This week’s question

OK, so I did one of these types of questions before where I'd know the answer before this vote goes live, but I don't know the answer before posting the question. I have been summoned to jury duty and I have to phone up, well, anytime now as of typing this question to see whether I need to go. I'm not exactly sure of the process, but I'm guessing that I phone the number and they will either tell me that I'm good and I don't need to do anything or I'll be told when and where to show up. I could be wrong on this, but I then think I get interviewed to determine if I'll actually be selected. I guess I may find out, but, then again, I may not if I'm not selected. Anyway, will I have to do jury service this week?

You've found the EastBayRag vote page. Here, you get the opportunity to let us know what you think. Each week, we will have votes on important issues. Well, probably not important issues, more like trivial things that come to mind on a Sunday morning after a belly full of beer from a Saturday night.

This week's current vote is shown above. After the votes are in, EBR will provide in depth analysis of the results so you can find out if you are running with the crowd or if you're out there on your own. You never know, you may even learn something, but that's highly unlikely. Analysis of last week's vote is shown below. If you want to see historic votes, checkout the vote archives.

Oh! And the cool thing before I forget, the graphs update as you vote ...... Wow! And what's more, the colors are allocated randomly, so each time you refresh the page, you will see different colors on the graphs. (F5 is normally the shortcut key to refresh, but may depend on your browser.) Go on .... try it.

Analysis of Last Week's Vote

The following question was presented:

A vote question I meant to post back in the summer. On the flight either to or from England I watched some film with Will Smith in it and there was a cameo by Khaby Lame. Made me wonder which of the two is more famous. There’s probably a demographic factor that’s going to come into play here, but I’ll ask the question anyway. Who is more famous, Will Smith or Khaby Lame?

Results:

Will Smith was the clear winner with 100% of the votes selected from the following:

  • Will Smith (100%)
  • Khaby Lame (0%)

I think I gave away my demographic by having to search who this lame person was. Now I know, I'm a) wishing I hadn't bothered, and b) think Lame by name, lame by nature.
Trump should have kept his TokTik ban in place.

Analysis:

Yes, Mr O clearly demonstrating the demographic of this site's voters and also why he picked the name Khaby Lame. It's a tough one. Clearly all the voters went for Will Smith, including myself, but some of that was due to the Chris Rock slap that I think brought Will some more recent recognition in the younger generation. The film was/is Bad Boys: Ride or Die (had to look it up as I'd forgotten). Regardless of what you voted, you've got to be pretty recognizable if all you have to do is walk into the shot, look at the camera, shrug your shoulders and walk off. I guess that's what happens when you have a signature move.
