    Weird.
    • pianomahnn, on 11/01/2007, -7/+26Only, not really. This happens more often than you are, obviously, aware.
    • airwalkery2k, on 11/01/2007, -1/+13You must know the algorithm used to designate a story popular then?
      • pastasauce, on 10/31/2007, -0/+8I've noticed that if it has the name "Kevin", the article usually only needs 20 or so diggs to make it to the front page.
      • Tenetri, on 10/31/2007, -2/+2its actually a large series of tubes!
  • Stormwysper, on 11/06/2007, -7/+399"What does it stand for?"

    "I don't know, but I've been told not good."
    • stopbrorape, on 11/08/2007, -5/+120***** owned all of them and they don't even know it.
      • Gregus1032, on 10/31/2007, -14/+5except for the fact they said "looks and sounds like, but wouldn't admit". They knew but they wouldn't make an accusation over it.
      • charlie55, on 11/01/2007, -39/+3kevin smith should talk, he is catholic himself. he is crazy too, just in a slighly different way. hypocrite.
        • aliengoods, on 11/01/2007, -2/+30I don't think it means what you think it means.
          • charlie55, on 11/01/2007, -15/+6it means what i think it means. kevin smith is catholic. those who believe in fairy tales are no different than others who beleive in fairy tales. if kevin smith is willing to believe the tenets of catholicism, why wont he believe something equally crazy, that god wants his movie to be protested? is that so much more ***** absurd than a virgin birth?

            it is like if i tell you to grow up and stop believing in santa claus, and go off and and pray to the easter bunny.
          • Tenetri, on 10/31/2007, -3/+9annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.... Wait for it... wait for iiiitttt.....
            BURIED!!!
            Go take an English course, you and the other 54 Charlies...
    • moskaudancer, on 11/01/2007, -1/+77I really liked the sign the woman near the end was holding:
      "Dogma is a sin"
      Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's something Smith would agree with, actually.
    • freefoodisgood, on 11/02/2007, -1/+35I remember reading (or watching) about this some years back. They didn't even talk about the best part, when Kevin joined the protesters he had a sign that said "Dogma is *****!" forcing the other protesters into an awkward situation.
      • moskaudancer, on 11/01/2007, -1/+11While discussing the event with fans, he made it known that he was asked to alter what his sign said. He folded one of the sides over so it said "Dogma is Dogsh"
        Also, his sign was covered in sparkles and glitter. He really put some effort into that sign.
    • Koookie, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1That's funny :) How did you think of that?
  • psygnisfive, on 11/02/2007, -3/+244I love Kevin Smith.
    • Defuser, on 11/02/2007, -83/+4I'm guessing you're 35, never been gainfully employed, and spend all the money you find in your mom's couch-cushions on pot, right?
      • sivsta, on 10/31/2007, -1/+32cue the 'arguing over the internet' retard pic
        • crysys, on 11/02/2007, -0/+13What the ***** is the internet!?
        • hoovcluck, on 11/02/2007, -0/+6it allows people to share pron and bitch about movies
      • brickandwind0w, on 11/01/2007, -1/+23Wow, what's with all the hate?
        • bjornski, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4He's a Catholic who's never been laid.
      • SPThom, on 11/02/2007, -3/+3525 here, quite gainfully employed, not a stoner, and I love Kevin Smith too... So what's your problem?
        • chinaman9, on 11/01/2007, -0/+330 here, quite gainfully employed, AM a stoner, and I love Kevin Smith too... So what's your problem?
      • Bartboy919, on 10/31/2007, -1/+12He just hates him because he's trendy.
        • bjornski, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3Same reason he'll vote for Ron Paul
      • DiggzDE, on 11/01/2007, -0/+20I'm thinking Defuser is probably that fat kid that got owned by Kevin Smith a little while back at Comic Con. Way to hold a grudge you man-boob.

        link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou2mVnElp6c
      • LargeTrout, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Unemployed, 30, stoner but hate Kevin Smith. Something must be wrong with my lifestyle somewhere.
    • brickandwind0w, on 11/01/2007, -1/+21Yea, he is sooooo funny in 'An Evening with Kevin Smith'. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
      • etruscan, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Or 'An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder' - where he tours in Canada and the UK... also hilarious, and he follows up some of the stories in the first one.
    • iChainsaw, on 11/02/2007, -13/+2he is not kevin rose, therefore i hate him.
  • sruffelman, on 11/02/2007, -3/+118It's things like this that make me love Kevin Smith.

    ... besides his hilarious movies, of course.
    • Antha, on 11/02/2007, -1/+58"Try not to suck any dicks on your way to the parking lot!"
      • Lanlost, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5"What the ***** are you lookin' at Grizzly Adams? I'll kick your ***** ass."
  • ePuck, on 11/01/2007, -18/+5This is exactly what silent bob would do! I hope he makes another good movie soon, clerks2 was aiight
  • mccarron, on 11/06/2007, -0/+189Here is the great segment from his many Q+As about this happening.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UDoIBgiUAQ
    • furly37, on 11/01/2007, -0/+15Definitely worth watching, it is hilarious to hear his explanation.
    • felipe82, on 10/31/2007, -1/+4Check the videos about the superman movie in which he was involved briefly and tim burton, in that same Q&A.
      They're ***** hilarius.
  • g33kfu, on 11/02/2007, -1/+49Wow, I'm so glad someone found a video of this! Kevin Smith mentioned this incident on his DVD "An evening with Kevin Smith". For those of you who haven't seen it, the sign he worn around his neck says "Dogma is dog-*****". Hilarious...
  • creoderiot, on 11/01/2007, -4/+22"i've been told 'not good' "
  • blacklabelrum, on 11/02/2007, -38/+0loser
  • RunnyBabbit, on 11/02/2007, -1/+138I love the sign the woman is holding - "Dogma is a sin." I wonder if she realizes that was sort of the message of the movie?
    • sethworld, on 11/01/2007, -0/+31I would imagine she doesn't. Odds are low she or any of the people out there bothered to see the film, find out anything about the film or even took the time to find out much about the film. Some people like protesting just for the sake of having something to do.
      • jcaino, on 10/31/2007, -1/+21exactly, and that is just the point kevin was trying to make with his statement "i've been told not good" ie: i couldn't be bothered to see the movie, but this nutbag says it is evil, so it must be!
    • Inverno, on 10/31/2007, -0/+11I wonder if she realized the irony of her sign at all.
  • mmazing, on 11/01/2007, -2/+7Kevin, you are oh so tricky!
  • UtopiaInTheSky, on 11/02/2007, -2/+153What's funnier? The fact that Kevin Smith has a great sense of humor and can "protest" his own film, or the fact that the other protestors didn't even recognize him?!
    • bjornski, on 10/31/2007, -0/+8They didn't watch it, and wouldn't if you gave them a free copy.

      Just like most of the Michael Moore protesters.
  • bigbill780, on 10/31/2007, -5/+25I think he might release a 5 disk special edition with commentary about that interview.
  • sogydave, on 10/31/2007, -1/+3AH man, that is awesome. Kevin Smith is genius.
  • dreaz, on 11/01/2007, -1/+11I love how serious he is. He had a sign that said "DOGMA IS DOG *****"! From his company's site: http://www.viewaskew.com/press/dogma.html
  • xgambetx, on 10/31/2007, -6/+3wooo dogma is a cool movie
  • hamobu, on 11/01/2007, -8/+18From the video: "If this was attack against Muslims, or holocaust, you would see hundreds of people protesting"
    Me: I guess that means that the catholics are the most intelligent of all! Protesting provocations against your religion is nothing but stupid and contra productive.
    • imthe1, on 10/31/2007, -3/+2you miss qouted, she said, "..... against Muslims, or the holocaust, or against Jews, you would see ........". i was wondering if she realized the holocaust involved the Jews
  • Crash1337, on 10/31/2007, -1/+3haha, that is awesome. He talked about this on "An Evening with Kevin Smith", seeing this in action is so good.
  • TheKarmaPolice, on 11/01/2007, -5/+25i like how the one lady compared it to the holocaust. because a comedy movie and a mass genocide are the same thing...
    • davewashere, on 10/31/2007, -3/+6Too bad Catholic leaders didn't protest the holocaust as soon as they became aware that it was happening, a topic mentioned at least once in a little movie named "Dogma".
      • ErifNeerg, on 10/31/2007, -3/+8"Only the Catholic Church protested against the Hitlerian onslaught on liberty. Up till then I had not been interested in the Church, but today I feel a great admiration for the Church, which alone has had the courage to struggle for spiritual truth and moral liberty." - Albert Einstein
    • ErifNeerg, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6her point was if the movie was making fun of the holocaust or the Muslim religion, you'd hear a much louder out cry from those groups. catholic are really passive about these thing it seems
      • SuperCow1127, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1+1 Digg for Catholics, it seems...
      • da_bradler, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1she didn't say making fun she said "if this were a direct attack against muslims or the holocaust" which is funny and sad because it seems to imply that she thinks the movie is a direct attack against Catholics when really it's very much in good fun. I mean that's like saying a fart joke is a direct attack against proctologists
  • sp1r1t, on 11/01/2007, -2/+30notice how all the protesters are old.
    • WhereAmI, on 10/31/2007, -1/+8They just need a different hobby. The mayor of my town for example was an old person that got tired of being in retirement and then ran for mayor and somehow won. Idiot voters.
    • dwright99, on 11/01/2007, -8/+1and most of the smart asses here are young, what's your point?
    • wutitang, on 10/31/2007, -1/+7Just close down the Country Kitchen, that will stop em.
    • NoStoppingUs, on 11/01/2007, -4/+1apparently you've never heard of "ron paul"?
    • kajoob, on 10/31/2007, -1/+4There's no getting anything past you, is there? For your next assignment, we need you to find out if the refrigerator light goes out when you close the door.
  • soulknowledge, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7Nooge
  • moo113, on 10/31/2007, -0/+20There's really no one better at story telling and Q&A's then Kevin Smith.
  • ncc74656m, on 10/31/2007, -1/+11At least they knew who he was when they put the report up, as opposed to something like "This local resident..."
    • deff, on 10/31/2007, -0/+5I think it would have been even better if they DIDN'T know who he was.
  • qubitz, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6thats when you know youre a badass
  • erad222, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4He said in his Q&A they listed his name as Bryan Johnson (a name he took from his friend). It's a pity they didn't show it.
  • bonjourmr, on 04/25/2008, -3/+9Kevin Smith reminds me of Pirate Bay. He just doesn't give a *****. Champion!
    • solid12345, on 10/31/2007, -5/+3And like the pirate bay kevin smith is making money off your fanboy admiration for him.
      • ErrorS, on 10/31/2007, -0/+5you act like that's such a horrible thing?
  • naturemade, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Great stuff.
  • MeMongo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+10Snoogins
  • LudovicNoir, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1A rare and great find. thanks for this!
  • joeventura, on 11/01/2007, -31/+0Can we get some older clips? Next clip someone will post is that George Bush Srs little son George junior is going to be elected President, put us in a war with Iraq for imaginary weapons of mass destruction. Well thank goodness the World Trade center is still standing. BURIED deep for being 56 dog years old!
    • RAEP, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6Because something being old makes it less interesting or funny to the digg masses. Of course, Mr. Infallible Logic.
    • Glugory, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4The footage is that old, but to my knowledge it's never been posted online before this.
    • Shawn4168, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4Buried deep for using "dog years".
    • CZzyzx41, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Read the description again then read your post. Then you can sign in under your other names and digg yourself down.
  • RAEP, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4Kevin Smith is too awesome.
  • hightek, on 10/31/2007, -13/+1Perhaps it's just me, but isn't this a little dated?
    • CZzyzx41, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3Read the ***** description. Then maybe try reading the comments above before commenting yourself. What you have to say may have already been covered or answered.
  • Nicksname1, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Thats too funny
  • HumanRecall, on 11/01/2007, -40/+1This wasn't even funny in 1999 when it was aired on the news( it was Kevin Smiths failed attempt at making news buzz for the Movie premier!! as you noticed it said only 2 dozen showed up when hundreds were expected ) ...why would it be any significance now that some jack Off found it on you-tube and decided to be cool by posting it on Digg as if it were news worthy !!

    HELL ***** O it is 2007 almost 2008 !!! ***** people who put this ***** on digg deserve to be eaten by rabid dogs !!!
    • CatalystGhost, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1People who can't grasp the concept of "grammar" should be eaten by rabid dogs, too. Just saying. Oh, *****, I think I hear the baying of the hounds on their way already...
    • surfing, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1I don't think you noticed that only 2 dozen showed up when hundreds were expected to PROTEST the movie.
    • Shawn4168, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1What???
    • CZzyzx41, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6Wait you thought those twelve elderly people were there as part of Kevin's posse? Are you ***** kidding me? Please, tell me you're kidding me.
  • garg, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4haha "Dogma is a sin"
  • slipkn0tz23, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7Kevin Smith was talking about this in the bonus features of one of the DVDs (Mallrats 10th anniversary, I think) and he said he got a call from his mother saying she saw a fat man on TV protesting his movie.
  • test5477, on 10/31/2007, -1/+5If your a fan of Kevin Smith you should listen to his podcast, just look for smodcast in the podcast section here.

  • zachshmack, on 11/01/2007, -12/+3Hey guys, anybody want to talk about Fight Club or American Beauty? What about that American Pie movie? I hear that's supposed to be funny.
    /steps back into the year 2007
    • PopeSmoker, on 10/31/2007, -3/+2Have you any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me as long as we’re hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity?
      • thinkfirst87, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Because that exact comment hasn't been posted three or four times already.
  • Betrayer, on 11/01/2007, -9/+1I didnt know Digg had a time warp machine.. this was 8 almost 9 years ago people.
  • Scottypants, on 11/01/2007, -9/+1Hi, My name's Geek. Can I suck your dick for 5 dollars?

  • TrojanGuy, on 11/01/2007, -0/+7My wife worked for Miramax back when this whole controversy was going on. Her office was constantly on alert due to all the nutbags calling in bomb threats (WWJD, right?) over this movie that, as Smith pokes fun at in the interview in this video, they hadn't even seen but had been TOLD was bad.
  • rlbond86, on 11/01/2007, -2/+0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UDoIBgiUAQ&NR=1 for Kevin Smith talking about this.
  • Dorktoh, on 10/31/2007, -1/+0Did anyone else laugh when they saw the lady holding the sign saying "Dogma is sin"?
