I've only heard of nine of these people...is that bad?and I only recognize half of them, and not #1 nor 2. Same here. I was vaguely aware Rain was a singer but presumed it was a blonde female American teenager. I had never heard of Miyamoto even though I got a Wii for Christmas and had one of the original 8-bit Nintendos in the late 1980s.

Heh, #1 and #2 look like typical Asian poll-rigging. I'm just surprised the Koreans were bested by the Thais at the time of that screencap.

Thanks for also including who those top vote-getters are. I only recognize half of them, and not #1 nor 2.

I think you're misreading the chart. It looks like Stephen Colbert is #1, which is indisputably true.

Colbert is the first choice offered in the poll but he was a distant third in votes at the time I did the screencap.
