So I'm browsing around Digg this morning and i find a curious post, "Prom... ya Digg?". Turns out this kid is really likes a girl who's just found Digg and is trying to ask her to the prom. So he diggs a picture of himself with a sign asking her to the prom. A sweet gesture and one i commend him for, but there's just one problem, he needs Diggs or she'll never see it.
By great stroke of idiocracy the poor guy goes and posts the picture on tinypic thus sealing his inevitable fate. You see the web works like this:
- Guy posts picture on tinypic and diggs it, begging people to help him out.
- Diggers, being great community minded folks, help a brother out.
- Story gets Dugg and makes the homepage.
- The Digg Effect happens and tinypic removes the picture for consuming too much bandwidth
Unless she caught it at the moment of equilibrium, this poor guy is SOL.
