Man of the Year/YMMV


  • Idiot Plot: The voting system glitch, upon which the entire plot hinges, is ridiculous in many ways. First, the program somehow fails basic math and defaults to alphabetical order. While stupid programming is certainly possible, this is glitch that should have been caught before the program was ever released, as it is the primary function of the software. Second, the glitch should have been discovered immediately after the election. There should have been a record of every voter and the votes they made, and someone should have noticed that the system called it wrong. Third, that the entire system could be installed without the rigorous testing necessary to prove it functions correctly (which took Eleanor literally five seconds to prove that it didn't) is unbelievable.
