I am so sorry

This all begun a few days ago.

I was looking around on http://digg.com, and came across an interesting submission showing how to fool google’s news system. Me being the curious person I am, read the article and proceeded to try it. Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I am the biggest google fanboy ever. I mean hell, I even dressed up as Larry Page (Google him :) for halloween. Wanting to fool a few friends, I submitted an article using the method that was provided. I entered my email (tom.vendetta@gmail.com, go ahead spam it… my internet life is over anyway =’[ ). I never got any email from the news website, so I figured it never went through. I used all fake information and forgot about it. It wasnt until around 10:35 pm that I received an instant message from MAKEBot ( a bot that sends the latest digg posts ) what did I see? “Google Hires 15 year old”.

To all the digg users, I am sorry for making you think this was true. I never intended for it to be submitted. I never intended for anyone besides my friends to find it.

To google, I am sorry for making a false claim and I can only hope that this will help resolve the bug, so that no one else does something like I did, because they will end up regretting it, as I am now.

I geuss all my dreams and hopes of getting a job at Google have officially been demolished.

I geuss everything else has been demolished. I just tryed signing onto my aim screename, and geuss what? I got so many messages it crashed aim.exe. GREAT!

To wrap things up:

I AM SORRY.

Thank you for listening , and I truley do apologize.
