Never underestimate the power of Stephen Colbert!

Oh I know how powerful he is. Or at least his fan base. NASA better go with the vote, or else end up On Notice.

I am very disappointed. Nasa's own vote had Serenity at 70% of the vote.

Yet somehow Colbert won?

sounds more like they catered to the media in my opinion.

Serenity got <20% of the vote...

The count by mid-Tuesday had votes for the comedian just shy of 115,000 and Serenity trailing at 98,641. More than 451,000 people have voted.

Where do you see 70%?

[PepperElf]

eh, at least the site i had listed them at 70... hmmm

Ah, the % is just by actual votes not including the write ins.

I'm sure Serenity was chosen because of Joss Whedon.

Colbert IS the media.
