Looking through the report, I am vastly entertained by the 5% of Obama voters who think he's the Anti-Christ. "I mean, sure, he is the Beast and all, but what am I going to do, vote for a Republican?"

Fuck you all, people. I believe that I'm a brain in a jar fed stimuli by a mad scientist. Say what? I get to sit with the extradimensional beamers and death rays and mummified cow tongues, and you get to do what?

Madness, I tell you! Madness!

I'm sure 5% is the number of people who were trolling; as in, for all the crazy answers subtract 5-10% because some people would give a false answer just to screw with people.

That's a completely valid point, and makes the results about a thousand percent less funny. Awww...
