h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This entry would really be helpful to voters if it gave an objective opinion. Being disguised as such a resource makes it decieptful (sp?). Being neutral myself I think this page is unfair to the voters.

That, and there are so many more HORRIBLE things you could have said about the Masque!

-a member of the H2G2 villain's syndicate, STUMPED
-one of his campaigners kidnapped the Celery
-wants to install H2G2 thought police
-tried to bribe voters with wine illegally brewed on someone else's property
-has built himself a statue which would be bad enough as a display of ego but...
-the statue contains a nuclear device which he plans to use to destroy H2G2 if he doesn't win!

Of COURSE it isn't objective!

This voting guide was put out by the Friends of Celery/Webjello 2000 (It even says so very clearly there in the fine print at the bottom), so naturally they would favor their own candidate. Just like voting guides that you get in RL elections, there's always a point of view.

However, to the best of our knowledge, everything on this page is true, and as you have pointed out, we have left out much of the truly horrible stuff about a number of the candidates to spare their feelings.

Besides, when you're talking about the Masque that way, he actually prefers bad things to be said about him -- and you know, as I think about it right now, perhaps the Masque isn't that bad, certainly not right for Virtual Prez, but is kind of nice, pleasant even, and almost, but not quite, cute.

You haven't got everything right, RB...
