--- Quote from: jwhouk on 26 Jan 2010, 22:55 ---Well, poll is supposedly over, and somehow Perry Bible Fellowship ended up with an ungodly percentage of the vote - and about 140,000 votes were cast in the last 24 hours.
It's not a popularity contest; it's about whose followers can hack into the poll server and manipulate the results.

It's probably being doctored by the Washington Post to lend a semblance of credibility to their readership.
Imagine one morning, they arrive at work, and check the state of their polls. They find LICD holding a huge portion of the votes. They did the only thing they could do - change it so PBF and Kate Beaton are winning, and then blanked the whole incident from their minds forever. It's the only way they could retain their sanity.

We humbly bow to your superior knowledge, oh great one.
Now can you nail that angie123 spambot with a Buick fixation to the ground like a jackhammer to concrete?

--- Quote from: Binary on 26 Jan 2010, 11:24 ---I have rectified my sin of voting in this poll by the simple expedient, over dinner, of voting once for every other comic on the list. Yes, they're so dumb they didn't check for multiple votes from the same IP address.
--- End quote ---
I don't think the Post needed to do anything - just a few PBF fans finding out what Binary found out will do the trick!
Just one of the many problems with a poll like this!
