    Um, you said "most of America" has watched the video, not "most of the sportstwo.com Blazer board. Or is your plan to have all of America vote in this thread?

    Did somebody get their feelings hurt? Please make the mean man go away. :lol:

    Strawman arguments because somebody is butthurt are fun!

    Here is what I posted to warrant this poll being created.

    Reading is fundamental. Perhaps you should be in summer school?

    That's true. You said most of America. That, I do not believe either. More than 50% of America have probably never even heard of her.

    Of course it is true that under 50% of Americans have watched the video. Only 30% of Americans watch the Super Bowl, for Pete's sake.

    A poster not having an emotional temper tantrum that lead to him creating a poll that has nothing to do with what I said would be able to see this. I think it's the guilt he's feeling within himself over repeatedly watching a woman having her privacy invaded. :)

    Yeah, it sure is, isn't it? The lack of commas seems so odd, yet it's OK. I had to read it more than once to udnerstand it, and I wrote it. :)

    Thanks for sharing that, Ed. The producers are resorting to nitpicking my posts for suspect grammar. Substantive stuff, esquire. :devilwink:

    So far, 13 people (all Americans? Not sure.) have voted Yes. 3 have voted no. I haven't voted, and another poster cast the wrong vote.

    Still waiting to hear from the other 303,824,624 Americans before we can call this one. Should be a long night.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    They are? Well, then, I need to get in on this action. I refuse to be left out.

    You wrote: "So far, 13 people (all Americans? Not sure.) have voted Yes."

    There shouldn't be a period after "Not sure" since it was a parenthetical note within a sentence. The question mark was correct because it was required to indicate a question.

    Actually, the period is fine since it's an answer to the question in the parenthetical. A conversation within another sentence. A question, followed by an answer, and then back to the sentence. The "Not Sure" is the actual problem in the sentence as it is a fragment, but intent was obviously derived by you, since you did not mention it in your post.

    Not the case. Sentences with a period shouldn't be inside a parenthetical within a sentence. Question marks and exclamation points are okay simply for the sake of tone (making the note questioning or excited), but periods only belong in a parenthetical if it's not within a sentence. (Like so.)

    Here, if you don't believe me:
