Sub Zero

We all have moments of indecision in our lives. Some people more than others.
On DD-Sports today, there was this retarded SMS poll.
Will Dhoni hit a century today? SMS answers to...Koon koo koon koo
Also flashing on the screen were the results until now..
Yes 92% ( Fair enough, the man is on 98 )
No 3% ( Hmmm, well this is a madman we are talking about)
Can't say 5%

What??? Why in Sourav Ganguly's 'God of the off side' name would you do that? Not only are they indecisive, they actually SMS to declare their indecision. I understand there are possible prizes to win in case you get your prediction right. Mr. Ajit Solanki from Jodhpur, a possible winner says " I predicted Yes, so now I have a one in a million chance to win some DD turds " His son Sanjay was heard saying " @#@#$$$@ , phir galt ho gaya "

So, these guys "couldn't say" (but sure did) aren't even giving themselves a winning chance. This enthusiasm for SMSing has gone too far. And there was a choice this time.In surveys where a 'Seema' sounding woman calls you up and asks about the pancreatic juices of the Himalayan goat, you are entitled to say ' can't say ' , disconnect the phone line and get the hell out of there.

Another thought, could DD have fudged the results to encourage viewer participation? Why would they do this to me?
