Dee was the first black person in the QF of the popcon.
Hewitt=Legend is the 3rd Australian in the popcon semifinal (after Bad Gambler and Peta Pan), Viruzzz is the second Argentinian (after ExcaliburII) and Bulldog is not the first Brit, but the first Englishman to achieve it.
Poland is so far the only country with 2 different representants in the final

Well, as a newbie I am still to learn what people look like, not that it would have affected my voting if I did. My first take was that none of the four SFs belong to the world's biggest land mass - the Eurasian continent. Two reside on islands close to it, the others to other continents. Is that a first?

Re: 2012 MTF Popularity Contest News Thread
I bet if I go get that one video if a certain bogan, you'd start winning in no time.
But I love tripy, and she deserves a fair fight.  The video is not fair at all...

I'm pretty sure I'd get disqualified dear. The masses don't need to see the way a bogan lives their life..

You would win by default, that's what you mean.. Contest would be over right away.
We should save that trick for Mr MTF, me thinks.
Now let me go study.

I thought you said your bad typing wasn't limited to phone typing?
Andrey, why aren't you sending her goodreps?
I need to study too.

Re: 2012 MTF Popularity Contest News Thread
I swear these conversations always lead to me getting in trouble. I still can't good rep her... MTF's faulty rep system prohibits me from delivering heart felt messages on a consistent basis..

You're not working hard enough to spread rep around.

That's because working hard goes against everything I stand for in life.

this is the least racist popcon up to date
if viruzzz makes it to the final he'll be the first popcon finalist from both american continents (true, we never even had a yank or canuck in it)
trip would be the first asian with a cockney accent ofc.

Well, it's pretty worse on my phone because it not only adds words, but it also changes them. Like refrain and restrain.
But the worst is when I text a friend "something something bla bla heterosexual"... just hads the word I swear it happens very often, has created some awkward situations.

The only people that get in trouble are the ones that misbehave.
