What makes you think we _didn’t_ read the OP? Some people are just defiant by nature.

It’s like it knows, or something.

On edit: Wait, now it says I feel compelled … but do I? This is so freaky.

Some people seem to have voted for both “please do not select this option” and “cows eat grass”. It’s like they’re not taking the thing seriously.

I feel compelled to post in this thread in order to tell the world that I didn’t answer this poll.

Blue is the real answer I’m quite sure.

Is this a test of some sort to see if people automatically click on polls without really reading them?

I like check boxes. They’re pretty when they’re checked! Yes, no, I don’t know? I like grass, does that make me a cow?

I question the personal motives, intelligence and character of those who selected an option other than the one I selected.

I’m sorry but I’m really seeing no content here. If you would like to start a poll about the uselessness of polls, or something, please go ahead — and be a little more straightforward about your intentions.
