Zach Anner and Oprah's Voting Fraud

Okay, so I hadn't gotten around to making a blog post yet, because I didn't figure there would be so much startling news coming out surrounding it.

First off, there is this dude who just happens to be awesome. His name is Zach Anner:

That was the video he posted for Oprah's current contest for her reality television show contest (vote at that link), and he flew to the top very quickly. Now, a lot of people might be thinking of this as a case of hundreds of thousands of people from the Internet feeling sympathy for a man due to his physical condition (cerebral palsy). But this simply is not the case.

The case, is that he's absolutely hysterical and everybody needs to watch his videos:

Great poise and timing, and he's actually gone out of his way to help nay-sayers realize that his idea for a show can be done. His idea for a show in which he travels around in a wheelchair to show that everyone can travel has the potential to be adventurous and inspiring. The Internet isn't coming out in droves to vote for Zach Anner because he's got cerebral palsy, "the sexiest of the palsies," but because they (and I) really do want to see this show come to life.

As I said before, Zach Anner cruised to the top of the list extremely fast, and was leaving everyone else pretty much in the dust (by millions of votes). But, out of no where, this nobody named Dr. Phyllis skyrocketed ahead of Zach by hundreds of thousands of votes.

With the amount of online support that Zach Anner has, there literally is no way that somebody else can possibly beat him. He simply has too much of a force behind him, what with reddit and other, even more powerful forums so strongly on his side.

The skyrocketing of posts (about 300,000 in a matter of TWENTY MINUTES) has been shown in graph form by a member of the reddit community here. This invariably means that Oprah (or more likely, her producers) are selfishly taking control of the contest and rigging it to ensure that the person they want wins. This is disgusting to me, primarily because Zach Anner is awesome, but because the person who's (at the time of this writing) beating him is boring as all hell.

Now, go out there and vote for Zach!
