Forget a T-shirt, I want a Lost Remote Hungarian bridge!

By Steve Safran 

The Hungarian Government has a website (English directions) where people can vote on the name they’d like for a new bridge in Budapest. True to the web, the leading candidates are a little less than serious. Chuck Norris was in the lead (imagine the headline when they need to close the bridge: DON’T CROSS CHUCK) and then Stephen Colbert found out, and implored his audience to vote for him. After WikiGate, you know the Colbert Crowd has the power. At last check, the Hungarian Bridge vote site was down because of too much traffic. And if you can’t find something funny about a site dedicated to a bridge being closed because of traffic, I can’t help you.
