As with all submissions, they get to the front page because people voted them there. Do I agree with every article on the front page? No. Same goes for the polls. Either way, they provide something of interest to enough of a group of people that it made it to the front page, and to me that is all that matters - this site continues to provide interesting insight in to technology, start ups and the world that's been built up around it, so I won't complain about the occasional article or poll that I have absolutely no interest in.
