Excellent! The Simpson’s Mr. Burns Won NYC Write-In Votes for Mayor

Not happy with the current candidates for mayor? Why not write-in your choice? The National Ledger has a list of the top write-in vote getters for the New York City mayoral election … and the winner is:

Mr. Burns from ‘The Simpsons’ notched 25 write-in votes on Election Day for New York mayor. The Simpsons favorite character to hate, Homer Simpson’s billionaire boss, collected the most write-in votes for NYC Mayor.

More good stuff from Gotham’s mayoral election and the angry voters trying to make a point, according to the New York Daily News, "Rodney Dangerfield, who died in 2004, received a write-in vote."

Mad Magazine icon Alfred E. Newman, Fantastic Four arch-villain Victor Von Doom, Mickey Mouse, and Sleeping Beauty also received write-in.

    If only ONE “blog” had an actual journalist on their staff they would have been able to report that the REASON why Mr. Burns got so many votes was because of a spoof that circulated around the internet that claiemd to be a campaign video for Mr. Burns for Mayor of NY City.

    But why bother with actual journalism and research when you are a blog? It is not like anyone takes you seriously to begin with.

    I’ve been seeing this story around, but just noticed today, that the actual number of votes was 25. Hardly a landslide majority.
