Cutie Contest?

I'm seeing these things all over the place... I had to say something... The "Cutest Face" contest. The "Best Booty" contest. Seems like fun. There's just one problem. The cutest face never wins. Why? Because that's not how the contest is played. The real object of the game is to see who can get the most friends to come over and "comment bomb" the photo they submitted. At the end, you pick a winner, and her photo never played a part. I won't use names to spare any feelings, but just the other day I got a shout from a friend on my list that I tried to talk to several times and eventually gave up. The shout was coming MY way this time though, and it was a mass paste shout asking me to come over and "rate and comment the shit out of" her picture in one of those contests so she could win. I replied, "Is that really how you want to win?" She didn't reply. She didn't ask me to participate in the voting in general, or just come check it out. No, she provides a direct link to her photo specifically. I looked at it, looked at the others, and then picked the one I thought was best and rated and left a comment accordingly. Then, looking at the photos again, I saw the number of rates and comments. The original spammer was of course winning by a ridiculous landslide. It must be because she really was the cutest... either that or she sent that shout to over 65 people. Is that really how these girls should win these things? Does it even matter what photo you submit when that's how you play the game? Even the people that host these things usually PERMIT that kind of behavior. So what does it matter what photo they send? Hey look! You won the "MILF" contest because you got the most ratings and comments! Nine contestants and you came out on top! Congratulations! Too bad you actually come somewhere around fifth in the available competition... (I'm not talking about a specific contest I saw, that was just fiction with a purpose) So, therefore, I have a new idea for a contest. Let's make it real and honest, shall we? Everyone submits a photo of their name on an index card. No face, no booty. Just their name, written on an index card with the camera zoomed up to show nothing but the name. Then, we post them all against each other, and title it, "BEST SPAMMER CONTEST"! At least then, the winner will be winning for the right reason.
