    (Read the whole article before you decide to bury the ***** out of me.)
  • elbartoqwertyui, on 11/11/2008, -3/+262Submitter misspelled Rick Astley.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2008, -5/+131Good God you read that whole thing? I'm impressed.
  • pipdip, on 11/11/2008, -1/+86+1 for submitting the print version of the article. At first I thought it was an online article from the early-mid 90s but I was pleasantly surprised to be able to read the ad-free article on one page instead of five pages.
  • cinder, on 11/11/2008, -4/+82I'm disagreeing as hard as I can.
  • sockpuppets, on 11/11/2008, -10/+88Buried inaccurate.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2008, -26/+96No Bill Gates is. Kevin is just some loser digger's man crush.
  • Ecuno, on 11/11/2008, -10/+75TLDR;
  • MisterOh, on 11/11/2008, -4/+67Man that's just awesome. You create a webpage where people submit articles. Someone then submits an article how about cool you are. It's just crazy.
  • thatsgoodkarma, on 11/11/2008, -0/+53I just skipped to the bottom to be honest, but I found it.
  • chaos7, on 11/11/2008, -3/+41kevin rose is the tila tequila of geeks
  • inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+37Your semicolon skipped two places.
  • locojones, on 11/11/2008, -7/+41And even then, being famous on the internet is like coming in first at the Special Olympics. Either way, you're still retarded.
  • dunmasterkane, on 11/11/2008, -7/+31Buried inaccurate.
    Britney Spears
  • SpectreFire, on 11/11/2008, -1/+24No, seriously guys, who the ***** is he?
  • mriegger, on 11/11/2008, -0/+21also possible that the submitter typed 'Internet' when he meant meant 'Twitter'
  • hiro, on 11/11/2008, -1/+20"Sturdily built"? "Mop of hair"? Have they got the right person?
  • Elranzer, on 11/11/2008, -0/+18Amazing how the most desirable form of reading an article these days is an early-90s looking webpage.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2008, -7/+24wtf no pictures?
  • Aurabolt, on 11/11/2008, -0/+15I typed "who is k" in Firefox and I got it.

  • m4csrgh3yk3v, on 11/11/2008, -0/+12WTF is with the "bespectacled co-host " line for Alex. How did he become the obligatory nerd?
  • sfacets, on 11/11/2008, -1/+13Microsoft even pays Digg's bills.
  • Philbert, on 11/11/2008, -0/+12To be fair Kevin co-founded Pounce with 4 or 5 other people. The article seems to imply that it was all Kevin.
  • JoCoProductions, on 11/11/2008, -2/+13hi kevin

  • frieddonuts, on 11/11/2008, -0/+10The title sucks a big one, but besides that, it was a very interesting read, because the writer seemed to show a keen understanding of how the internet worked, not outright mocking us geeks but at the same time not pandering to us to get page views.
    I wasn't expecting to learn much from this article but I was surprised.
  • Tobey, on 11/11/2008, -0/+10That reference would have been so much funnier if it weren't for the last part...
