The Most Buried Comments in Digg History

Finding the most buried comments took a bit more work than finding the most dugg ones, but here is my best effort at finding them. Personally, I was disappointed at the amount of poor comments on the Steve Irwin post. Again, I tried my best to find them all, but there is no real way to do this other than clicking through a ton of stories. Please forgive any errors.

Also, the amount of diggs on these comments are accurate at the time of this post. Please check out this digg comments page, its hilarious. - thanks MightyGiant

1. -713 - on THE Crocodile Man, Steve Irwin, is dead.

No way, look at the articles that talk about net neutrality where someone said something stupid like "Censor The Internet"!

Or where someone insulted Firefox, Linux or IPods.

I was trying to see if there was a way using Google's advanced boolean logic to search for the most dugg down comment on digg...this is how far I got with that....haven't worked with Google's boolean logic for a while, and don't quite know how to get it to work properly for this:

""- 7* diggs" site:digg.com"

I used site:digg.com to only search on digg.com sites.

I used - 7* diggs because that is the format to which comments are displayed in terms of being dugg down...it goes for example like this, spaces and everything exactly "- 7 diggs" Note: the asterisks I used, was to get it to display anything starting with 7, which could mean the numbers that would result would have their first digit being number 7 (as the most dugg down comment was in the - 700s), so that 7 could result 76 could result 708 could result, anything starting with the digit 7....but my logic or the operators I used might be incorrect....but at least that's a better start to try and figure this out with Google search's boolean logic.

the only exceptions to that format, is when you have a comment with either "+ 1 digg" or "- 1 digg" as that is when diggs becomes formatted to the singular form digg ("+ 0 diggs" is how zero diggs would be displayed)

More negative diggs = more evidence that Digg.com has a consensus on a topic and that the dugg down comment is universally despised by the consensus of Digg.

If you agree that piracy is wrong, for example, consider yourself voted off the island. Hope you found the voodoo idol.

That was awesome, I always read minus digg comments because they are usually funny.

Weird how they're all quite recent digg articles. But good post nonetheless

Anonymous said...

what's the point here? all you are saying is "gee i wish i could find stupid comments on digg..." you offer no insite on accomplishing this feat (although it wouldn't be difficult if you had any ounce of understaing for programming).

i shall grant you a -20 diggs - because i understand how to do such thing ;)

I'm giving you a quick style tip.

Instead of this:
"Here is the whole letter...." by junkmail02
blah blah blah I'm not listing it all out here

Try this:
"Here is the whole letter(...)" by junkmail02

Proof that standards of writing can save you from having to type blah blah blah.

This guy likely has the most negative diggs now.
http://www.chandlerkent.com/stories/2007/1/06.php (note: this is not my site, nor a plug)
I went to this guys blog. He actually sounds like a pretty nice guy. The funny thing is is that people being annoyed with his "shameless plug" as they call it has obviously generated a lot of traffic for him. Well, that makes me happy after everyone was jerks to him.
By the way the link to his site is

Disaster is likely to wreak havoc in the life of an individual as soon as he becomes victim to erectile dysfunction and the most significant dreadful consequence of erectile dysfunction is that the afflicted man becomes incapable of facilitating erections required for sexual intercourse. The sexual vacuum resulted from erectile dysfunction prompts the sufferer to opt for anti-impotency pills, most especially the viagra medication that was approved by FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) as a clinically effective drug to cure erectile dysfunction in men. Viagra is meant to be administered by patients only after availing of viagra prescription from the doctor. The prescription for Viagra provided by the doctor spells out that the patient suffering from erectile dysfunction seriously need Viagra to treat his disorder and further authorizes the patient to avail of Viagra from the pharmacist.
