  • webcure, on 10/11/2007, -94/+14A book that seems to have a hard time letting the Easter Bunny represent Easter maybe?
    A bunny delivering candy doesn't have a whole lot of religious value let's say.
    • sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -10/+74Was that clever in your head?
      • xxbrighteyed, on 10/11/2007, -11/+7that would require him to think before he typed
      • xxbrighteyed, on 10/11/2007, -24/+2that would require him to think before he typed
    • J6stik, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I don't care that this has nothing to do with webcure's comment;

      Pertuberant: Way to hotlink to an image and use a *****-ton of SAs bandwidth without actually introducing a page. I'm sure they love that.
      • Phrag, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1SA has plenty of bandwidth. Don't worry about it.
        • J6stik, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I know that, and that this submission is probably just a blip on their graph for the month. (Okay, so "*****-ton" is a gross exaggeration, relatively speaking.) It's basic etiquette to link to a page, tho. And I'm guessing that the submitter found the image through a hotlink as well. I've had experiences in the past where people hotlink to images I'm hosting, tho, and it was probably the biggest pet peeve of mine as a webmaster.

          It's just a lame thing to do, especially when doing something like submitting a story to Digg, where it can get tens of thousands of hits in a day.
      • Modizzle, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1THE BANDWITH, THE BANDWITH, THE PRECIOUS BANDWITH! J6stick, way to bitch about someone misusing SAs bandwith and you yourself not spending your life's savings on accounts. IT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY PAY FOR TEH BANDWITHS! AND THEY UUUUSEEEE SOOOOO MUUUCH! No seriously, you can digg me down, but I personally felt guilty every time I went there, because of the high cost of bandwidth and all, so I stopped going. LOL, I'm not going to pay for a membership and get banned for not acting like a well behaved kindergardener. Goons my ass. Almost everybody in those forums act like lobotomy patients, probably in fear of being banned.
    • WWJeffersonDo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Jesus? Christians just took the Eater celebrations from other "Gods" that were long before Jesus, just as they did the birthdate...image the coincidence (sarcasm). It's the date of the equinox (winter and spring). The bunny represents fertility and reberth, not a cross.
  • dogsop, on 10/11/2007, -5/+508The book cover is a fake, from a Photoshopping contest.
    http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/childrens-books2.php
  • wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -31/+10Apparently a book created by the Jewish candy manufacturers.

    /sarcasm(?)
    • wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13/sarcasm for those who had a humor lobotomy.
  • NeoRicen, on 10/11/2007, -35/+39It's fake dumbass.
    • merripen, on 10/11/2007, -4/+42No, it's a fake cover. It's a real dumbass.
      • spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Funnily enough that's the same grammar mistake that's on the cover.
    • plainOldFool, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1Of course it is an obvious fake. However, all those Photoshop Friday freaks are REALLY good. Most would hard to tell that they're fake if it weren't for the insane doses of tounge-and-cheek. I wish I had them skills.
    • obxjdt, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Nothing gets by you does it......
    • plutpwnium, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1You are a ***** idiot. Do you read comments before posting? L-O-L.
    • StormTrooperVII, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2fake but funny.
  • XxFinalexX, on 10/11/2007, -37/+107Photoshop Phriday down at SA
    But the cover fails at failing.

    It should be "Thank You for Coming Back to Life Jesus"
    • jambrklyn, on 10/11/2007, -8/+16yeah, but he couldn't have come back to life if he didn't die. it's sort of like the whole chicken and the egg thing.
      • BHSPitMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -4/+30"Death and resurrection" have never been too much of a "chicken and egg" conundrum, to my awareness...
        • Detritus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11That's okay; the whole "chicken and egg" thing isn't too much of a "chicken and egg" conundrum either for anyone with a basic grasp on biological sciences.

    • djAnakin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18I'm pretty sure you're missing the point of the whole thing.
      • Darksaber11, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1No, he's just making a valid point about how the cover isn't really correct.
  • quomen, on 10/11/2007, -20/+2lmao this is so random..
    Reminds me of: "I like turtles!"
  • handheldchimp, on 10/11/2007, -29/+3I lol'd so freaking much! That's great!

    But seriously that's a terrible thing to say, many people on here are going to get pissed...prepare for t3h fl4m3s!!
    • luciferin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Dugg down for being so great!
    • Homunculiheaded, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You know I actually don't think people will get too pissed, since it's actually just as funny from a Christian perspective. The humor is in that most kids see Easter as simply another day to get candy, completely missing the gravity of the holiday. It doesn't poke fun at Christians it pokes fun and the commercialization of the sacred.
  • LivingTribunal, on 10/11/2007, -32/+167Why did this make it to Digg frontpage?
    • Alegoo92, on 10/11/2007, -8/+27cuz its so funny
    • jetfuel, on 10/11/2007, -5/+38Digg has this weird system where if enough people click on the Digg It button, it magically appears on the front page. I thought everyone here knew this.
      • Mike89, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1You forgot to mention where if Kevin Rose clicks it it also makes it
    • thephosphorbox, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Because hidden in that bowl of candy, those kids will find two brand new iPhones, courtesy of Jesus. Watch for their upcoming reviews which will be on the Digg frontpage any day now! :)
      • mistachristian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0now that's a funny response!!!! a bagillion kudos to you:)
    • cloudyprison, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Because in the evening the vote bots go to work.
    • mikehoskins, on 10/11/2007, -9/+4Would making fun of Buddha or Mohammed or Allah or Atheism have made it? Once again, Christians and/or Jews and/or Republicans get bashed and people applaud. I thought people were supposed to be "open-minded" and "tolerant." Food for thought....
      • goblindegook, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4That's because not all religions are equal, some are way more entertaining than others. Just look at Scientology. And to be honest, you can't find the same level of outrage in a Buddhist as you would find in, say, a fundamentalist Christian. There's a lot of gratification to be had in being offensive. On the other hand, we *could* make fun of Muslims, but then there'd be burning flags and effigies and bombs and whatnot, and that's too intense for some people.

        As for atheism and the GOP, neither are religions, I have no idea why you list them with the rest. Alhough admittedly, the GOP is fun to bash because you can catch politicians doing the opposite of what they claim is right (but that goes for a lot of people in politics). If you can catch an atheist praying, be sure to post about it and I'll digg you up.
        • mikehoskins, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3It's not that I'm saying that some people are deserving of a bashing -- some people in each and every large group (political, religious, socioeconomic, philosophical, etc.) really deserve one, sometimes. Attacking the whole group because of individuals is something entirely different.
          What I am concerned with are these issues, so I hope this makes my point clearer: 1.) People painting with a very broad brush, when bash-worthy people are rarely normative within any large group -- 2.) The Digg-style ganging up against people who dissent with an opinion, which sounds like a "Digg dogma," to me -- 3.) Hatemongering on sites like this one, even occasional posts *justifying violence* on people who disagree with the "Digg dogma" -- 4.) The idea that "tolerance" is one-sided, where people preach tolerance until people oppose their view, which is utter hypocrisy because its "anti-tolerant tolerance."
          Obviously, the GOP is not a religion (to most people), but then, I was obviously making a point, which was missed. Whether you think atheism is a religion or not, you have to admit that it's OK to broad-brush/stereotype Christians here on Digg, but hold on if somebody disagrees with somebody's Atheism on Digg.
          What's really, really odd on sites like Digg or Slashdot that people can stereotype Christians, for example, but be so passionately for people like Ron Paul (Conservative, Constitutionalist Christian Republican and Libertarian), Abraham Lincoln (first Republican President, Christian late in life), J.R.R. Tolkein (Christian), or C.S. Lewis (ex-atheist and anti-Christian skeptic who became a Christian, due to overwhelming evidence for its truth claims). Does that make the point about broad-brushing? Or, do people even know?
          Shall I lump in all Atheists or Agnostics or Evolutionists with Hitler, members of the Nazi Party, Stalin, Lenin, Madeleine Murray O'Hare, or with Charles Darwin (on his racism and advocation of genocide against "inferior" races). Of course not. It wouldn't be fair to anybody to say that these people or their ideas/ideals represent everyone else who has something superficial in common with the rest of the group. It would create a straw-man argument, in fact, to do so and would be a form of ad hominem attack.
          I am an Evangelical Christian and a Constitutionalist, myself. However, I see people lump me in with Jerry Falwell or even worse, Fred Phelps (horror), so I take an undeserved bashing for something *they* did. For that matter, people attack my state of Kansas all the time, without ever having been there or seeing its metropolitan areas, but I digress.
          All the while, I don't sit here and bash Democrats or Atheists or , yet it's plenty fine to stereotype groups like mine. Again, it's a straw-man/ad hominen combination and not fair. However, it's probably asking too much for a site like Digg.
          Who does real debate, anymore?
          • wattznext, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Dugg down for going on and on and on and on and weeeee are the champiiiooons...sorry... and getting way to worked up for a digg comment.
      • brainboy77, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4buried for bringing religion into a light-hearted joke, you over-religous *****
      • brainboy77, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4buried for bringing religion into a light-hearted joke, you over-religous *****
    • yesimahuman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Because some people have a sense of humor.
    • mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Because anything that even remotely looks like an attack on Christianity will make the front page.
    • HypocriteDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Do you realize how Digg works? Apparently not.
    • krnldmp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Because a lot of people are genuinely thankful the relatively half important man is gone.
  • projektidiot, on 10/11/2007, -5/+20"Why are you doing a coffin trick for Dad's birthday?"
    "Black humor."
    • CptCancer, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2As much as I would love to dig you up for the AD reference, it's lack of relevance forces me to click the lil' red thumb.
    • Butmac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Ohh...well I guess that's kinda funny..."
    • harpwn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Hey dad... look at you... you're one year older... another year closer to DEATH.
    • davetheman42, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Wait, you can wear stripper clothes when you're not stripping?"
  • Slrarp, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9A fake book?

  • rebelxtnut, on 10/11/2007, -13/+2LOL
  • Osmodius, on 10/11/2007, -12/+5Buried as unDiggworthy.
  • swiftekho, on 10/11/2007, -16/+4Buried, premise that was implied by the description is inaccurate
    Clearly edited
    Didn't even smirk
  • DeeprBlue, on 10/11/2007, -12/+7Isn't that what Christians pray about? Giving thanks and gratitude to Jesus for sacrificing himself to redeem the world? This is nothing more than how a child might say it, abeit less tactfully. :P
  • krakhed, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3I'm digging it out of spite.
  • brusty, on 10/11/2007, -12/+7My mom used to read this to me.
  • DeskFlyer, on 10/11/2007, -15/+3Buried as ***** lame.
  • fooboarder, on 10/11/2007, -8/+130Presents when he is born, candy when he dies, Jesus is awesome no matter what he does!
    • onlyclave, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11He could walk on water and swim on land, turn water into wine and vitamin pills into amphetimines. Jesus was way cool.
      /King Missile
      • shadygrove, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i love king missile! seen 'em live twice.
    • bloominoctober, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Since when do we get candy on Good Friday. The candy comes on Easter -- the day of his resurrection.
      • robdowns, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1holy crap! you SOOO forgot to capitalize "his." you're going to hell! ; )
        • bloominoctober, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Gotta admit ... your comment made me laugh

          (notice the lowercase "y" at the start of "your" ... this indicates that you are not God)
  • blurrie, on 10/11/2007, -12/+2is this real
  • JoshT91, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9ROFL

      Stay on target.
  • roland, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0Pretty much you took a poor joke that might draw a smirk and made it boringly unfunny.
  • villainousT, on 10/11/2007, -7/+8Fake, but I laughed anyway. It's so true these days...commercialization blah blah blah
  • fixty, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3It's an AWESOME book duh :)
  • AeroZeppelin, on 10/11/2007, -6/+21I thought this one was funnier:

  • uscfan7690, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5Woohoo SA makes the frontpage
  • wesw02, on 10/11/2007, -10/+4Lame, bury it!

  • crossmr, on 10/11/2007, -5/+25wow... there needs to be a bury -> submitter is brain damaged option in there..

    • dokbeast7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Wow, the original one is almost as bad in a way
  • KeepSwinging, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2what's the real book that the second fake one is based on? The one about halloween. I recognize the drawing style and halloween theme from a book i had as a child. Thanks.
  • DarkReign16, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Flying jew zombie? no thanks
  • RobotJesus, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8"What kind of freaking book is that?"
    The good book.
    • nogami, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3I was going to say "Based on a work of fiction".
  • specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10Fabulantastic! Digg because it reminded me of the SA Photoshop contests.

    http://i.somethingawful.com/inserts/articlepics/photoshop/05-25-07-books/Bike-Tard.jpg
    • rzurad, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Thats because... it's *from* the SA photoshop contents :)
  • DeFex, on 10/11/2007, -10/+2the whole idea of one person dieing for someone else's sin is pretty sick in the first place.
  • nycmac247, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3The God Who Wasn't There Part 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLqqGy2SqmM
  • Cathartik, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1A book written by Satanist's?
  • ohgr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Dare I say it... Digg needs to catch up on the internet more.... or LURK MOAR as the kids say these days.
  • Kakou, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1...the best kind...
  • secretwhistle, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Sweet zombie Jesus!
  • R2DeeDoo, on 10/11/2007, -9/+0Fake or not, both Christians and anyone else who dies for some virgins are nuts. Why glorify death and waste your life buggering others? That's a swell way to pass your time, isnt it?
  • wooties, on 10/11/2007, -7/+11how the ***** does this ***** make it to Digg? it's funny, it is. Somethingawful.com is great, been around for quite some time and i love photoshop fridays.. BUT ... Can we add a 'noob' category somewhere? I swear half the posts i see dugg seem to come from people who dont know what the internets are. .. and post stupid ***** like this all the time. .. /rant
  • moonym, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Yeah, it's funny, but why does someone from digg need to link to somethingawful so everyone can see funny stuff, just go there yourself.
  • csrster, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1The Danish version would read "Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit. The wheat rolls are awesome". But nobody would laugh.
  • DoBieSmalls, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8the kid with the black hair is totally kevin rose
    • idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1no, he's obviously asian.
      you can tell by looking at his stereotypically slanted eyes.
  • defythereds, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1ugh.. welcome to teh intertubes.. this is obviously photoshopped. nice work. you get a gold star!
    • anachronaut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7So, something that very obviously came from "Photoshop Friday" at Somethingawful is... Photoshopped? Surely you're joking. Wait, you're not joking?? ***** me, and here I thought everything that came from Photoshop Friday was real this whole time. Next you're going to tell me professional wrestling is fake...

      It's a good thing a rocket scientist like you is around to edumacate us dumb noobs about teh intertubes. You are truly an unappreciated hero, and I doubt we could survive long in the absence of your wisdom.
  • Chainheart, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1What can't Jesus do?

    Oh wait, forgot about existence..
  • txtphile, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I was just listening to Rant in E Minor yesterday:

    "Mummy I woke up and there was a Lincoln log in my sock drawer!"
    "That's the story of Jesus."

    Thanks for living, Mr. Hicks.
