Bad Joke Popularity Contests

The Web 2.Ohh contest for who was the hottie was of course a joke.  Looks like our very own Julia French has won, 8,647 to 814 at present count.  For the record, I communicated clearly on my internal blog not to script to cheat, and I'm not sure where such enthusiasm came from.  But this is bullshit on several levels.  For one, there is no prize.  For two, contestants are not public figures who should not be thrown into ring without their consent.  Three, cheap traffic trick.   Sure, it is all fun, but did I mention this is bullshit?

Hot or Not should be opt-in, especially when others profit from it.
