Nickelback polls slightly higher than US Congress

[triggrhappy94]

I know this is old news, but I thought this was something my fellow Escapists could enjoy and I hadn't seen it already posted.

The guys and girls over at Public Policy Polling recently released findings that show Congress' favorability compared to other things--like cockroaches, traffic jams, and Nickelback.

Why is Genghis Khan there? What did he ever do to the US?

 

[Terminate421]

try not to read this in his voice

OT: wow....just wow....you'd think it would be the opposite but....

 

[Lucem712]

The most surprising one to me was cockroaches. Not that this isn't well earned by said congress >_>

I don't really have anything against Nickleback; I don't listen to them or anything, so I don't really have an opinion.

 

[Fat Hippo]

Well, even fucking Genghis Khan and used car salesmen beat congress, so I guess you guys REALLY fucking hate your government.

Say what you will about Genghis Khan, but that guy got shit done. When he said he wanted to behead every leader of a rival tribe, he meant it.

Meanwhile, Congress has spent the last 2 months blaming each other for not making decisions fast enough instead of, you know, actually making decisions.

Your avatar... plus that .gif... = not quite overkill...(!)

OT: Heh... are we saying that Congress is ever so slightly more repetitive that Nickelback? Then again, that's probably true, perhaps only just.

Genghis Khan!? Why wasn't I informed of this poll?

Good luck to Congress convincing that they're a bunch of monkeys now that we've the state of the United States...

 

[Lunar Templar]

LMAO.

well, can't say I'm surprised, this has been one of the most worthless congresses we've had

 

[PsychicTaco115]

That's it; our government is officially screwed

Who's for making a new government? Show of US hands, anyone?

 

[Nouw]

'Methlabs 60/21.' There be some Breaking Bad haters in this poll.

Spoiler: This is what almost happened.

US hand right here in the air for you.

OT: This dosn't surprise me at all. I don't think I've met a single American yet that has ever liked the government unless they were talking about one from before the (then) current administration. And as your all around average MURICAN I can say that I was raised to dislike and distrust my government, especially congress.

Damn E button on my kyboard isn't working right.

 

[Tom_green_day]

I don't even mind Nickelback

 

[rayman56]

I for one never liked my government. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who realizes that congress is made up of retarted monkeys.

 

[Lusty]

If it weren't for Nickleback, what would strippers dance to?
