go to http://www.ew.com/ew/article/poll/0,6115,185502~10~0~voteforentertainerof,00.html and type in whatever. You will notice a massive amount of votes for Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka. That is the guy who runs www.somethingawful.com and their forum is massive and the people there are determined to get Loxtax in #1 for sure.

Despite massive internet campaigns for people like Wil Wheaton and Steve Gibson... the SA goons seem to be the biggest force on the internet.

I get Entertainment Weekly, and it's going to be the ---- seeing Loxtax in that.

And I congratulate Steve Gibson the security analyst for being second ;)

Yeah, he was Welsey Crusher. The voting is closed and the top 10 are going into another poll starting this friday. As far as I know, Lowtax was still in #1 with almost 600,000 votes.

Wow...if the entertainers of the year include some guy that no one really knows and the insignificant kid on a show that ended years ago that really shows you the credibility of this poll.

This also shows how stupid EW was to make it so susceptible to auto-voters and open voting. I think it's funny.

www.fark.com, www.metafilter.com and a bunch of other bloggy sites made a valiant attempt to get him on there. Beverly Crusher was ugly... I might just have something against redheads though.
