Sometimes a site isn't silly in itself but reveals the silliness of others. Take CNN's campaign to name the Seven New Wonders of the World. Via Andante at Collective Sigh, the votes are now in and the wonders have been named -- but it's not even official! Says the article, "The new wonders campaign hasn't been universally recognized. The United Nations' cultural organization, UNESCO, issued a statement saying it has 'no link whatsoever' to the vote." You know when you have a UN organization issuing an official press release to dissociate themselves from your latest American Idol-like meaningless poll, you're being very silly. Not "universally recognized," indeed. Fess up, you really meant to say "not recognized outside of some website."
