Colbert lovers win NASA name game
NASA's online contest to name a new room at the International Space Station has gone awry after the name "Colbert" beat out NASA's four suggested options. The space agency had asked the public to help name the new room, to be launched later this year. NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Comedian Stephen Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report, to write in his name — and they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday. NASA reserves the right to choose an appropriate name. Agency spokesman John Yembrick said NASA will decide in April, but will give top vote-getters "the most consideration." [ www.cbc.ca ] | |

I saw the episode when he asked America to vote for his name, and I just knew that this was going to happen.
Seriously... This is the kind of thing you get with democracy. And I love it. | |
