Coolest Pets in PoPville Finalist for “Other” Category
17 August 2009 3:00 PM | By Prince Of Petworth in coolest pet in popville 2009As suspected chosing finalists was not an easy task. If I had this much trouble for the other category I dread selecting the cats and dog finalists… Anyway, you will vote a winner for each category and then the winners of each category will compete against each other for an overall winner. The poll for “Other” category will be open until Friday night. You can tell your friends/colleagues to vote for your favorite but please only vote once, we’re on the honor system here. Cat finalists will be announced Wed.

What a disgraceful omission of the true coolest pet in DC. It seems like prejudice has won the day, preventing the pet that would be the clear and obvious winner by any objective measure from even competing. Lets recognize that this is no more than a vote for second best. Viva Todd.

Fight intolerance and include Todd!

Todd is the greatest bear ever! No one denies this!

Agnus. I love the chickeeen!

Dan, you should probably post the images of the pets in the same order as the list in the poll to avoid confusion.

Is it only me or is it odd that POP posted this ‘Other’ pet poll followed by the bbq post? Coincidence? or a disturbed sense of humor at work?

Todd? Where did you go?

Where’s Thornton the boa??? I think any pet that can swallow all the other entrants whole ought to win.

WMATA should thank Calliope for all the positive press she is generating for them.

Auntie Britny, cousins Chloe and Lulu are so proud of you! It is tough to be as cute as you are, but lets be honest cuteness runs in the family!

Dan, thanks again for running this contest – it’s been a lot of fun. One minor suggestion: to avoid confusion and a repeat of the 2000 Presidential election in Florida, it would be helpful to have the names of the pets to the side of the picture instead of below. Having the name below the picture may cause some confusion about which name to vote for (i.e. some may think the name above the picture is the correct one). It would also be helpful to have the pictures in the same order as the list in the poll. I think the last 8 years are a testament to the terrible consequences that can happen when people get confused by ballot layout. Not that any of these pets are as bad as Bush/Cheney… Thanks again for running the contest!

i’m a sucker for guinea pigs. hamsters? cladius is gorgeous. but you’re right, mr. PoP, it’s a hard choice. would have thought agnes would score higher.

Agnus looks like a muppet. Vote for Billie Jean!
18 August 2009 11:16 AM | Esmeralda Said:
@ Anonymous 9:48 Obviously the bird is winning because how can you resist a pet that rides transit? And uses a SmarTrip card, no less? Go Calliope!
18 August 2009 11:30 AM | CB Said:
Cladius is a real dreamboat… you should vote for him!
