Like, c'mon. The thread title isn't even punctuated correctly. It's not "Mom's Dead Parkour." In the last thread's poll, it was listed as "Mom's Dead, Parkour."

If this vote for a Giant Bomb community thread title were a car, the government would have to get involved because people would be dying.

The thread reference is awesome to have, as I usually go into a new OT going, "I don't get the title".

It was a mistake on my part though just like the "I hear you in my blood one" it should have been "with my blood" which I did mention I would fix if it won. The people have spoken.

Chances are a new Shrek is probably gonna be fine. The Shreks are fine-to-great. The Internet ruined it like it does everything else.

"There are, like...there is plenty of, like, political literature out there about why these community polls are the way they are and can't be fixed and, like, if you want community threads that allow this level of possibility, you're just going to have to take it. But I think this 'pie in the sky' idea that, like, 'Oh, they should just do it better is...'"

The first Shrek was pretty good, but the quality quickly went downhill from there. I don't think I ever watched 2, but 3 was pretty much garbage.
This is why voting isn't enough. Ya gotta get boots on the ground and demonstrate.
Time for a protest. Occupy OP.

2 is probably the best one. Then there was a Puss in Boots movie that was pretty good too.

At some point they were gonna make a Donkey/Dragon movie or something but they never did. Now's there chance to do so and include a hot Rick & Morty joke. Aw jeez, they universe-hopped into Shrek!

Upon further review, I do agree an Alex themed OT would have been better than the Mom's Dead, Parkour that I voted for.

Damn, that seems to be the flaw with early voting in democracies.

I thought everyone loved "Mom's Dead Parkour" though! Bah, I can't keep up with these complicated Giantbomb politics. I'm gonna go play more Red Dead until the polls close and we finally find out if the La Li Lu Le Lo have decided to let us take the country back again.
