It's official: the Digg userbase is full of losers and morons. Of course, we all knew that already, but here I have photographic evidence. Observe:

That's right: over 300 people voted for a "story" that was nothing more than a statement that YouTube wasn't working for half an hour or so. Better yet, it wasn't even a story: if you look at the URL, it was link spam for somebody's Counter Strike site!

Isn't it nice to know you can trust the Digg user community to carefully examine each story and weed out the garbage? Much better than those lazy, incompetent editors over at Slashdot! For example, take that time earlier this year when Slashdot had all those links to that crack-pot junk "science" site, rebelscience.org. The good users at Digg got the same submissions and -- oh, wait, the Digg community voted up a bunch of those links too. Well, at least the people at OSnews -- hold on, they published at least one of the same links. Hmmm... I guess democtatic, user driven sites can publish just as much garbage as sites controlled by a small group of editors. The only difference seems to be the the user-driven sites can publish greater volumes of junk in less time.
