^ The response of some angry diggersNEW YORK: Protests by diggers turned violent in front of the offices of the DIGG HQ today.
More than 15,000 people from across the country descended on the Digg building to express their disgust and offense at the omittance of 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 in a story that made the front page on Tuesday.
Said one protester: "Digg is destroying our inalienable rights of freedom. We are joining thousands of atheists in exercising our right to protest when Digg prints a story that misrepresents our cherished beliefs."
Digg protests mirror the world-wide protests by atheists against the printing of blank cartoons.
The atheists' protests turned violent after Digg administrators started blocking them.
"We came here to peacefully express our disgust with the insensitivity of the Digg administrators," one of the protest organizers said.
"You cannot blame a highly emotionally charged crowd for killing ten reporters after they added insult to injury. Setting fire to the Digg building was simply a natural progression of events," he continued.
The protesters calmed down after an explosion on the fifth floor of the building sent thousands of encrypted hard drives fluttering down into the street.
The protesters were seen leaving the scene, each clutching 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 f in their hands.
