In honor of Halloween, Moviefone.com conducted a poll, asking:
“Who is the sexiest movie vampire of all time?”
Website polls are great, aren’t there? As a former managing producer, I can tell you, it is a brilliant way to have site visitors do all the work for you. They not only get to vote — which they love doing — but you can also let them comment — which they also love doing — that you can then use to build your feature. Add some stock photos, and zip bing bang — Halloween feature approved and posted.
Cynical, but true.
And honestly — could Moviefone.com have asked a more obvious question this year? The site producers probably had the top five vampire pages built before they started. This is an example of a website asking a question that they already knew the answer to. (In case you have been living under a rock the past year, here are the poll results.)
I guess People magazine will be going through the same trauma when they select the “Sexiest Man Alive.” Can this year’s campaign maintain its usual hype? Is there any real suspense at all? If the editors pick anyone other than Robert Pattinson of “Twilight,” do they risk having their headquarters burned to the ground by an angry mob of Twi-hards?
Might be a good poll question…
