Women and gay people are invited to participate in this poll, just so you know... Your opinions count! Also, everybody else is invited too. You don't have to be a woman or gay to vote. There are no age or geographical restrictions here either

Just to provide a teaser, here is an ASCII version of my butt:

I didn't know you smoked....

lpkmckenna · Nov 14, 2007, 12:18 PM

I think there are enough asses on this board already.

I don't have any earrings I could use, but I do have some spare shower curtain rings.. Will those do?

shifuimam · Nov 14, 2007, 01:03 PM

Besson, quit being an attention whore.

It's getting really, really old.

Please?

You have your body piercings thread, your thread where people are telling you that you are attractive, I have my butt thread... Seems like a fair tradeoff to me. We all like attention, not to mention giving back to the community (as I'm trying to do here)...

BRussell · Nov 14, 2007, 01:07 PM

I'm just fascinated by the fact that, despite being a yes-or-no question, this is a multiple-selection poll. But it seems appropriate: I both would, and would not, like to see besson3c's butt.

Yeah, minor detail that 100% of MacNN members wanna see shifu's boobies, and 0% wanna see your ass...

Well, according to this poll, exactly 28.57% so far want to see my butt...

Are you denying that 2 people clicked on "yes" so far? The numbers don't lie: 25% of people want to see my butt... That's about what Bush's approval rating is now, and he is still in office, so I think you are going to have to accept the fact that my butt will be shown based on popular demand.

The body piercing thread was me wanting actual information from people who had gotten similiar piercings. It would have been the same thread had I asked "I want to get my lebret pierced - anyone done this before? what should I look for in a piercer?" etc.

The thread about me and my looks was derailed from the original thread, which was "how long into a relationship/dating before you expect a girl to put out?", which had nothing to do with me or my appearance.

So it's not the same thing. I'm sorry that people paid attention to me, and recall that I didn't start a thread ASKING FOR IT. You are. I'm just saying that you've already done it once (with your "Official besson3c attention whore thread"), the pony ride was fun, now quit it.

2 people, huh ?

You and your alter / split personality ego abe

I like pony rides though, and, my numbers are up... 33%!

My butt is in demand, Shifuimam. You are welcome to peddle your wares in another thread, you don't have to stay in this one. I can handle the competition.

Take a look at the results!

By the way, my poll numbers are up!

LOL, the two other people that voted yes also voted no. So basically, if you take them out, there is 1 vote for (which was yours) and 4 against.

So, get your ass out of here

I voted both yes and no too, so why would we take them out? They voted yes on a decision that was pretty clear and non-obfuscated to begin with: do you want to see my butt?

This is how Democracy works Turtle... If you don't like it, you should move to Communist China or something. I hear they have good Chinese food there.

BlueSky · Nov 14, 2007, 01:31 PM

besson3c ain't an attention whore, he's a recruiter. Lighten up, nerds.

C'mon besson, give us some of that besson butt.

Dork. · Nov 14, 2007, 01:34 PM

If you all think besson3c is an attention whore, then why do you give him attention?

Personally, I will not vote on this poll because I am neither a woman or gay, so I have not been invited.

Thanks BlueSky!

"Look at besson3c's butt or be a nerd that needs to lighten up"... I like the sound of that! That should help me with my polls...

Have you ever run a campaign before BlueSky?

Everybody is invited, including the womans and the gays... You don't even have to be a certain age to vote. Your kid could vote, if she wanted to. I would like it if she did, it might attract more of the younger demographic.

I will fix my original post to clarify this though.

osiris · Nov 14, 2007, 01:42 PM

It's like a bad car wreck - I have to look. 36.36%

Dork. · Nov 14, 2007, 01:46 PM

Be careful there, besson3c, allowing minors under the age of 18 to vote in this poll might be a violation of the COPA law, since Congress thinks children on the Internet ought to be protected from your butt. I'm not a lawyer, but I often argue with them, so that has to count for something!

MacosNerd · Nov 14, 2007, 01:47 PM

Yet another useless thread from Besson - Macnn's resident attention whore.

Yes, but I'm a Canadian citizen, so do these US laws apply to me if my butt picture was taken in Canada?

Thanks for your post! I'm sure it will help me in my polls.

Didn't you get the memo? The USA owns the Internet, so all of our laws apply here.

shifuimam · Nov 14, 2007, 01:52 PM

Techically should be "...be a nerd who needs to lighten up". "That" should only be used when referring to inanimate nouns.

starman · Nov 14, 2007, 01:52 PM

1) Another thread about himself
2) Why do I get the feeling the poll results will be irrelevant?

besson3c · Nov 14, 2007, 01:54 PM

Awesome work BlueSky!! Do you think we could fit those on buttons, maybe on a cape? Do you think it would help if we Photoshopped on a little sticker on to the kid that said "Hello, my name is: MacNN"?

Your support is most valued and appreciated.

Well if you don't like how the vote results turn out and you decided not to vote, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Chuckit · Nov 14, 2007, 01:56 PM

It's a shame that you can choose both "yes" and "no" at the same time, but you cannot choose "no" multiple times.

For all of you studying political science out there: shifuimam is what we call a "swing voter" now that she has clearly been persuaded to support my campaign.

Maybe I should encrypt my butt picture?

Aren't you married? I'd imagine your wifey can probably give your ass far better attention than you're going to get on the Internets.

besson3c · Nov 14, 2007, 02:00 PM

MacNN mods: I think I have been a loyal MacNN member for long enough, I've helped out many people with technical problems, I've been nice, I'm supported MacNN... Do you think MacNN could reciprocate by putting a link to this thread within a MacNN news story on the website?

zerostar · Nov 14, 2007, 02:00 PM

Ill vote yes since it seems 1/2 of us don't want to see it LOL

Sorry.

BlueSky, give this woman one of our buttons, and maybe a cape too... okay?

She's going to be a hard one.

But it has no value to anyone unless it's freely available.

Maybe what you need is some Digital (Butt-viewing) Rights Management software. Maybe Apple would license FairPlay?

Hmmm... I hadn't really thought about security here Dork.. I officially appoint you as my security czar, will you accept this position? If not, I also have an opening for "security analyst", "security detail", "security engineer", and simply "security". You will be allowed to wear our cape while holding any of these positions.
