Broken skateboard has the last laugh

I'm not one for skateboarding videos unless it involves someone on the business end of a painfully hilarious smash to the balls. Fortunately that's 99% of skateboarding videos, but that's not this one. Though still pretty entertaining, it's sorely lacking in pelvis punishment.

Losing virginity late may cause sexual dysfunction

File this one in "well duh" category. This solid report comes from ABC News, the knights of hard-hitting journalism (some say sarcasm doesn't come across well on the Internet, but I beg to differ). It finds that losing your virginity as late as 22 can result in sexual dysfunction, according to a recent survey. I envision scientists rounding up a group of nerds and examining them with stethoscopes to come to this groundbreaking conclusion.

The fact that this made it to the front page of Reddit (whereas none of my story submissions do, you fucking elitist assholes, why won't you just vote up my submissions already!) says something about its user base: namely that is comprised of a lot of 22-year-old virgins. Like a Discovery Channel documentary, let's listen in.

svengalus thinks they may have it backwards
Or sexual disfunction makes it harder for you to get laid. Which seems more probable?
It quickly turned into a relationship advice forum for IkoIkoComic

I sent this link to a 22-year-old-virgin that I know, on account of it being overwhelmingly appropriate. ... She's my girlfriend.

frukt is confused

Aren't you supposed to have sex with girlfriends or have I totally misunderstood something?

IkoIkoComic explains

This is not always how it works.

gigaquack offers an alternative

Try to talk her into anal.

helaughed agrees

It's what Jesus would do.

Kanye West responds to Bonnaroo critics

The response from fans and Web goers following Kanye West's delayed Bonnaroo performance, which didn't start until after 4 a.m. was not so welcoming. The night of the event, West received a healthy round of boos and thrown shit at the stage (not actual feces, though he probably deserved it). He did a little PR damage control via his blog with what can only be described as a poorly organized, extended IM. None of these Digg comments make sense without having read West's original blog post, so you should go do that now. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Okay. Let's get started.

feacesface says
You know, he really didn't give it his all.
Well said, strum
Pearl Jam went over 1 hour. You were 2 hours late. I know you're a college dropout and all, but do the math.
While everyone is out waiting on your late ass you're in Atlanta having a blast. You could've come out on stage personally while everyone's waiting and explained the holdup and people would be more tolerant. You could've allowed Phil Lesh, who was playing opposite you, to finish his set rather than request he be taken off the stage an hour early.
You could've cared a bit more.
And you sure as hell could've taken your caps lock off.

5 questions no man wants to hear

It's not too often some chick's blog about relationship advice makes it to the front page of the heavily geeky, sexist, relationship-less Digg web site, but by golly those nerds have proved us wrong. The post "5 questions no man wants to hear" is blogger Divine Caroline's attempting at throwing all dignity to the wind and writing a piece demeaning women to cater to an all male demographic.

Advice like "don't ask about his past relationships," "don't be a nagging whore," "don't try to advance the relationship" and "don't ask questions" are sound suggestions in any man's mind, but not the average tips you'll see coming from the fingernailed hands of a female blogger. But right as rain, here are the tips, and below are a few questions men would universally much less like to hear than "Am I fat?" (though that one is a booby trap in and of itself).

CalmBlueOcean adds
6: Would you hold my glass eye?
chazizzle says
is it in?
Hiji says
Can you come over to check this pregnancy test?
DeskFlyer says
"Did I mention I have a boyfriend?"
Negativelon says
... "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?"
LizNovack says
"Can you throw my jock strap in the wash with yours?"
tradwollely approves our list
All of the questions above that I read are better than the ones on that crappy list.

Response from the man who discovered Tila Tequila

Photo courtesy of Holytaco.comA factually contentious story on how Stuff Magazine former editor Jimmy Jellinek made cover girl Tila Tequila famous (he reportedly spent a few minutes finding a girl with the most MySpace friends — Tequila) has incited a less than cordial e-mail response from Jellinek: "Hey Corey go fuck yourself…"

Turns out Tequila (the prostitute, not the alcohol) makes excellent comment fodder.

Farmer77 welcomes Tequilla's reappearance on Digg
Great! Another chance for me to call Tila Tequila a midget alien on the front page.

Crash Reporter quit unexpectedly

An image showing Mac's system crash reporter describing the Crash Reporter application quitting unexpectedly made the rounds on Flickr and Digg. The Digg story appeared with an apt headline "Oh, the irony!!" It's an interesting photo, but the comments was where the funny is at.

This isn't irony. Irony means to be composed partly or entirely of iron.

Girl spins on escalator

This is one of those things I can't believe no one has ever thought of before. The girl in the video lies on the revolving handrails of adjacent escalators, causing her to spin in circles. Cool trick, and it doesn't hurt that she's hot. That fact made up most of the comments from horny Diggers.



mkpaa's life gains meaning
Added that to list of "things to do before I die".
Though DaviDTC isn't quite sure which meaning
Escalator thing or the girl?
jd33 crafts innuendos
Hot blonde sitting and spinning? Are you fucking kidding me? Dugg.
LFAB crafts less tricky innuendos
I'd Spin It

Is it wrong that I got incredibly turned on by this video?

Rocky and the Governator Team Up

A Bollywood film will be made at Universal Studios for the first time, casting Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Seems his tenure as governor of California still affords him enough time to handle other pressing issues, like star in silly movies. Regardless, teaming up two of the most indecipherable voices in Hollywood will be a recipe for hilarity. Let's see what Diggers have to say.

2clone has the winning formula
Its propbably going to be 90% dancing and 10 % plot.
Krillin appears to have an advance copy of the script
Schwarzenegger: It was a glorious summer in Oxford when I met Freddy Cavendish, a most remarkable young man, whose friendship would change my life forever.

Sylvester Stallone: (Leans back in the boat) You are the anchor that gives my spirit license to soar.
1gunners4 says
Jesus Christ, we're going to need fucking subtitles for the entire movie.
freezerburn666 just gets plain racist
well that video clip sure was fucking gay. and what exactly makes this a bollywood film, again? an indian producer? does that mean like, the 6th sense was bollywood because that brown guy made it? also, get your own fucking actors bollywood. why dont think just get some big hindu steven segel type fags to do this shit movie...

Ice on Mars an important breakthrough

You'll often see stories reappear on Digg. Whether it be hours or days after the original headline dominates top news, one of these faux reactions stories makes its way onto the home page. For whatever reason, it gets votes. Maybe it's from users who hadn't seen or dugg the original news; or maybe these people just like the story so much that they think it should appear on the home page twice. (Ever heard the comment, "I'd digg it twice if I could?")

Okay, enough rambling. There's fucking ice on Mars. Here's what people had to say.

hokie47's new business venture
Now rich people will have a new ultra expensive bottle water.
Dirtpile is unimpressed
Tell me when they find bourbon.
Darren07 is the decider
Screw water, let's start drilling for oil!
No, oduska, I don't think that's how it works
Well duh there's ice... we just need to melt it to get oxygen!
tdishman calls dupe
Isn't this straight out of the storyline to Total Recall?

No, Vanilla Ice should never make a new album.

'Social Viagra' could boost confidence

Photo courtesy of flippy rice via Flickr
A new drug containing oxytocin, a natural hormone released by new mothers to assist with childbirth and with the bonding between mother and child, is being dubbed "social Viagra" for its applications in boosting confidence. Users reportedly experience less anxiety in social situations.

As if the working title "social Viagra" wasn't funny enough, the Digg comments really hammered the point home.

Thrope is pleased
We can now have OUTSIDE friends. :D
phrenzy, loopis and thewebinfront broke out into song
Shyness is nice...
Shyness can stop you....
From doing all the things in life you'd like to...
(It's the Smiths, you jerk.)
Mothers, lock up your daughters 'cause jitjit is on the loose
Together with 'social Viagra' and normal Viagra i shall be unstoppable!
Dundasbro points out that the confidence drug has been around for ages
Its called beer.

Chocolate company refuses bathroom to girl with diarrhea


The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company in Huntington Beach refused to let a 5-year-old girl with a violent case of the liquid shits use their employee bathroom. When the salesmen refused, the girl sprayed doo-doo all over herself and her mother, sending them running to the nearest movie theater restroom.

The ironic parallels of a chocolate reseller refusing someone use of their bathroom when they have to bake a fudge dragon produced some great responses on Digg.

Mariasha is puntastic
That's pretty shitty of them.
insurgente highlights the financial benefits of public restrooms
I bet they tried to sell that diarrhea for profit.
keymanjim2 crafts a better headline
A customer at The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company gets a bad case of the Hershey squirts.

Earth Will Survive After All, Physists Say

Photo courtesy of aussiegall via Flickr
Good news from the scientific community: our planet will not, I repeat, will not be crushed into nonexistence by an enormous black hole. Digg has the full scoop on the man-made particle accelerator that will go into effect next fall, a device previously suspected to cause the end of being. Though the jury is still out on whether the future of Earth is a positive development.

alapoet (blog) is understandably pleased with the positive outlook
Well, that's certainly welcome news!
Despite the good news, DigDigg55 remains skeptical
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
glinsvad might have used slightly different wording in his review
I wonder if this is the first time the phrase "planet-gobbling black hole" has been used in a safety review...
GLMonkey has seen the phrase before
Actually, it is the second time, the first time was when they did a safety review of the Rosie O'Donnell Show...

Loopt is for Douchebags


Flickr gives us a comment softball with a picture showing the CEO of Loopt, a location based social network, wearing two, bright colored, polo shirts at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conferece. Twitter's @gruber kicks off the brutality with, "Loopt is a location-based social network for douchebags who wear two ill-fitting polo shirts at the same time."

califmom comes in with a zzzzing
the 80s called. they want their layered polos back.
To answer thtstudios' question: utter disappointment

Woman uses bra for SOS signal

Photo courtesy of whateva87 via FlickrJessica Bruinsma, 24, a Colorado woman who was hurt hiking, was rescued from a German mountain after being missing for three days. She used her brightly colored bar as a distress signal. From the Telegraph story: "Hoping to attract the attention of rescuers, she sent the bra down the valley on the cable and hung out her underwear on a crag. She then waited, with only a small flask of water and some biscuits to sustain her."

The police chief said the bra saved her life because a logger, who had heard about the missing woman, saw it and phoned mountain rescue. Police described the girl as "in good physical shape."

McBradd gets the obvious comment out of the way
Pics or it didn't happen
dougvfr750 applauds the girl's clever choice of alert signal
Young women's bras get my attention too...
Though, Richie311 points out that it's a fairly well known fact
My uncle always said that a girls bra is most useful when its off, but just dont think this is wat he meant....
username484767 isn't even trying
I can't think of a joke, so I'll say this:

I like boobs.
seedplanter likes puns
Can I give this article another title? "Woman uses bra to save her ass".
Aside from saving her life, Rudegar thinks there's another reward in order
did they give her beads?
fudged71 finds the new MacGyver?
That was actually a very McGyver thing to do. Very cool
bmystry doesn't think so
No a very McGyver thing is if she used the bra and cable to make some sort of helicopter and fly to safety

Ancient Shipwreck Yields 2,400-year-old Salad Dressing

2,400 year old salad dressingA Digg story about a 2,400-year-old jar of salad dressing found in an ancient Greek shipwreck yielded some great responses. Scientists say oregano helped preserve the mixture.

chouch says

You mean Oregano is valuable then? I thought it was only good for making fake bags of weed.
Shh! MrTito is going to ruin their whole operation

That would go perfectly with my 2,400 year old salad.
dOOBiEx213 ponders the other angles of this story
An entire fucking ship wrecked... and THESE ARE THE PICTURES YOU GIVE US? As usual, Discovery, you fail.

Animal Rights

These comments come from the Digg image, Animal Rights. It appears that the social news site has a strong following among the carnivore demographic.


I like MattFid's logic
If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
Touché axiomflash, touché
If we're not supposed to eat babies, why are THEY made of meat?
But gregish asks the real question on every Digger's mind
why is this on the frontpage?

Poop Freeze

These comments come from the Digg front page video about Poop Freeze, a $9.99 spray that freezes dog shit into a crapsicle. The brilliant new technology, which rpi22 points out is a re-branded bottle of compressed air, is eerily reminiscent of a Jack Black box office crapfest. As if the commercial wasn't funny enough, the comments produced some pure comedic genius.



EIderofzion says
This would be perfect to put under someone's car seat knowing halfway through the ride home it will thaw.
Coheedcollapse thinks he's got a better idea
I actually remember a disgusting prank on some site back in the early days of AOL in which some guy said it's awesome to roll poop up in aluminum foil and put it in the freezer. After it's frozen, he cut it into circular "coins" and slipped it into people's pockets at parties. By the time they thawed, he'd be way out of there and everyone would smell like poop.

Weird people.
Though arcooke has warranted concerns
That's an awesome idea.. but I don't think I'd want shit in my freezer.
