DU THIS POLL!! MSNBC Academy Awards/Political Poll

[bspence]

The headline makes you think that it's just some poll asking if you're going to watch the Academy Awards, but then it devolves into a survey of whether it's ok for Hollywood to make gay films, if it's ok to make a political acceptance speech, if movies reflect American values. Surprisingly, it's a Zogby poll. Which makes me think it's going to be broadcast as a scientifically valid survey, despite the fact that it's an INTERNET POLL!! Internet polls always suck, because I can come here and get like minded people to come to the web site and take the poll and skew the results.

Well, before the freepers get involved, here's the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11618750/

PLEASE take the poll. Thanx

3. I took it but didn't like the choices

The question about the number of gay themed movies nominated being because a) hollywood's values or b) america's increased tolerance of alternate lifestyles. I don't think tolerence has increased in this country the last few years. I think these movies were made because they are trying to fight a decrease in tolerance.

I got a kick out of who would you call to babysit your kids. I answered George Clooney. My kids are 20 & 22. Out of Reese witherspoon, Michelle Williams, Matt Dillon or Clooney, he would be more fun to have visit my house.

6. George has a backup career now!

Me too, mine are 20 and 22 also but I would welcome Mr. Clooney anytime. That was an odd question.

[emulatorloo]

14. He's babysitting for me too, and Charlize Theron is changing my tire

Question must be left over from some Bush likeability poll.

[City Lights]

15. I chose Clooney too!

Although a better option would have been Reese Witherspoon watching the kids, while George and I... :evilgrin:

[PassingFair]

35. Hahahaha! That was my FAVORITE question too!

Of the following nominees, which one would you ask to baby-sit your children?

George Clooney ALL THE WAY.

I can picture him reading to my kids!

And when they're sound asleep.........

33. "Of the following nominees,"

"who do you believe would be most likely to stop and help you if you were stranded in the desert with a flat tire?


Heath Ledger

Joaquin Phoenix

Charlize Theron

Felicity Huffman

Not sure

Refuse"

I really wanted to say Charlize, but I know Heath would probably help...

So what the fuck is a question like that supposed to mean?

Who the hell runs this poll now? Is it 'Focus on Family' or something?
Are they going to lynch Heath Ledger?

And hopefully MSNBC doesn't get the results I'm sure they're hoping for.

BTW, it felt awfully good checking Very Liberal/Progressive in the question about your political views. :)

31. Holy Shite! I don't always respond to "DU this poll", but THIS

thing was a travesty!

This was as close to a 'push-poll' as I've ever seen online!
