The Best Stuff in the World -- "an open, organic, polymorphous site which, depending on the user, could take on diverse forms and meanings. The site simply asks you to input your best stuff, whether that be a song that inspires you, your favourite little Indian restaurant, or the best explication of Kantian aesthetics ... it's up to you!"

Huh? I'm on there now. I just added Metachat and piled on for Metafilter.

Hmmm...there may be problems with leaving the "Best country to live in in the world" to a popularity vote.
The "best explication of Kantian aesthetics" sounds like a lofty ideal. Unfortunately, the front page looks like a Best Hits of Western Pop Culture....

On the main page there is "Hello world" on a blank white screen.

Not a very sophisticated crowd over there, are they?
The best TV comedy:
Friends - 174
Brass Eye - 4
Or in the category of Best Country in the World to live in, why not vote for:
United States: The only nation on earth that has true freedom of religion, speech, and press.

Their unwavering dedication to "The Best..." to name all categories would be admirable if it didn't throw out things like "The Best Most Beautiful Actress".
And the whole thing is a lot more boring than it should be.

Yep that's a little annoying. It should at least be 'One of two nations that has true freedom of religion, speech and press'. We're all into that in New Zealand...I guess it all depends on your definition of 'true', 'nation' and 'freedom'. (Sorry off-topic).

Damn straight. Fucking Mac users and their Intelligent Design Bullshit. Jon Benet Ramsey didn't get attacked on a Carribean Island Springbreak while being filmed by ABC news so that the United States of America could lose a popularity poll to the unwashed hordes of freedom hating French/African Refugee seekers of China. The righteous USA smote the saddamites so that joe sixpack could control the lube that drives international tirade. None of that pansy ass embargoing down or unimposing sanctions. We got the bunkerbusters and F150s fully bloated and are looking some good blowback.
I predict this site will be the best trainwreck.
Three people think Canada is the Best National Football Team

The best oral sex:
Cunnilingus: 8 people
Fellatio: 3 people
Some mistake here, surely?

Nutella outranks Money and Mom only gets sixteen votes, twice as many as Communism. And I'm doing this instead of working?

Apparently Gmail is the greatest thing known to mankind.
That's a good reason to kill yourself.
