Digg Buries Banned Mythbusters Episode on Girl Farts

"Do Girls Fart?"  banned Mythbusters episode makes Digg homepage and is immediately taken down.

...yet they'll keep up the episode on lighting your farts on fire.  Go figure. 

In case you missed all the hubbub yesterday our post Do Girls Fart? Banned Mythbusters Episode Part 1 made it to the homepage of Digg.  It received a ton of votes and had a bunch of great comments.  The traffic we received as a result of that post was off the chart.  But... its glory was short lived and it was pulled off the site.  According to Digg support it was deemed as lame even though it had close to 240 positive votes and 40 positive comments.  The irony is, is that the Digg post on the fart lighting episode got to stay.

So, we guess the moral of this story is farting girls are nowhere near as interesting as lighting farts... so much so that it was taken off the site. 

On that note... we decided to take a poll:

If you think the post should be back up on Digg it may be possible to un-bury it.  Go to our original post here or click on the image below and give 'er the ol' thumbs up.  It would be a shame for people to miss out on this hilarious un-airable video in lieu of the folks that don't find girl farts amusing.  It's worth a shot at least.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps to try and bring this Digg post back to life.

Was it because it was a repost?

No... we were for sure the first to post it. We contacted Digg to ask them what happened and they said it was pulled because it was deemed by the public as lame. However, behind the scenes we can see a graph that shows that as soon as it made the home page it was, in fact, pulled instantly and not dugg down. There was a sharp peak in traffic and then it dropped instantly to 0. If it were dugg down as lame the graph would show a downward trend. We've heard theories from others that if Digg feels like it they can pull it... which appears to definitely be the case.
