Progress! Do I win?

Eric the Unread and Laban Tall encouraged us a little while ago to try and get a lunatic Have Your Say comment published on one of the BBC Have Your Say pages.

Well, I've done it.

On the subject of the popular kiddie band Busted siding with the Conservatives the BBC asked:

Do celebrity endorsements add anything to politics?...

Now, clearly the answer is no, nothing useful anyway but I submitted:

Busted really are great. I'm sure this will do the Conservative image a great deal of good.

It got selected. Look for John J.

Ok, it's not a great comment but it is clearly crazy. It contains the outright fallacy that Busted really are great and the loony notion that it will do the Conservatives a great deal of good. What do I win?

Andrew, over at non-trivial solutions has blown my heavily disguised ship of moonbattery out of the water with this outstanding comment :

Busted are my favourite band. Previously, I was considering voting for the Lib Dems, but now I will vote Tory. They've really changed my mind.

How can we ever trust what we see on BBC have your say forums again?
