I was feeling all warm towards AOL two days ago, cuz their "front page" story was about dissatisfied soldiers in Iraq and how one soldier even made his own "Most Wanted" card deck, putting on it Cheney, Rumsfield and Bush, among others, which I thought was rad.

This has been a big week for news, and I will write more about it later, but first I would like to share with you, gentle readers, AOL's combo poll of the day (today). what the fuck??

What do you think of shooting nude women with paintballs?

45% It's disturbing and exploitative 60,569
29% It sounds fun 38,990
26% It's not my cup of tea, but it doesn't bother me 34,200
Total votes: 133,759



Which phrase would turn up most on a cat translator?

41% "Sigh... you humans are so beneath me" 49,073
25% "Where's my chow?" 30,070
18% "Hey how 'bout a quick scratch on the chin?" 21,994
16% "I love you" 18,970
Total votes: 120,10

I think snopes is currently listing that paintball chick story as "probably not true," which was a huge relief for me when I heard.

yeah. that would have been pretty fucked up if it were true, but honestly what disturbed me more was the content of the AOL poll, considering what thehell is going on with, oh, i don't know, BushCo, West Africa, etc. i know i sound like a always-serious, no-fun leftie, but there could be FUN polls about Bush. i will think up one later today and then people can vote.

um

i raced over to my aol welcome window but didn't see either story and didn't have the heart to look further. it hardly matters whether the paintball story is true or not as I assume the poll is. god i wish i had some serious drugs right about now.

word and word.

I think you're missing the point. The point is: Which 3 naked women would you MOST want to shoot with paintballs?
My top 3 are Ann Coulter, Catherine McKinnen, and Tara Reid.

Hmmm....actually, I can see really wanting to shoot those naked women with actual bullets, and just save the paintballs for Laura Bush and the Bush twins.
