well, that happened
Three days later, we are still a little dazed after a solid week of memes. We have no idea - none at all - why memes were selected over the Question of the Day. The lone dissenter Mariser said it best. "Some QotD's are clever, others interesting, but memes are neither." The responsibility for last weeks debacle lies squarely in our court, by which we mean: we should have known better than to trust the ignorant littles with a vote. There's a reason hotrod.vox.com has been run historically with an iron fist. The littles can't be trusted to mind the goddamn store. Seriously, we give yinz an inch and look what happens. It's bedlam. As we return to our regularly scheduled programming starting tomorrow, it's safe to say we have effectively closed the book on any future gestures toward democracy. Rejoice, for the oligarchy has been restored. L'État, c'est nous.
