pryomancer Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Although I'd root for Green Day to win the Best Act Ever award, I'd be perfectly happy for Rick Astley to win it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemathonical Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 C'mon, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera? Already the 'Best Act Ever' is a joke. I want ol' Rick to win. I voted :) ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Britney Spears Britney Spears is the RIAA-ranked 8th Best-Selling Female Artist In American History. Well if she's only eighth, why is she nominated? Christina Aguilera One of the most accomplished performers of the last decade, shes sold well over 25 million albums. The Dark Side of the Moon alone has sold more than she has in her whole career. I voted Green Day. I'm not voting for someone from St. Helens.

Mercifull Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Without Rick Astley the vote is even more of a joke. At least getting him to win it might be worth watching. I voted btw.

warren211 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Woohoo, it worked! I voted several times for Rick myself and now I'm gonna vote some more. It would be amazing to rick roll the music awards, it'll be all over the interwebs and youtube and every major place of the web. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

scootlaboot Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I wonder if the people at MTV realize that this is a joke?.. :-k They probably do, but can't remove him due to certain rules and regulations. If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.

SwordKing Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Heh, I was the one to post it on this forum, it was found inappropriate though, too bad :( viewtopic.php?f=10&t=762406 Anyway, I posted it on some other forums too, and one smart guy made a script to automate the voting, resulting in a vote almost every second, which could easily add up to 1 800 votes a minute with 30 tabs running, meaning when you let it run for an hour, it would already add up to 108 000 votes! That's with 30 tabs running though, which could lag your computer up a lot. I know some people who did it, for a few days. Those votes really did help, I believe.
