Don't mind Slimebeast, he clearly just believes that Turn 10 can do no wrong. Ahh well, I reported him anyways. Regarding the thread, the CNET poll has so few responses that it means almost nothing. Both are multi-million selling franchises, and so far the poll has less than 10,000 responses. Not a big deal.

Oh, they can do wrong, but they didn't do anything wrong in this instance. Influencing a meaningless internet poll with a free nothing is NOT bribery, it's marketing, and it is the actions of 1 man, probably not even a member of the Forza team, AND it is completely and utterly meaningless, hurts no one, and helps a game that he is obviously a big fan of. If not for the fake appauled internet, this would have been a great promotional idea, actually. You don't even have to show proof you vote. You can vote infinite times. Are you kidding me.

Did you know Obama gave free rides to the polls for voters? Ooooo, bribery. To even think this is worth posting about in a way that shows offense, ASTOUNDS me.

I think this thread proves just how much of a golden cow GT to many, many people, and/or how quick people are to jump on the bandwagon of hate without even realizing why they are hating that ENTIRE COMPANY, over the actions of a forum adminstrator, which weren't even bad to begin with.

Montana, it's like me flaming ioi because of that post you just made, except I am a whole community of people, and I don't really mind the post you made, but I'm pretending, because I just wanted to flame VGChartz to begin with and you gave me an excuse.

This is hyped up Sony propoganda, no doubt perpetuated by some pro Sony blogger on Sony fansite N4G.

/end rant /end truth

Did Obama give free rides to the polls for voters or free rides to the polls only for people who will vote for him.

Different situation.

You didn't even have to vote, you just had to say you did....and yes, the buses were sent to areas that were full of people who were going to vote for obama.

Point is,  not only was the bribe here worth far less than a ride across town, the poll was completely meaningless, and even if it wasn't, it is still entirely and completely overblown here. If people didn't love GT, or hate Microsoft, nobody, and I mean nobody would care one iota about this except Forza fans who get a free what, unicorn? In the game?

I agree it is being overblown. Afterall it is obviously a "possible" free item aimed to Forza forum members who are probably Forza fans themselves. If they were GT fans I would expect them to frequent the GT forums.

With the bus however you didn't need to vote for Obama to be granted the free ride.
