/+30Oh I do. I *really* do.
  • inactive, on 05/19/2008, -3/+25Twitter? No thanks. Digg is as close as I'll ever get to a social networking site again, and sometimes I wonder if that's even too close.
  • Modestexcuse, on 05/19/2008, -1/+23*Sympathy green click*
  • cheezintern, on 05/19/2008, -1/+20I think they call that stalking.
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/19/2008, -1/+20BREAKING: Denial Story Debunked! Colbert Twitter Real!
  • anagoge, on 05/19/2008, -2/+213:01 pm: I'm still on digg.
  • dudefaceguyman, on 05/20/2008, -0/+185:01 pm: I just peed in an empty Red Bull can, so I'm still on Digg.
  • linuxpenguin, on 05/20/2008, -2/+18Duh, only girls have a twitter!
  • toxicityj, on 05/20/2008, -0/+14what idiot fell for that?! *quickly removes him as a twitter friend*
  • StabmasterArson, on 05/19/2008, -3/+17The internet elite?

    Let's ease back on the Ego Muffins there, hoss. You've clearly had enough.
  • yabos, on 05/19/2008, -0/+13Yeah it's stupid as *****. I signed up to get notified of Leo Laporte's TWiT podcast schedule for the live stuff he's doing but other people I added are telling me when they're having lunch, whining their kid has a cold etc. Who gives a rats ass about that stuff jeez. So I unfollowed that crap.
  • JudgeMonkey, on 05/19/2008, -1/+13Yeah, for the most part, twitter as it basically is, is ridiculous, self absorbed, and a waste of bandwidth. let us look at the public timeline right now: An old lady (self proclaimed) complaing about her teeth, another person complaining about their broken gps, and some other person simply proclaiming that some random, unidentified thing is an idiot.

    However, interesting people, or people using it in interesting ways, makes it.... interesting.
  • shadoturtl, on 05/19/2008, -1/+13I think Comedy Central should be put on notice. Wasting valuable time checking facts when they could be supporting our troops by attacking a Democrat's wife. I bet this "insider" secretly likes BEARS!
  • CarStan, on 05/19/2008, -2/+13Gisele loves Ubuntu users? OGC
  • estvir, on 05/20/2008, -0/+11Sorry, but that's pathetic.
  • LZeppelinJ0, on 05/19/2008, -14/+24Digg lowers my self-esteem, especially when people click the red button :(
  • hadak, on 05/19/2008, -2/+11http://api.ning.com/files/pD*sy2jkwnD6wdG*rWbIfK18 ...
  • rollerboy, on 05/19/2008, -4/+13Ubuntu reference plays tricks with my mind it is so irrelevant.
    P.S: I use Ubuntu if that counts for anything.
  • kylesellers, on 05/20/2008, -2/+10It's useful if you have friends. Believe it or not Twitter is not just for stalking geek-celebrities.
  • tmjoen, on 05/20/2008, -0/+8John Hodgman on the other hand is twittering: http://twitter.com/hodgman
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/19/2008, -1/+9Why should I believe Comedy Central Insider over Colbert?
  • tyywebb, on 05/19/2008, -0/+8Reddit's seems to be the geekier website at the moment actually.
  • dudefaceguyman, on 05/20/2008, -0/+8But you could've twittered using your phone if you had to take a piss:


    6:09pm: Walking to the bathroom. Still at the resturaunt with Bob. Need to go #2
    6:11 pm: On toilet.
    6:11 pm: Pissing.
    6:11 pm : Still pissing. Mr. Log is peeking now.
    6:13 pm: Ok poop is now in the toilet.
    6:15 pm: Leaving bathroom. Good thing washing hands is optional and only required for employees.
    6:16 pm: Headsup to Bob. We're gonna talk about cats when I sit down.

    Your friend could've missed ALL OF THAT while you were gone!
  • Miscellaneous, on 05/19/2008, -4/+12Who is Gisele Bundchen?
  • Inverno, on 05/20/2008, -0/+7Everyone clearly lives in close proximity to all their loved ones. Clearly, because that's what MadOtaku does.
  • trotskyist, on 05/19/2008, -1/+8Is anyone really that surprised?
  • kevman459, on 05/19/2008, -1/+8I thought at best it was maintained by the writers of his show.
  • JudgeMonkey, on 05/19/2008, -1/+8Most people in general feel a lot more special than they really are.
  • macfan93, on 05/19/2008, -3/+9This is the doing of.... bears....
  • MadOtaku, on 05/20/2008, -3/+9*Sadistic red click* >:D
  • AzureRise, on 05/19/2008, -1/+6Dugg for using Ubuntu.
  • katie10, on 05/19/2008, -0/+5He could've afforded an iPhone, but he wanted a free one of those, too. :)
  • baldduck, on 05/20/2008, -0/+5We can never be the internet elite without proper sentences.
  • darlyn, on 05/19/2008, -1/+6You call Miley Cyrus and Beyonce A List?

    Anyway, hope that never happens, as all the mYsPcAers will infiltrate our last haven...
