I hope matt won't mind me stealing his phrase, but "people are really fucking retarded."
These reader polls are always skewed and awful; I mean, movie polls always end up with Transformers or whatever Transformer-esque film is out that year being up near the top, reader polls end up with Rand and Hubbard near the top. Music polls get Brittney and the latest Hilary Duff album.
I tend to ignore these kinds of polls, just like I tend to turn down the radio when NPR shows I like say, "Okay, let's take another caller!"

My wife, on the other hand, is in the developmental disability field, and she uses it a lot, obviously correctly, and gets funny looks when people catch only one word of what she is saying. She also uses FLK (funny looking kid) which is apparently the technical term for a child who has that look in their eye.
Old timers back home in KY refer to somebody as looking kinda "funny" if they have that sort of sparkle in their eye. Until I moved to Yankee land for college, I thought I must be a comedian.
