I agree 100% - this type of polling just trivializes the election. The results are meaningless. I don't even think it's funny.

Indeed it does trivialize things. Perhaps that's what I like the least about it.

Buying a product is a vote too. So if you don't buy a product, you're not voting for the company that sells it.

This may just be another case of sphaghetti-on-the-wall marketing: let's see if it sticks.

711 is doing a similar thing with cups.

What can I say: desperation is the mother of all things bizarre. (:

I hadn't seen the 7-11 thing yet. Yes, it is probably the 'try anything' approach to marketing. But it makes it hard for me to take them seriously. Seems more like something the local party shop would do.

Here's the link for the 711

I feel the same way Todd. It is just doing whatever to attract customers ... amazing what folks will do!
