The worst poll of all time

[UPChip]

Step right up, SJers and put your money on which one of these 10 Muskegon-area girls bowlers has the best shot at the state championship this weekend!

Poll: Which Muskegon-area girls bowler has the best shot to win a state title?

And here I was looking for some place to rant about SportsCenter interviewing Jimmy Smits ... but there's a media outlet having a slower news day!

That's pretty bad. Surprisingly, there are more than 1,500 votes. Those girls are going to wear their wrists out voting for themselves all week.

The dumbest poll of all-time

The fact that this poll received more than 1,500 votes indicates it probably got quite a few online clicks. Which is all that matters anymore.

4,468 votes.

One of the largest papers here does polls (and photo galleries) for everything. The swimmer who made the biggest impact at the county championships may not have actually swam (swum?) an event, and most likely didn't win any. But s/he rounded up friends to click over and over again.

I saw this from a college colleague and former Detroit News reporter who suggested it be shared to Reddit to celebrate its inanity, so I think that probably has a lot to do with it.

Obligatory "which one is your kid" post.

I'm waiting for the "Which area girls basketball player is most likely to tear an ACL?" poll.

How can I vote if there are no photos?

12K votes now. Grand Haven's Meagan Batka is in the lead.

Poor Kendra Shuitema.

Out of 16,496 votes cast, she only has 33. That's got to do a lot for a teenager's self confidence.

The paper's readership is costing her a scholarship.

Good for her. Way to show all the haters.

She told those krauts at the league office a million times she doesn't click on Shabbos.
