Google McDigg Born
San Francisco - Today a new corporation was born when Digg was sold to Google at 11:45 AM. Sources report that the company was sold for $1 plus other considerations, but our sources would not hint at what the other considerations were.

famed comedian/actress Ellen DeGeneris. "We wanted someone famous, but our first choice of George Carlin was unavaible and Robin Williams declined.", stated the spokesman. Sources close to Kevin Rose said that Bill Cosby was asked to make the formal announcement, but our phone call to the world's most famous father received the reply "Mr. Cosby was never asked to make the announcement, besides he doesn't need the money that bad."
The Google spokesman made the announcement that the new company name for Digg will be McDigg. "It's a harmless steal from McDonald's restaurants," said the spokesman, "but they don't mind - they can use all the free advertising they can get now-a-days." The spokesman went on to say that the new logo of McDigg will be none other than Kevin Rose as Google McDigg. "We most likely could have gotten Erin Moran, ex-Happy Days star, or Stephen Erkel to do the new logo... but they both wanted too much money." It is now rumored that secret dealings are underway with Coors and Budweiser to use the McDigg poster child in their ads.
