Matt, I see what you mean about the poll (very supernatural skewed). But I'm not sure it's "funny stuff". Most of the other people in that poll are from kids shows that I've never seen (and therefore not cool to me). And out of the Supernatural boys, Tom Welling, America Ferrera and Hayden Panettiere, I know I like the Supernatural boys the best--snarky, cute, on a cult show--the very definition of cool.
If you don't want it so Supernatural biased, have some options from other cult shows that have fans with passionate opinions (BSG, Veronica Mars, Lost, or some other Heroes like Milo or Masi).

Hiro Nakamura aka Masi Oka should have been on the list along with Katee Sackoff or another popular female over the age of 18.

Point taken.
I did not compile the list of options, FYI, but I can see the individual tallies on my end, and it's rather disappointing that such an impassioned fan group isn't confident in their voice being heard via "one person/one vote."

As far as I know, we Supernatural fans aren't cheating in these polls. We take the time to vote for the show we love and we make sure that other Supernatural fans on the internet are aware of the polls so that they can vote too. Obviously, a show with such a devoted fan base deserves more attention on your website and in your magazine. It would be nice if it got some of the recognition it deserves. That's all we want.

I voted for America and it shows she has 0%. What's going on with that?
Not pleased overall with the choices.

The Superboys are racking up such votes that I am scared to tell you how many times you would have to repeat vote for America to make her rounded-up total hit 1 percent.

I only voted once. I do know that Supernatural fans are rabid but I also think we're fair. If there's such a concern about "cheating" why not fix it so that a person can only vote once? Lots of places do it, so it can't be that hard.
Personally, I like to believe that most people who took the time to vote truly do prefer the Supernatural actors over the others. I mean, they ARE cool. Dean, as portrayed by Jensen, is cool personified.

Guess what? It seems that the only way to see who's ahead is to vote again. That needs to be fixed too.

I guess you cut off us supernatural fans by making it impossible for us to vote. I was going to exercise my one vote and found "The Killpoint" ad blocking the boys names and nothing I did would make it move. So see there is one vote less for one of the boys! I feel ripped off!

I love the boys!!!I found it hard to have to pick between them!! Even though I hated Jensen on DOOL, never got into DA (and hated what little I saw of him on it)and wasn't too impressed with his Smallville bit, I totally LOVE Dean!! I think Sammy is cuter, sweeter, and nicer. But my history dictates that I go for the brat and let my friend have the sweet one. Oy that kicked me in the butt too many times. LOL!!
BTW on the other areas a person has to be logged in to vote. Only this area and Ausiello's allow unlimited voting. I have to admit to doing a lot of Veronica Mars over GG a few months ago. This last time it was between 2 of my favorite shows, Bones and Supernatural, so I had to vote for each one.
