- inactive, on 11/06/2008, -33/+443This is absolutely pathetic that Digg users are using such an amazing platform to ask such a stupid and immature question.
I wish some of you would take this more cerealy - MakanGuru, on 11/06/2008, -23/+333"On the one hand, I suppose I'm as curious as anyone to see if Gore has a sense of humor about himself. On the other hand, ugh.
This is why we can't have nice things."
CC needs to get a sense of humor themselves....... - inactive, on 11/06/2008, -2/+273"Mr. Gore, are you for net neutrality?"
"Not anymore..." - sugarazor, on 11/06/2008, -9/+160I believe his solution is to put ManBearPig in a lockbox.
- Bitties, on 11/06/2008, -7/+140Excelsior!
- Ericv2thea, on 11/06/2008, -9/+136I'm sure hes aware of south parks shenanigans, and will most likely show some humor towards the question.
I'm super cereal - Lochie, on 11/06/2008, -4/+99Hey, he was on Futurama 3 times so that's good enough for me.
- tconnect80, on 11/06/2008, -3/+94WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
- analreceiver, on 11/06/2008, -2/+86Yeah, like Jon Stewart and Colbert always ask serious questions.
- geekmansworld, on 11/06/2008, -34/+111He was elected Vice President of the United States. He's been lauded by the United Nations committee on climate change. He's been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by a committee of scientists and other great thinkers.
But "the digg crowd" knows better. They know he is a douche with no friends. And they know this because South Park told them so.
Way to think, *****. - roctimo, on 11/06/2008, -9/+86Seriously, what a lame comment for Comedy Central to be making.
- bruins72, on 11/06/2008, -24/+91I'm curious to hear his response. I've never liked Al Gore but he might gain a small amount of respect from me if he's aware of the whole ManBearPig thing and has a good sense of humor about it.
- ironhide, on 11/06/2008, -1/+65Oh crap. OK, I'm an inattentive idiot.
- t0x2c, on 11/06/2008, -9/+69***** you two of my friends died going to hell.
- malex, on 11/06/2008, -2/+60My guess is something along the lines of "Yeah, I watch South Park sometimes too. Hilarious. Got a real question next?"
- ahjkl67435, on 11/06/2008, -9/+58Finally
Some Real journalism - happytrees, on 11/06/2008, -2/+50so... you've been a member for 5 minutes or so?
- bonk2k, on 11/06/2008, -4/+48This would be more interesting if they just flat out asked him about his reaction to South Park's portrayal of him, instead of just, "Hey remember those things that a spoof version of you said on that one show? Durr hurr hurr that was funny."
- pintomp3, on 11/06/2008, -14/+56lame.
- allfatherblack, on 11/06/2008, -0/+38Now THAT I would pay for him to say, just to hear the collective noise of thousands of people realizing they aren't hilarious.
- feignNU, on 11/06/2008, -15/+51Guys stop making fun of him, he's being super-cereal, ok?
- enantiodromia, on 11/06/2008, -27/+58ManBearPig is one of the stupidest Southparkisms ever. I'm all for political satire and what not, but ManBearPig was just dumb.
- coheedcollapse, on 11/06/2008, -3/+34Yeah, definitely. I don't know what the author of that post expects us to do. Al Gore probably expects at least something to be said tongue-in-cheek when facing one of the largest groups of weird internet people. I'd say "ugh" if every question was something like that, but one out of all of them is not bad at all.
- bubba9999, on 11/06/2008, -2/+33Dear Comedy Central,
You started it, bitches. We wouldn't have ManBearPig without you.
Sincerely,
Captain Obvious
p.s. duh - IHaveCrayons, on 11/06/2008, -6/+34So true, I am so serial about this.
- Dweller99, on 11/06/2008, -3/+30you need to update your talking points.
- ironhide, on 11/06/2008, -0/+23Fine, I retract my comments. I guess I'm getting old. All due apologies.
- sten0257, on 11/06/2008, -9/+32Calm down... you're talking about the guy who INVENTED the internet. He must have known the risks.
- zenerdiode, on 11/06/2008, -1/+22Let's not forget he actually won the popular vote in 2000.
or the fact that he DID push for more funding of ARPANET which led to the internet as recounted by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn themselves
or the fact that instead of dodging the draft, he enlisted, not for the National Guard but for the US Army
or the fact that in general he's a pretty decent human being, as opposed to the guy he lost the recount to. - kinseyincanada, on 11/06/2008, -2/+22wait people take the Internet seriously?
- rawfulexdee, on 11/06/2008, -4/+22Your name is Narut0. I struggle to take you seriously.
- mywhitenoise, on 11/06/2008, -8/+25It's a super serial situation.
- Schmapdi, on 11/07/2008, -1/+18Al Gore's been on Futurama at least twice that I can think of, and guest-starred on 30 Rock - I'd say that's a pretty good indicator that he has some sense of humor about himself.
- fandyboy, on 11/06/2008, -21/+38This actually isn't funny at all, just childish.
- keozen, on 11/06/2008, -4/+19Come on children............ really? Did you not take your ritalin today?
- ast16, on 11/06/2008, -1/+16True. Nothing more corporate than withholding their secret zombie Bill Hicks from the world.
- rudezombie, on 11/06/2008, -2/+16The Manbearpig thing has already been brought up in several interviews with the guy, and yes, he does have a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
Way to be edgy & topical yet again, digg. - getbusyliving, on 11/06/2008, -0/+12You said it man. The way they've worded the question is complete ***** retardation. If you want to ask a lighthearted question at least make sure the guy knows what the ***** you are talking about.
- crossmr, on 11/07/2008, -2/+13uhm.. that existed long before 4chan.
They're being honest.
Penny arcade has a great comic about anonymity on the internet... - diggapleasee, on 11/07/2008, -2/+13Why so cereal?
- Earthboundkc, on 11/06/2008, -1/+11Why does digg only have to be about things that are, as you put it, "news worth?"
What's wrong with having some fun once in a while?
If you want news, go to cnn.com or something. What a buzzkill...
ManBearPig FTW! - AManWithNoName, on 11/06/2008, -0/+10Don't forget, he's ridden the mighty moon worm.
- jimmyisprollyth, on 11/06/2008, -1/+11how does this story have over 400 diggs but the question has less than 200?
- geekmansworld, on 11/06/2008, -4/+14Making a now to a Futurama episode would be "a nod to his pop-culture presence". The whole manbearpig ***** is just an endlessly unfunny mask that global warming deniers love to put on their cause to whore it up.
- RadioFreeOpium, on 11/06/2008, -4/+13He might gain a small amount of respect from you? I'm sure thats worth a lot to him.. This man has done a tremendous amount in his career, and his serious demeanor has seen a few laughs his way but show some ***** respect. You have the opportunity to ask a man of extraordinary intelligence and experience 10 questions and this is the one you pick? This is the question that earns your respect?
Why do you people willingly portray yourselves as idiots? - inactive, on 11/06/2008, -3/+126 comments before "cereal" popped up?
I'm dissapointed in you Digg'ers! - keozen, on 11/06/2008, -5/+14Not counting a few random 13 year old idiots, No, No they don't
- t0x2c, on 11/06/2008, -3/+11I don't see what's wrong with that comment, in fact I found it kind of funny. I remember one time on the internet, ***** you two of my friends died trying to get nice things. It's about time for some real change.
- diggduggDOOM, on 11/06/2008, -6/+14That's a lame question. Also, Gore clearly has a sense of humor about himself (see Futurama and SNL).
Why is it the least funny stuff from South Park that become memes? - Dweller99, on 11/06/2008, -0/+8Did you read that thread? It was an embarrassment.
