Does she get topless or not? Because that will be the difference between "WIN" and "FAIL".

I voted for BD . The fact that AMD has been very secretive , All the delays and a WR OC to me is nothing but a FAIL to me , Lots of fluff no substance . The rest of the list is not as much to me as this is . Why is SB on there ? That is no were near a fail and as for the political stuff goes WE ALL KNOW THEY HAVE FAILED ! The last one on the list I do not even know what that is .

You have that right . It is a wonder that this planet hasn't gotten sucked into some vortex due to the sucking they are doing .

Yeah having Politicians in the vote makes it a no brainier. Sarah Michelle provides fappin material even clothed. Politicians......very difficult to fap to. I mean I've done it. But its difficult.

I hate to see political talk on forums . It never ends well . So many views on it and not many are good . I view all Politicians as blood sucking leaches much like lawyers . Once they attach to your skin they suck you dry ! America and it's leaders ( If you can call them that ) Have failed to keep to the constitution and this is why we are falling apart .
This is more than I care to say on this matter .

Are we to believe that Sarah Michelle Gellar is the least fail because she is loosing this poll?

after a good, hard thinking session (of 5 minutes), i came to the conclusion that politicians (of croatian variety) cannot be put in the same power of 10 of fail with any of the poll options and therefore voted that sandy bridge failed the hardest.

if the summed fail of the poll options is the size of a golf ball, then the fail of croatian politicians is the size of a local galaxy cluster. believe me, you don't even want to know, if you find out, you'll get baffled thinking how is such stuff even possible.

Politicians. But is it really their fault? Or ours?

"Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber."--Plato

The only way we will get a smart politician in office is after we have been attacked by cylons.

Politicians: Definitely fail

Bulldozer: Probablly fail, but folks who talk too much about Bulldozer (especially with long winded forum postings) are definitely fail.

SMG: She still looks good, but her new show is definitely fail

Sandy Bridge E: No frickin clue, but I'll go with fail.
