The more perceptive among you may have noticed that not only is the poll filled with uninfluential people, but their first names spell ‘Marblecake, also the game’

Did someone game it very precisely and is trying to tell us something in the most cryptic way possible?

Erm... yes, but I don't think I really need to tell you who would fix an online poll to make moot win. ALSO THE GAME was pretty great, though.

Probably just showing off Time's incompetence. Also sliding in "The Game" for added lulz. TheGamerolled?

Bwahaha.

It makes it really difficult trying to argue that people on a webforum should shut the fuck up about 4chan when Time Magazine and the New York Motherlovin' Times won't shut the fuck up about 4chan.

Still leaving the word filters up, though.

Yes.

Incidentally, the person who did it is apparently Zombocom. You can do anything at Zombocom.

I saw this a few days ago, I laughed pretty hard. I'm still unsure even after googling it how Tina Fey made 15.

People gaming online polls is about as shocking as being surrounded by air.

Time really should have learned by now. This isn't the first time this has happened.

I feel nauseated just reading that and thinking about how much time they wasted to do that.
