1579

Well that was a fun trip. Congrats to all the winners of the VGAs. It was an honor to be nominated and perhaps in a year or two we may be a real contender ourselves. Also thanks to everyone who voted for us and said so many flattering things about our goofy website. Speaking of goofy...

- Sprint + Nextel
- Wal-Mart electronics coming
- Dead fly fuel
- Hire a wingman, see boobies

Lastly, Blockbuster realizes late fees suck!

    it was never ever based on votes, though.

      or maybe they actually allowed only one vote per IP?

        the votes never ever mattered.
        
        Whether we got 1 vote or 1 billion, the winner was picked by their panel (ie arbitrarily).
        
        The votes were just a fun thing they let people do, hence why they even said to vote as much as you like.

        fine. But if the votes did matter, what we did would be undeserved too, dont you think?

    It's one thing for us to stuff the ballot box, its another thing to just decieve people and pick a winner because they've sponsored the event.
