A Little Help, Please?

[The Shadow]

Fellow Rats :
First of all, I know quite well that this post belongs in the Romper Room, but I beg your indulgence (as a longtime Rat) just this once as an injustice is being done, and I'd like to ask for your help.
My son, Joe, is in a photo contest, where site visitors can vote for the photo collections they like. He's pretty good (I think) - and a real stand-up kid (a Packer person) to boot. He always plays fairly - and it breaks my heart to see him getting jobbed.
He was doing really great in this contest -until today. Someone has -all today - entered a ton of poor votes to bring him down from a 4.8 rating to a 4.4.
I know how this is happening - and I have a pretty good idea who is doing it, and it's just not right.
Anyway, if you would like to help, PLEASE visit the site :

If you like his photos, please give him a '5' STAR rating (stars at bottom of photo).

(By the way, if you check out some of the other artists' contributions, you should also be able to quickly figure out who is trying to 'fix' the contest).

Anyway, I apologize again for posting here amid all things Packer - but I know what kind of folks you are, and think you might just be inclined to get a playing field a little more even.
Thanks!

Yes, I do.
I will wash your car, try to be more polite, and work on Justin Harrel's back.

Those pictures are stunning Shadow. I gave him a 5.

I know you know this but I hope your son doesn't fret over the questionable outcome of a flawed contest over which he has no control. Your son can take great satisfaction from knowing he's a very talented guy, and that's more lasting and important than any monetary award that he may get cheated out of.

Talent like that doesn't go unnoticed for too long. Cream always rises. I'm sure he won't be discouraged from continuing to pursue his passion regardless of the outcome of this contest.

Thanks for the kind words, Vince - and the vote. But you know, as a dad, you rail against the injustices this world offers when they come down on your kid's head - although when they happen to you - personally - it's no longer that much of a big deal.

I've had plenty of injustice done in my life lately, so I am more than happy to help anyone else out who has had wrong done to them. 5 stars...PLUS, they are worth the 5 stars...wow!

Fellow rats, don't forget to vote single stars to the porn chick. (not even good porn, i might add.)

As I said, something is fishy.
The porn queen from Israel is CURIOUSLY:
a. the only entry with an absolutely bloated count
b. the only artist whose rating did not take a sudden plummet today.

I sure small a rat (and not a good, upstanding PACKER rat!)
Her site is : http://www.artistswanted.org/roniriver2

Judge for yourself.
I would only ask a level playing field.

Well, she must have the Vikings or Bears fans stuffing the ballot box for her.
But she aint got the RATS!!!!!

Personally, I think she had all her buddies vote down anyone who had a better rating than her.

heres her web site

she's a media whore. she has her stuff on flicker and she's on twitter asking everyone to vote for her multiple times

i would think that a contest such as this one with a reward as great as this one, would use something a little bit better then a popularity contest to judge the winner

its clear who has talent and who just takes naked pictures of herself in the mirror like millions of other girls
