Talk:Anus Magillicutty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I accidentally drafted minor revisions on an older version (meaning that more recent changes would be reverted), but the text had been returned to that exact state it had in the older version, so I decided it was functionally identical, and saved me some hassle not to copy the changes to a newer edit, and submitted the changes.

[edit] Vote stuffing

- Its place at #1 on the IMDB Bottom 100 has subjected this film and its makers to widespread accusations of ballot stuffing and voter fraud. The reasons for this are many. The skeptical ask how a movie that was not available for sale in any brick and mortar or online retail outlet, had no marketing campaign and had exactly two movie reviews online (one from a Geocities website) by the time of its hitting the number 1 spot could manage to pull this off. This would be an extraordinary feat, since movies that advertised quite heavily in national TV markets (like The Underground Comedy Movie) took years to achieve enough votes to make the Bottom 100. Skeptics also point out that whenever a film begins to challenge Anus for the #1 spot (like Larry the Cable Guy) AM receives a sudden flurry of votes that has always resulted in its reclaiming the bottom spot. A look at its user reviews on the IMDB is even more perplexing. Roughly 90% of its reviews there are positive, while virtually every other movie on the Bottom 100 has a positive review breakdown running in the 0% to 5% range. This fact alone was enough to convince many that the film's makers conspired to stuff the ballots with low votes in order to put it at the bottom spot and have it remain there as a bit of free, yet deceptive publicity. In this "have our cake and eat it too" scenario, AM enjoys the notoriety of being the IMDB's worst movie while at the same time its glowing user reviewers suggest it's a film that people should go out of their way to track down.

- Then perhaps you can add a Controversy section, briefly bringing up your points, and stressing that they're just theory. CGameProgrammer 04:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
