    Homer Simpsons the greatest american- what's wrong with Brits?

    You do realize he is not an actual person right?

    Anyways there is a BBC poll, and they are supposed to have some special programme next week or so about the greatest americans.

    I went to the website, and these are the current standings.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/wtwta/2959462.stm


    Bill Clinton
    3.55%
    Bob Dylan
    4.93%
    Benjamin Franklin
    4.14%
    Thomas Jefferson
    5.74%
    Martin Luther King Jnr
    8.56%
    Abraham Lincoln
    9.79%
    Franklin D Roosevelt
    3.70%
    Homer Simpson
    47.02%
    Mr T
    7.80%
    George Washington
    4.76%

    First of all, Mt. T? Are the Brits still in the early 80's with regards to american television? How can Mr. T have so many votes. And Bill Clinton shouldn't even be on this poll.

    Well here's my poll, it will include mostly presidents and I'm sure I'll forget some, but I don't feel like researching this poll

                            I think you'll find that people who vote Homer Simpson are taking the piss.
