Prompted by this piece of (not so fresh) news on the official site
Instead I got this:
"Thanks for voting!
Feel free to VOTE AGAIN!"
Err. I obediently clicked again, eager to help the guys gain the upper hand, arm, or even torso, and the same message kept reappearing. I was on the same computer, same browser window open, didn't bother closing the tab, assiduously stored all my cookies, and I even have a static IP to boot. While it's true that I recently probably scored a few points with several gods by making fun of the hilarious ian.de, I doubt this is God's way of telling me he loves the Gothenburg sound.
The only possible conclusion is that MTV2's poll is about as irrelevant as the network, and the end result will show once and for all whose band has the most Internet-savvy fans (clearly they're also morons for exploiting the voting mechanism with some sort of bot, but I better skip this part lest I show my gigantic ignorance as to how this would work in practice).
To this, the Dark Tranquillity forum shall reply with its own round of voting, based on the very same rules MTV2 suggested (i.e., none).
Vote now for your favourite DT forum videos of 2007!
- Dark Tranquillity, "Focus Shift" [current votes: five million]
- Britney Spears, "Gimme, gimme" [current votes: five]
EDIT: Thread ends when voters are bored.
I set off to be a good citizen and braved the trendy seas of MTV number who cares to reach the fabled page where democracy was supposed to work at its finest. After clicking enthusiastically on the black box (thus turning it a hip shade of pink, no less!) trying to ignore the fact that the MTV tab was screwing with Firefox, I was expecting a bleak message commenting my uncool choice.
