Fuck the Dove Foundation

[masque12]

So vicki_sine posted a link in her Livejournal about a poll created by the Dove Foundation. Apparently they're some anti-TV violence group, and their poll is utter crap. My response to them:

Someone forwarded me a link to your so-called poll. I have rarely seen any polls designed in such a biased and slanted manner. Your questions are designed to favor a narrow range of opinion on the subject, and eliminate the possibility of people answering in good faith who disagree with you. If you really want to know how people feel about violence and profanity in the media, try creating a balanced poll that allows for answers that disagree with your prior assumptions. You might be surprised at how much your opinion is in the minority, or you might actually get meaningful results in your favor. Either way, it would be better than the worthless poll you have up there now.

I doubt it will do any good, but feel free to check it out and give them some shit, too.

Um dude, do you think they actually have any desire for any results other than to press their agenda?

[vicki-sine.livejournal.com]

No, but if they set up their polls using anything resembling normal computer pollingsoftware, a lot of no responses, will seriously mess up their agenda driven statistics.

That is why they cut off phone polls that go awry from their desired direction.

No, and I'm sure that other groups do the same shit, but I'm annoyed at these fucks specifically right now.

I just answered "no" for everything that they wanted me to answer "yes" for, and vice versa. Works for me. ;)
