An awesome one. I would definitely name my dog after an appliance.

Digg founder Kevin Rose throws a raccoon down a stairwell

If it was killing/hurting my dog? I wouldn't feel bad at all for killing it. I'd actually hope to kill it.
Though my dog would probably rip through a raccoon.

I thought that was badass. Racoon shouldn't be messin with peoples dogs or they just might get thrown down a stairwell.....simple as that! haha
oh god I'm dying at this
That guy is a better person than me. If he did that kind of damage to my kitchen, I sure as hell wouldn't be giving it food.

You can tell the raccoon still hasn't figured out how it ended up in the air even after launch. Dude caught it totally by surprise.

I had a buddy who had a raccoon for a while. It was pretty much like this, we'd chill out and bake. Man, that raccoon loved to get high.

Haha.
This almost makes me wish Diggnation was still around, because I'm sure this would have made for a great story.

You sure about that? I didn't think racoons lived around my area, but I saw a family of them pop their heads up from the sewer and walk across a freeway overpass in San Jose....
It would be nice if it could come back at random for old times sake. Both of them had checked the hell out by the end though.

Rose with that Google cash and Albrecht with... that Nerdist cash?
Kevin did announce (just recently) that diggnation would be coming back in 2014, in some way, shape or form.

My first thought.
Fuck raccoons.
Not sure if joke or if lingo didn't translate. Checked out = lost interest.

Sure, I assumed they lost interest because they could make more money doing what they do now. lol
I've probably had one too many at this point, but for the life of me, I couldn't tell you what either does now. Digg went down in flames didn't it? What money does Kevin have? I don't even know what Nerdist is, so I can't say whether Alex had something better to do or not lol.

Kevin made a new start up that was spelt as funnily as Digg, which was promptly bought by Google (which is why I say he has Google cash). Alex is on some youtube show which I believe is part of the Nerdist network.

That's what I thought originally (and would have made it even more hilarious chasing it down the stairs), but it's the same throw captured on two cams.
That raccoon was lucky he is likely inexperienced with raccoons, panicked, and reacted the way he did. Most people who've lost pets, or had damaged property, or had animals killed on account of raccoons would have made sure that raccoon was dead. That said, I would have went in feet first, not getting my face too close to that mangy beast.
This thread has shown me that raccoons can be humorous assholes at least, which is more than I gave them credit for in the past.

This would have played out way better if he just posted the part of him throwing the raccoon down the stairwell with no context. And then when everyone got pissed at him for it, he'd release the part with his dog
Assuming that Oink and Milk are the names of the things he made: I've never heard of either of them. Was that just Google sympathy money for what happened to Digg?
I should check out what Alex is up to.Feet first is definitely the way to go. One little scratch and you're on the way to the hospital for a battery of shots. I'd have punted the little bastard down the stairs instead.
Holy crap! I haven't laughed so hard in a while. This is the funniest Youtube video I've seen this year. I've been in tears with laughter. Just what I needed before going to sleep.
The fact that he lifts the thing up with his legs and chucks it is hilarious. I've seen it 3 times already and find it funnier every time I watch it but it's the chucking motion and the eyes spinning in the darkness that gets me every time. That POS deserves to get chucked.

After a few generations of tamed ones they'd be manageable. Just look at what the russians did to foxes in the sixties. I will have a racoon butler common sense be damned.
Well seeing how he keeps it as a "pet" it's his fault....

Raccoons live around creeks, streams, municipal waterways and the neighborhoods that border them. They eat frogs, crayfish and other animals that live in and around the water. If you live away from waterways you won't see them as much. And if you have big dogs, they're clever enough to stay away.
First time I saw a Raccoon in my neighborhood I thought it was a fat ass cat casually walking down the street. It was dark and as I got closer, I got a bit freaked out because it was becoming obvious it wasn't a cat. It didn't walk like no cat I ever saw. When i finally got close enough to see it's face, I was relieved to see it was a raccoon.
I laughed at this for like 5 minutes straight.

He has a show on youtube after TRS "ended". If it's not Nerdist money, then he's probably got some of that Youtube money. Which, I suppose, is Google money in a way. He presumably has more going on as well though.Assuming that Oink and Milk are the names of the things he made: I've never heard of either of them. Was that just Google sympathy money for what happened to Digg?
Oh right, they were just named funny, not spelt funny. The web 4.0 way!Oink/Milk were spelt funny?
