My second reaction was somewhat of a surprise because I have always thought of Reddit as being one of the most extreme/radical pop communities. Around the time Reddit was bought, the top stories were often about Ron Paul, NSFW, along with a lot of preaching to the choir – most of which I dont associate at all with the more scholarly nature of the PBS brand.

The quote takes a cheap digg at Digg(nation) but even Digg which is not exactly the most sophisticated audience is however less extreme than the Reddit audience.

As of right now, the top stories on Reddit:

1

A link to a non-profound political Cartoon

2

McCain Backer Hagee Said Hitler Was Fulfilling God’s Will (AUDIO) “John Hagee, the controversial evangelical leader and endorser of Sen. John McCain, argued in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God’s behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine. According to the Reverend, Adolph Hitler was a “hunter,” sent by God, who was tasked with expediting God’s will of having the Jews re-establish a state of Israel.”

The quest for every bead type. “I’ve been growing a beard every winter for some years now, and every spring, I try to see how many facial hair variations as I can check off from the chart of facial hair types. Listed below are descriptions of the 34 facial hair types from the chart, including examples of the 19 variations that I’ve been able to attain so far.”

Anyway, after all this, I still think its neat.
