So Transformers won out against My Little Pony in Mensa's toy thingy! Thanks for not ruining that, hordes of brony voters!

@thelastgherkin Bronies not ruining something? That's unthinkable!
-
@thelastgherkin What poll was this, exactly? I've never heard of it.
Tuesday, 30-Oct-12 09:58:09 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Exactly.

@toksyuryel But here it is. http://us.mensa.org/play/bracket-challenge/

@thelastgherkin I can't believe Slinky was eliminated for a cardboard box.
-
@ceruleanspark Um, hello? Cardboard boxes are great??

@ceruleanspark See, that's why I didn't vote Slinky. All my Slinkies have bend out of shape, broken, or caught fire.

@thelastgherkin Ok, the voting criteria make it pretty clear that this is, as I suspected it would be, purely a popularity contest. As such, my question is simple: how, exactly, would something popular winning by virtue of its popularity be "ruining" such a contest? Your statement perplexes me greatly- what would have been ruined here, had that been the case?

@toksyuryel Ponies are great. Their toys aren't. And this is a poll for Mensa. I'd prefer that a toy that is mentally stimulating by way of being both a robot, vehicle, and transitionary puzzle stage would win out over solid moulded plastic with hair rooted into it.

@thelastgherkin I dunno. The voting criteria seem pretty clear to me. As if someone went out of their way to make sure there would be no doubt that it was an anything goes contest.

@thelastgherkin Something something I'll stimulate YOUR ponies
-
@ceruleanspark Just like you stimulated my red Power Ranger?
Tuesday, 30-Oct-12 10:17:45 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin LOOK MAN YOUR RED POWER RANGER WAS FLAMBOYANT WHEN I GOT THERE.

@thelastgherkin Just shows how many transfanners flocked to it if they beat bronies.

@abigpony Just had a look at the vote totals. 160 vs 1049.
Tuesday, 30-Oct-12 10:18:26 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Which, given the number of votes in the other categories, seems about average. There seem to only be about 2000 voters, max. Lego destroyed whatever the heck "Sit and Spin" is by the same margin. Also this is an online poll for mensa, which is a hilariously male dominated environment. Generally all the female oriented toys have been utterly destroyed.
-
@toksyuryel Is it that hard for you to believe that they're genuinely better toys?
Tuesday, 30-Oct-12 10:27:54 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin I never said they weren't.
Tuesday, 30-Oct-12 10:28:34 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel You seem to be conspiracy theorying it up.
Tuesday, 30-Oct-12 10:30:25 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Not sure where you're getting that from. Certainly not in anything I said.
