FAIR’s podcast, known as the Mormon FAIR-Cast, which is located at http://www.fairblog.org, has been nominated for the second year in a row to receive a Podcast Award in the “Religion Inspiration” category. We consider this nomination a great honor.



How We Were Nominated

——————————

Nominations were open for 15 days in October. The 50 podcasts in each category that received the most votes were reviewed by a 44-member committee that took a variety of factors into account in order to narrow the finalists down to 10 in each category. The total number of votes a podcast received accounted for only 40% of the grading, with the quality of the website’s design (15%), quality of sound (15%), quality of deliverance and show format (10%), and relevance of content (20%) also being considered.



What We Would Like You To Do

——————————

Final voting for the awards began today, November 1st, and will end on November 15 at 11:59pm HST. Each person (verified by IP address) may vote ONCE EACH DAY during the 15 days that voting is open. In other words, a single person can cast 15 votes if he or she votes once each day. Please support the Mormon FAIR-Cast by casting your vote at this address:

How awful if a lot of people went to that site, and voted, say 'Ardent Atheist' in the 'Religious' category every day ...

It doesn't get wide distribution, it certainly is not a favorite of many millions, let alone even thousands. Why prime it before hand to try and get an award that very significant few people are ever going to hear? Again, it's part of a Mormon facade of looking big and important and impressive, but when we get behind the scenes it isn't significant at all, but has been jury rigged for impression. They can't really say "Hey everyone, check out our podcast, it got THE BEST AWARD!!!!" So what if only even 500 voted each day for 15 days, out of 7 billion people in the world, if only 500 pre-primed Mormons voted it and it won it would be as insignificant as the snow flake that fell on my windshield today and got wiped off with my windshield wipers in all of one second. The Mormon desire for image above substance continues to plague it for credibility.

Winning is the point. It's the only point. It's the whole point. Recognition, hoopla, media exposure, accolades and awards. Seriously... is there any other point to life?

My thought is if you need to pack the ballot box with repeat votes, then you haven't really won anyway. You cheated.
