[Sigia-l] "People's Design Awards" 2007

[W Evans]

The People's Choice Award is complete bull. I wish I could get back those
few minutes of my life I spent paging through some of the entries. Remember
- "The People," have votes for such things as McDonald's, American Idol,
Britney Spears, 'W' and Paris Hilton. I would not let 'the people' choose
great design.

Case in point - The Thinkpad from Lenova was nominated as a great design?

There are a lot of places where democracy is a really bad thing: design,
music, food, art, literature, and politics are just a few.
