GOOD or BAD: Summer miscellany

[coalescent]

Once more unto the breach:

[Poll #1040140]

As ever, feel free to express your incredulity at others' choices in the form of a comment. For example: buymeaclue, why do you think it is GOOD that I have spilt tomato sauce on my copy of F100? despotliz, what have you got against mustard? Why do you all hate James Bond? And does anyone other than me even watch John From Cincinnati?

I am slightly confused on the swimsuits question. Are people voting based on the concept, or the execution?

[dsky.livejournal.com]

Well, I know *I* was voting based on aesthetics...

I can't work out if the people mean "Swimsuits look rubbish" or "I'd rather swim naked". Damn that Niall and his ambiguous polls.

[dsky.livejournal.com]

Oh. I see your problem. I did rather kinda assume the former. Clearly in the case of the latter, I wish to change my vote!

Several guys have voted BAD and rosefox has voted GOOD, so it's not a straight split.

I have to say, I take "swimsuits" as a generic term for swimming costumes of any kind word by either gender. Admittedly, it gets a bit silly to refer to, eg, baggy Hawaiian shorts as a "swimsuit", but the same is true of calling them a more gender-specific term like "swimming trunks".

Also the question says "swimming costumes".

[grahamsleight.livejournal.com]

Duh. So it does. Which would provide excellent reinforcement for my argument, if my argument wasn't now beside the point.

[ajr.livejournal.com]

Mea culpa. Though my point still stands.

I also seem to have missed out the words "voting BAD" in the comment above too. Bugger.
