Miley Cyrus has more votes than Edward Snowden. How can that be?
- cdmoyer 13y agoI just asked three people near me if they knew who Snowden and Cyrus were. Guess who was recognized by all three and who was vaguely acknowledged by 1. Not a scientific study, but I'd put money on it being repeatable outside the workplaces of hacker news readers.
- DanBC 13y agoIs that an honest question? You realise that almost no-one gives a fuck about Snowden, right? Most people really just don't care. The Guardian newspaper has (if we're generous) a circulation of 250,000 people. The (untrustworthy) numbers of the MileyCyrusVEVO "Wrecking Ball" video are 352,117,848 views.
