digg buried

Holy Taco would like to take a moment to extend our condolences to the family of Miles “DrF33lG00d” Grant, a Digg user we used to work with who tragically died this past week.

Miles was proud of his work on the internet and had a popular rating on Digg of about 55%. He was good for the site, and many other sites, and a joy to work with. Unfortunately, after Digg 4 stripped Miles of his powers, he reacted poorly. A friend shared with us that Miles took the change hard and become very depressed. The day before his death, Miles sent us this message;

Hey Holy Taco,

Listen, Digg is retarded you don’t need me to sub your article no one needs me. I spend 16 hours a day on this goddamn thing and for what? What did they do to me? What did I do to them? Sub your own shit I’m done. Done with everything.

Several hours later, Miles swallowed a mixture of painkillers and alcohol. This week, his funeral was held with other Digg users serving as pallbearers, as per his final request. Miles was dugg down and buried in Dubuque, Iowa.

Rest in Peace, internet soldier.
