Cats WORSTminster Dog Show: The Final Results!

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Thu, Feb 28 at 2:46 PM

Last Friday afternoon (when most of the Mercury office was out gambling and drinking), we asked you to vote for your MOST DESPISED DOG. We had you click on our little voting gizmo and make your pick from a list of awful, abhorrent, miserable dog breeds. We put our complete faith and trust in you to make this, the most important of all decisions ever.

AND….????

You shat the bed, of course! You totally and utterly botched it. You gave us a tie—WHICH IS USELESS.

SO, we asked again. Nicely. Quietly. And votes came in. And some more votes. We waited, and counted. Then we had some lunch. Then we came back to the office, but had lost interest in the dog poll at that point, so we spent the rest of day watching Gary Busey videos on the YouTube.

And THEN, the polls closed. So, here are the results!

Apparently, Blogtown readers are afraid of being EATEN TO DEATH IN THEIR SLEEP, since murderous, insane Pit Bulls took home the top prize! And apparently, Blogtown readers are also afraid of FLUFFY FOPPISH DANDIES, since Poodles took home slot number 2! And apparently, no one knows what a Pekingese is, probably because we spelled it wrong.

So, thank you for voting for your MOST DESPISED DOG! Maybe, next time we ask you for something, we won’t have to ask twice.

Can't you idiots get anything right? The dog pictured here is not a poodle, which is what I assume you were trying to depict, but it is an equally vile little dog called a Bichon Frisse (excuuuuuuse me if I've misspelled the name!)

Umm err ahh the pic that is posted is a Bichon not a poodle. Please note that the show clip on a poodle has those SILLY ASS TUFFS. Way back in the olden days A poodle needed the ass tuffs to portect his joints while fetching ducks that were shot by his master. The Bichon is a off breed of the poodle and NEVER has ass tuffs.

Pittbulls the worst? What the fuck? What are wrong with you people? And Pekingese the winner? I guess the winner was chosen to emulate the majority of voters' aesthetics and personality: deliberately skinny, over manicured, obnoxious and extremely annoying. Or is this supposed to be ironic? Shame on you.

My pits are going to have very hurt feelings.

I voted for pit bulls.

Why? Because they EAT BABIES.

(That's right, I said it.)

can't you do a vote for the snarkiest commenter of blogtown? i mean, who cares about which dog breed is the worst? everyone knows it's the pitbull.

Pitbulls are NOT scary monsters. When I volunteered my time helping the great people of New orleans help put the city back together right after the 2005 huricanes I meet many homless non nuetred male pitbulls and found them to be very sweet and if anything a bit shy from what thye lived through. It goes with out saying that a dog is just like kid teach it to be well behaved it will be. Teach it to be mean ITS YOUR OWNED DAMED FAULT.

Clearly Robby also eats babies.
