    I liked it better when the internet was too difficult for most people to use.

    I say we abandon the web and make a new system of dialup BBS sites with ascii art and *****. Go retro. If we make it look like a command line, all the retards will stay away ...hehe
  • quik22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6i'd love to see that mid-city kingdom website be the target of a DDOS attack by some group of 12 year olds.. followed by an article that says, "street gang gets pwned by 12 year olds in cyber fight".
  • Wabem, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Real gangstas use myspace. And bad internet slang.
  • Kemo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8This is some sad and funny sh!t. I'm from Palm Beach County. Born and raised in Lake Worthless. I used to bang on those streets when I was a kid. Then I grew up moved to TN and went to school for computers. Trust me, these kids don't want any part of the real gang life down home. They're better off playing on the Internet. I remember back in the day when the wanna-be's dressed up like thugs and hung out at the arcade. Then they would flip sign's to other real gangs, and get shot. The gangs got bad down there. I don't know how it is anymore...well...scratch that, I do now. Damn...how pathetic!
  • osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9bump that, you thought you got rid of me, IPX is here to stay... we've been on the low for years now but don't be hatin
  • ncarpenter, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9A website for gang activity? That's like saying you're the smartest person...with down syndrome! I did find something cool though from looking at "crickets" myspace, and that is graffitigen.com. Now I can make all those building tags and rather than spending hours spray painting them on buildings, I can dust off my old IBM dot matrix printer and plaster tractor-fed banners on the buildings. Mad props, yo, 1337 g4ng$74$ 4 l1f3! .sadness prevails.
  • cajunman4life, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Wow, it's even XHTML and CSS compliant...
  • njbair, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Rumor has it, 50 Cent got where he is by slinging rock on eBay.
  • BritOverseas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Err, did he say "Professional" web page, that is professional?

    If I paid somebody to make me a website and it looked like that, I would send my homies round to sort him out.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6YO NETCHIKS BETTA WATCH FOR US NETBANGAS. WE GON BUSTA NUT ON YO MYSPACE.
  • bluemax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think these guys might be involved in some Internet gang activity:

    http://www.stuntaz.com
  • sporkwitch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm a high school drop out from the school with the highest drug use in the state, I live in the second largest city in the state, I'm unemployed, and I'm about $600 short on this months expenses. Want to know why? Because I don't have a job. Do I resort to hanging out with a bunch of imbeciles and robbing liquor stores? No, I get off my ass and continue to look for a job. I've been in this situation before, I then went on to get my GED, A+ certification (dunce cap of the industry, I know, but employers like it), and a job. I'll find another job, and continue on.

    There's no excuse for gang activity other than stupidity and not WANTING to try. It's laziness. I never got passsed algebra because of teachers that understood it even more poorly than I did, again, you don't see me shooting up the streets. What do I do? I start trying to put away money to take classes.

    Again, being a lazy, deadbeat, dumbass, that doesn't want to work for anything is not an excuse. "My daddy left me, and my baby-mama is a bitch for wanting me to support her cuz I was stupid enough to get her knocked up, and school sucks" waaa waa waaaa, ***** deal with it.
  • EvilBadger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Agreed. Its dumb to post pictures and brag about what you have done. Its a good thing criminals are dumb otherwise they would be dangerous.
  • viperzonedotcom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5It would be funny if they started Tagging rival gangs Destop Wallpaper over NETBIOS connections lol
  • EDantzer, on 10/12/2009, -4/+7ZOMG they are liek so totally cool they dont look 12 years old at all.
    /me joins teh cool gang
  • equusdc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Man, it's gettin' hard out here for a pimp...
  • spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Cricket runs the Mid-City Kingdom Web site"

    Cricket has street cred.
  • fkuall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"This web site contains information, links, images and videos of Mid City Kingdom Lifestyle."
    like: Photoshop Planet | Layers Magazine | Photoshop Cafe | Phong | Tutorial

    thanks for the gangsta links
  • m.sandstorm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4These have got to be the funniest comments I've ever read. (^-^)
  • 2ndDairy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You would think that while getting a bachelor's degree in web design, someone would pick up some, you know, skill.
  • zachgc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Gangs" are still around? I'm kidding of course... I do live in Brooklyn... but I just find it funny how these, "Gangstas" have more advertisements on them than a NASCAR driver. Oh and one more thing, does anyone find it funny that "Gangsta" is in digg's spell checker (And yea, I fully understand that I could/should be slammed for this post as it is off topic)?
  • gimmegimmenow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Chale homezzzzzzzzzz. Truce. We need to get together with King Grasshopper, King Spider, King Scorpion, King Snail, King Catepillar and that maricon King Ladybug so we can take over da internets. You know what I'm sayin?

We're a bunch of chingones con technology with computadoras that are da bomb ayeee. Geeko por vida!! You know wh at I'm saying homezzzz?
  • BaCk1a5h, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4HAHA Gangsters turning into dorks. The kids in my class could make a better Myspace page than that. Edited by Thomas' Myspace Editor. God I love it. MYSPIZZLE FOR LIFEE
  • Predicament, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6A bachelor's in web design - no wonder the site is so beautiful.
  • dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You guys don't wanna mess with my gang, The Inner-City Rubix Killas! Give me a break. Doesn't having a website inherently make you soft-core?
  • noodhoog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yo, grove street 4 life homeyyyyyy!
    If anyone needs me, I'll be in my parents basement.
  • nucleocide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm not ***** with them! His site validates! His art isn't that bad either, neither are Da ladies.
  • kingcricket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Let me start I am the one that created the MidCityKingdom Web site.. The site was not intended to promote the Gang Lifestyle. The site is to show that a few talented individuals have great deal of respect for art.... I made the site for show case my art and few of the homies art... The links on the site are to help people who want to learn the graphic arts and web design... So to all you haters out there, you just made more confident about myself... If you want to know real truth and not some newsweek story.. here is my email info@midcitykingdom.com and just ask....
  • brhad56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You are the geekiest looking gangsta I've ever seen.
  • angusm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This will last just until some slightly-smarter gangbanger realizes that he can set up a fake MySpace site and post pictures of his opposite numbers in the enemy gang holding firearms and confessing to various crimes. "Yeah, I smoked da bitch ... and I capped da other dude.". Police raids ensue. And that will work until someone gets a little too ambitious and uses Photoshop to alter the pictures so that the subjects appear to be holding tactical nuclear weapons, at which point the anti-gang units will arrest everyone who posts to Worth1000.com.
  • Acidhinge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dugg for the comments. They are the best I've seen so far!
  • sporkwitch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And people actually think the guy posting as "kingcricket" on here is the same king cricket from that site? huh.....
  • erikpemberton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Gang activity on Digg? Isn't that one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse? What's next; AJAX gang sign generators using motion-captured hands of real authentic gang members? I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!!
  • LiquidPenguin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"we did not hate on you, so do not hate on us...."

    Everytime I hear a phrase like that, it makes me want to cringe. Then I want to reach out and touch them with a baseball bat.
  • Geekkake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You better step off my guestbook, ese! This be my hosting space, homes!
  • erikpemberton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These fools got my IP block on lockdown.
  • sporkwitch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wonder what'll happen when the Digg effect hits their site, lol. And you thought the wars here in the comments were bad before they showed up........ lol
  • kingcricket, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I know, only dumb uneducated wanna be gangster do that. lol
