  • pigglesnout, on 06/22/2008, -2/+215Wow. How do things like this ever get made.
    • cl2yp71c, on 06/22/2008, -8/+173They're financed by MrBabyMan in order to attract diggs.
    • dabura, on 06/23/2008, -15/+108FYI: that's Mrbabyman's anus, and those kids represent Diggers
      • urbano35, on 06/23/2008, -1/+4Do diggers represent his babies? (make the connectionn)
      • jlmillstein, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2I actually knew before I opened this it was going to be a Goatse reference.
    • RunOut, on 06/23/2008, -4/+64Its Obelix!!

      • ddfall, on 06/23/2008, -9/+6I'd say from the link that you are indeed correct. Good find.
      • cl2yp71c, on 06/23/2008, -2/+9How the....
      • sfkit, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4this goes out to the other 2 diggers that read Asterix when we were little, it's me and RunOut

        I bet you read TinTin too - i know i did!
      • cosmosprince, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1I shall announce my awareness of the existence of Asterix by leeching off this message.
    • PabloIV, on 06/23/2008, -1/+11I'm guessing that's Obelix, from the Asterix theme park in France.

      Obelix used to carry heavy ***** around my guess is that there's some sort of cover that goes there that's missing probably for repairs.
    • ZeRux, on 06/23/2008, -6/+3I wish I've never seen this image. Curse you MrBabyMan!!!!
    • dmerc, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1I'm not clicking any links in here.

    • JimmyJoseph, on 06/23/2008, -5/+14I know right? Digg is SUCH a serious place and ONLY the highest caliber of links get posted to the front page. I think everyone who dugg this should have their account revoked and be billed for $5. I'm glad we have users like you around protecting the sanctitiy of this valuable and elite group of professionals.
      • Midou, on 06/23/2008, -4/+6Digg has become a place where 90% or more of pictures are not only guaranteed to be old, but some dating back as much as 2 or 3 years..
        • Ryansmellsfarts, on 06/23/2008, -2/+3That doesn't mean everyone has seen them.
      • SakisRakis, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Glad you want to fine those who are interested in things you aren't :(
    • bman85, on 06/23/2008, -0/+6I both enjoyed it, and have never seen it before, so as far as I'm concerned it did its job, and deserved to be on the front page, and apparently about 2000 other people agree.

    • sandburn, on 06/23/2008, -1/+10Gotse was showing us the same thing - he likes to put "men-hir"
  • diggface5000, on 06/23/2008, -0/+8Ok when I was a kid that thing was a strawberry and it was awesome. Beyond awesome considering it was only 2 tickets to ride. Leave it to the french to destroy the berry go round.

      how great would it be to have an entire theme park of the sickest ***** on the net?

      In addition to the genius 2Girls1Teacup, maybe they could have the "chechclear" ferris wheel.
      • cwmather, on 06/23/2008, -0/+6Note to self. No longer google terms like "chechclear" just because someone mentions it in a forum.

          since you already googled it, what came up?
          (i am too afraid to now that you said that....)
        • phrenzy, on 06/23/2008, -0/+0Sorry about that. I actually refuse to ever watch it - although I've heard vivid enough descriptions of it. I learned my lesson after watching one the Iraq 'beheading' videos in 2004. I felt sick for days and had nightmares for a while. I decided that my curiosity was not worth the loss of humanity that you experience when voluntarily witnessing such things.
        • lolwutpear, on 06/23/2008, -0/+0so that's the name of that video! i've seen it several times already. grow a pair, you guys.

  • Mishkin, on 06/23/2008, -10/+4What's wrong with you people? It's just a carousel ride, it's there for amusement. I think it's actually kinda neat. You guys are thinking way too hard and deep about this.
    • mystafreaze, on 06/23/2008, -2/+4WTF are u talking about? The seats are located in the colon of a Disney character! However i'm quite amused, and it even looks as if you can twirl around..
      • Mishkin, on 06/23/2008, -3/+1Like I said, you're thinking too hard about this. It's made for children that don't try to find the exact meaning of some silly ride they're going to be for 10 minutes on out of their whole life... which pretty much means any child the ride was designated towards.
      • ReyX, on 06/23/2008, -2/+4DISNEY CHARACTER?

        Hmm no, it's a Goscinny and Uderzo character.
    • Yuska, on 06/23/2008, -0/+9"What's wrong with you people? It's just a carousel ride, it's there for amusement. I think it's actually kinda neat. You guys are thinking way too HARD AND DEEP about this."
    • genome895, on 06/23/2008, -1/+3Comment dugg solely for the "hard and deep" bit lol. That's where my mind was when I saw this image, and it is a fitting caption for it. And yes... I am being a child. Also, I wonder if this ride was especially designed for the Glory Hole theme park.

  • luckyguy2000, on 06/23/2008, -2/+1i believe this can be truth, but ive a small bitter fake-taste in my mouth watching the picture. there is a cutoutandpaste feeling to it. i cant point to it though.
  • nxxm, on 06/23/2008, -13/+5you morons. its just obelix, a comic character and normally behind his back he holds menhirs with his two hands.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menhir
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelix
    look at the picture you retards. it clearly shows obelix carrying around menhirs.
    and then compare it to the picture digged here. mrbabyman is the biggest retard of all diggers.

    dohw.

    • kinggimped, on 06/23/2008, -2/+3Jesus Christ, Mister Misplaced Polemic.

      So because people don't know the famous comic book character (and why should they? People don't read these days, they have DVDs), mrbabyman is 'the biggest retard of all diggers'?

      The point is that it looks rather like Goatse, which is going to be better-known by the general readership here than a series of comics that are no longer being made. And as tragic as it is that Goscinny & Uderzo's loveable characters are no longer immediately recognisable by the average online demographic, it's still pretty ***** hilarious that there's a carousel in a theme park that looks like a fat man opening up his butt cheeks - and even better that they encourage children to sit inside the crevice.

      I think you should maybe think less about the underlying mythology of Asterisk comics and more about developing your sense of humour so you're not a sad little pedant who simply can't wait to point out the ignorance of others under the mistaken idea that it somehow makes you look intelligent.

      It doesn't.

      Also, mrbabyman spends a lot of time finding this stuff to post on Digg. Don't be such a trolling ingrate just because you don't like a couple of his submissions.
    • hasslinthehoff, on 06/23/2008, -2/+1Lighten up, Francis...
    • eltrev, on 06/23/2008, -2/+2hey nxxm - More info on Obelix and Menhir here, though it's NSFW: http://tinyurl.com/fgd3x
      • moomza, on 06/23/2008, -1/+1it's a goatse (expectedly) don't click it.

        tinyurl could really improve it's product by putting a rollover preview on links.

        eltrev - at least you NSFW'd it, but digg is not the place to do this.

  • dilbert, on 06/23/2008, -0/+9Is this at the Glory Hole Theme Park?
