    That's right. FOX News is too hot for ... well, the internet?

    The popular Digg.com faced a minor rebellion after it pulled a satirical video called "FOX News Porn", compiled from FOX News clips and asserting coverage ratios against CNN and MSNBC (more Anna Nicole Smith than CNN, less Iraq war than MSNBC). Here's a great quote alleged of an email exchange between the video's makers (Brave New Films) and Digg administrators:

    As for Digg, after the dispute spawned an uprising in which users insistently reposted the banned link, administrators reconsidered and relented:

    Many thanks and much appreciation to Digg administrators for doing the right thing.

    And yes, it seems at least slightly ironic that FOX News content is too sexy for the internet.
