"not going to lie, Phoenix is really fucking stupid if they're seriously relying on Inside-Scooter's poll to determine the winner... the results are going to be so biased and inaccurate.
are you guys honestly too lazy to pick a winner? why isn't PHOENIX picking the winner... after all, it is THEIR contest. instead, they're going to have a bunch of 12 year olds vote on Inside Scooters. how pathetic. you do realize that the majority of them aren't even reading the essays, and are just voting for Ladam anyway, despite how incredibly horrible his "essay" is?
sorry Tom, but you're stupid as hell for doing this... the least you could have done was put NUMBERS instead of NAMES... but even then it's still shitty. I'm going to be so pissed if Ladam ends up winning this... and it honestly wouldn't surprise me if he did, considering everything about this sport is a popularity contest. what a fucking joke.
I lost so much respect for this company."
I'm just so heated about this for some reason. I used to have so much respect for Phoenix until they did this bullshit.
They had an awesome contest going, and THIS is how they're going to finish it? wow.
