I hate to burst your bubble but this has been on 4chan since the original MTV vote for nominations was out.


yes, I know... and on reddit (which is where I picked up on it) and it originated on the UG forums, this wasn't a question on the origins of the nomination idea, it was on how to deal with the media attention as a result of spearheading the voting effort.

I'm not saying, nor have I ever said it was my idea, I've just helped focus the chaos.

By the way, I actually know the vote totals so far (from someone at MTV who reached out to me) and can quite comfortably say that the tool on our site has contributed to a significant amount to that number (which I can't disclose), given I know how many we've also done.
