When they say, “Thanks for voting us best Blah blah blah” Who are they talking about? Who voted? When did they vote? What was the criteria for getting to vote? How come no one ever asked ME which laundromat in town is the best? How come no one ever bothered to get my take on the “Valley’s best seafood!”? What if I don’t agree at all with their pick of the best Veterinary doctors in the county?
I want to know why I’m never consulted about these decisions! I think people should know they are being deceived! They drive around, satisfied in the knowledge that the whole city got together and voted on their most favorite taco stand and it turns out I was never even asked!
And furthermore, what if I’m not the ONLY one they missed? What if it turns out that they missed a whole city block and those people are all driving around going, “Wait a minute, I don’t recall anyone asking ME what I would vote for in the contest for Seattle’s best plumber! What’s going on here!?” But then they’re embarrassed and they don’t want to seem like they’re out of the loop, so they pretend. They go along. They’re like, “Oh yeah. That place. I voted so hard for that place! That place has the BEST coffee ever! That’s like, the ONLY place I ever go.”
They just overcompensate because they’re embarrassed about not being asked and they want to be included and “in the know” so they fake it.
It’s a conspiracy! It’s a sham.
We should all write our congressmen.
I know that in january the shops here will be full of products voted best of 2010. How do they do that? If they can vote forwards in time perhaps we can look up the lottery results too?
That’s right! How do all those car companies decide who has the best chassis of 2010 when the year hasn’t even begun yet, much less ended?
