Yep, and you can tell the people saying he was attractive must be men because they can't detect what any woman would. He looks like a slow-witted, flatulent frat-boy and I'll bet his behaviour was even more whiney and entitled then. He still had Daddy around to pull him out of any situation. If I was his age, I'd have rejected him before he crossed the room to say hello.

Alright #SNL, solid Rob Ford burn. #TOpoli

"Ford said rehab was just like football camp, because both were things he wanted to quit before finishing 12 steps."

If he's attractive then I really have to wonder why I'm single.

The fact that 42 % of any demographic would find him attractive is rubbish. It's either doctored or there's a serious problem in the heads of Sun readers.

Or all the people who voted were men.

Women have had to put up with such rating systems for a very long time but it still doesn't give me any comfort to see the tables turned.
 
Oh, wait, are we talking about a Sun poll?

We also have to account for Neil Flagg voting, clearing his cookies, then voting again hundreds and hundreds of times.
 
I'm sorry, I know quoting your own tweets is wading heavily into douchebag territory, but I really couldn't resist.

basically, THIS.

These types of polls are basically a popularity contest; it's not about actually answering the question honestly. Lots of straight guys voted for Ford because they wanted him to win. they didn't even consider the question on merit.

I'm a fan of tennis player Roger Federer, and on his website forum, some fans kept urging everyone to vote Federer as the 2013 player of the year on some stupid sports website poll. Now I love Fed and will always support him, but no way was he "player of the year" in 2013; he only won one title and dropped out of the top 5 for the first time in 10 years. Was he my favourite player of 2013? Yes. Was he the best? Of course not. But fans don't care -- they support their guy.

However, that doesn't apply to the "hottest women" section of the poll.
Judging women on their appearance is taken veeerrryy seriously in our society. No "let's support the one we like (as a human being) the best," will be found there.
 
The polling about Rob Ford's ' " attractiveness" reminds me of my psychology class in high school. We were asked to rate ourselves on a scale of one to ten. All the girls picked numbers like sixes and sevens, all of the guys picked 10. It was very revealing.
