IWS #215 - Corruption!

[flere-imsaho]

In honor of the latest FIFA scandal (http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/25/fifa-ethics-investigator-michael-garcia-survives-plot-overthrow-him), this edition of IWS will focus on corruption!

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s omnipotent and most truly beloved founding pantheon.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Exactly how awesome is MS Paint?" and you answer "Not very awesome" along with 13 other people, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points -- even though the correct answer is "Super Awesome."

Please PM your answers to me with "IWS #215" in the title. The contest will run until 5PM Eastern on Tuesday, April 1st. (No, this is not an April Fool's joke.)

[flere-imsaho]

I hope I did this right. Can someone post to confirm they can see the gifs?

[Butter]

I can see them.

[EagleFan]

Yes.

[EagleFan]

Peyton and Eli with a guest appearance. Awesome.

I nominate that flere wins every IWS he participates in so we get more cartoons :)

[ColtCrazy]

Great questions. I think I over thought one between what I believe vs. what I think everyone will say.
Very curious to see how this one turns out.

[sterlingice]

I nominate that flere wins every IWS he participates in so we get more cartoons :)

[britrock88]

Wow, #5.

[sterlingice]

Wow, #5.

I'm pretty sure that's the one that will eliminate my entry

SI

[Butter]

Agreed, that's the toughest, although I'm not convinced I won't be getting a "1" on 3, 4, and 6.

[Umbrella]

BTW, am I the only dumb one that took a while to figure out Belichick is wearing a hoodie?

[Coffee Warlord]

Changed one of my answers at the last second. That probably doomed me.

[path12]

As I told flere when sending my choices, I think 3 and 6 are really brutal but still have confidence I can fail big on all of them.

[flere-imsaho]

[Alf]

Looks like I'll finish dead last as usual...
