Cool or Dorky?!?

Friday, July 13, 2007

Final Update 7/13: Final count is 13-cool, 7-dorky, so its obviously clear that Muslims aren't ready for democracy. But seriously, since the voting was so close, there seems to be a need for a tie-breaker. I didn't want to do this, but I'll have to cast my vote. As the owner of this blog, my vote is worth hmmmm...let me pick some random number...7...yeah, its worth 7 votes. So that makes the real final count - 14-dorky, 13-cool. The masses have spoken, the dorks win! Wait, that didn't come out right...

Update 7/10: Sadly, it seems my readership consists of a bunch of 80's rejects - next you people will tell me that Smurfette was cute. So far I count 11 'cool/awesome' comments and only 5 'dorky' comments. If things don't change in the next day or so, I will be forced to cancel the vote and declare martial law on my blog. Hey, I am a Muslim after all...and that's how we solve problems.

A friend sent me this video (link) below claiming it was both cool and dorky.

I say there's nothing cool about it - its ALL dorky.

He says I’m the dork.

So we can settle it by asking you all to judge (whether the video is dorky, not me). And I reserve the right to delete comments/votes if I see the overall trend contradicting my opinion.

Oh and if you think a transformer is a device used to transfer electrical energy by way of magnetic coupling, please don't vote.



After its all said and done, I think we all can agree that this dude is 100% pure dork.

End Post.

This vote is a sham, no credibility because MrESPY is a 1st rate liar, he's the one who sent the video initially to the masses telling everyone how cool it was. I demand a recount.

Now now Arif, lets keep the sibling rivalry to the semi-annual Patel family Eid gatherings.

We're trying to have a serious referendum on a very mature topic. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't taint the reputation of this vote.

And don't even think about stuffing the ballot with Anonymous votes ....I'm tracking IP addresses! :-P

COOL DUDE! PUT ME IN ONE OF THOSE. WE ALL HAD TRANSFORMERS GROWING UP IN THE 80'S. COULD BE DORKY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. HEY ANYTHING TO MARKET A MOVIE #1 AT THE BOX OFFICE THIS WEEKEND. DON'T PLAN TO SEE IT. NOT INTRESTED AS I WAS 20 + YRS AGO.

Ummm, I've rethought my position and have decided that this dude is not dorky but rather disturbed! Oh, and if this "jason" who posted the comment "that...was...AWESOME" is the same guy who changed his middle name to Megatron, his vote shouldn't count! If he had chosen Optimus Prime instead, I wouldn't have issue with it! What has the world come to when one aligns oneself with evilness so purposefully? Although, Megatron is a pretty cool name for a bad guy! :-)

I can't believe I just wasted my time downloading this (it takes a while here in Pakistan). Naeem, don't worry about this vote count losing its credibility - 'cause your whole blog just did! :)

Pretty cool if you're a kid and like Transformers. Non fans or Adults may think it's dorky. The kid in all of us would think that's pretty cool.

if i didnt just see the movie a few days ago i wouldve thought that was cool.....it was a waste of time,yet oddly entertaining knowing that those people probably spent countless hours working on those costumes to get everything just right....all for a 2 minute clip.

ps.you should all go see transformers,it was great.

How do you enter a locked house?

with a DOOR-KEY, which is what these guys are. Of course, cool people would never vote on this ludicrousness, so you're all dorks, too. So am I; embrace it.
