Whee

So, SUPERB has finally realized they can't actually campaign, and has pretended that they aren't campaigning by changing this page to refer to the third person. Be sure to check out the comment by "Amy." We can rest easy with the understanding that she's probably a SUPERB plant, rather than an idiot who actually thinks that this vote will "get all this stuff back."

The comments on this page go into discussion of what democracy is, and how all should sacrifice for the greater good of entertainment shows, just like they should sacrifice for the greater good of the environment. That's a totally reasonable comparison.

Someone points out that last year's referendum lost by a 2:1 margin, and "Publius" (not pretentious at all!) says "Check your facts rather than quoting incorrect statistics. The vote barely missed its mark only failiing by a margin of 2:3." That's yet another liar for SUPERB. Let's ignore whether failing by a margin 2:3 is "barely missing the mark." The actual vote count was 3033 yes, 5534 no, or 35% of voters saying yes. Is 35% closer to 33% (1:2) or 40% (2:3)?

why wouldn't this vote get "all this stuff back." It actually costs money to book these kind of shows and if they get their funding restored to where they used to be then why wouldn't they be able to bring "all this stuff back."

As SUPERB loves to remind us, costs are going up.

Plus, when you list everything SUPERB has ever done for the last few decades (Devo!!!), you can't really expect to get "all this stuff back" in one college career.

Besides, do you really think they'd do better when they don't have to convince people that they're actually worth the cost anymore?

you seem to be quite the literal person. I doubt "all this stuff back" literally meant that SUPERB was going to rebook every single person they've ever had. Mitch Hedberg is dead so i doubt they'll be getting him back.

"Besides, do you really think they'd do better when they don't have to convince people that they're actually worth the cost anymore?"

I don't really get the logic of this one. So it seems that you're basing your understanding of human motivation on convincing other people they're worth it and that the only way to measure accountability is by having to prove they're worth it. Well, there are a lot of other reasons for motivation out there.
