The Polls on CNN - April 12, 2007 -

Ashwin | Humor, Perspective

I frequent CNN.com (yeah, yeah) during the day to get a gist of the daily news and one of the things I’ve noticed is the little poll on the bottom of the page that is usually somehow related to the biggest story on the page.

Curiously, I’ve found that the possible answers either have you agreeing with or going against the gist of the story. I, always, seem to want a third option of “I really could care less” or similar. This was especially true during all the fuss over Anna Nicole Smith.

I would imagine that if you’re going to create a poll, you should also have an option to ridicule the poll itself.

Cheers
