Subject: First Impression Comedy Partnership

Written By: Patrick on 11/16/02 at 08:12 p.m.

I dont mean to be like the voting police here, but 40 votes is a lot for one week, and much less with a 4.7 rating all the way through.

Yeah, but if you read it carefully, you will find it is very well written, the pacing is almost perfect, and the words and rhymes are very similar to the original...  It's those kind of parodies that get a lot of votes

...but it's not exactly funny, is it?  Certainly there's much better parodies out there getting a fraction of the votes (and worse numbers, too)

I guess so... I thought it was funny, but that's just me... it all depends on the person voting, I guess..

Or members of busy BBSs or forums which vote favourably: I know that my friends tend to be my most critical voters...

sorry.. but I checked it.. this one had about 30 votes from the same person... so I deleted all the votes and I'm re-running the vote script for today.. I hate when people insist on not playing by the rules..

How is that possible though?  Can't you only vote once per computer on a song?

Actually there is a way, if you reboot windows or add a new virous protection and computer password, I realized this when i had to do this to my lap-top, you can actually vote numorous times, but I have infact never done this :)...
