Digg.com Hijack by Conspiracy Theorists

Something should be done.

The URL for one of Jones' websites (infowars, I think) was blocked at one point, along with a bunch of others. People complained, and a bunch were unblocked, including the one Jones site. Since then, it's been a pretty steady stream of BS...

And of course, like clockwork, they will spam to fight the imaginary censorship and in the process, will be blocked for spamming. They will then claim censorship. Repeat.

They are the architects of their own demise. That said, let them do what they want.

Pne cannot help but simultaneously laugh, cry, and marvel at the level of lunacy one needs to have reached to (a) spend every waking moment manipulating an online ratings system, and (b) being stupid enough to then write about it on a public forum, thus displaying the dishonesty and manipulation involved.

Don't forget (c) thinking it's going to make a shred of difference in the world. It's comical how seriously Alex Jones, Dylan Avery, and their followers take their Google Video rankings. Especially when you consider the vacuousness of everything else that gets into these rankings.

Alex Jones simultaneously tells his readers to artificially inflate his ratings, complains that Google throws out his counts, alleges that Google Video pulls videos for political reasons, and boasts about his rankings on Google Video. Congratulations, Alex, you've invented quadruplethink.

Google Video could put an end to Alex Jones using them as his free promotion/credibility service by requiring a video to be watched at least halfway before it counts as a "view." It's absurd that these rankings treat views the same with no regard to the video's length. I don't think the number of people who sat through a tedious 90-minute conspiracy documentary is the same as the number of people who watched a four-second clip of a guy getting hit in the head with a soccer ball.

Well, I got called a 'government shill' on Digg for discussing (not attacking, mind you) Loose Change. Do I get my JREF/NWO Conspirabadge now? Or do I still need to get banned from the LCF?
