I think it is has a couple factors.

First, a guy who found a site that does not have a lot of articles from it that are submitted and someone who found that the esquire is a major booster of karma.(I guess it matters to some people)

Secondly, on the weekends it only takes a few up-votes for a story to reach the front page.

All the stories were submitted by the same guy, a 3 day old account who's also submitted fastcompany, popularmechanics, and similar sites.

Are all those magazines published by the same company?

Esquire and Popular Mechanics are published by Hearst, but that's the only commonality, and enough IMO to be a coincidence.
