Why do I think this is wrong?

Angi, you will know who I am talking about

One of my HS friends and now FB friends owns a bakery, she has been posting all over FB for everyone to vote for her bakery in Best of Toledo for Toledo City Paper.  She even sent up an event and sent that to all her FB friends so they'd vote for her bakery.

I get that she wants to be the Best in Toledo, can't blame her for that.  But to tell people to vote for you is another thing.  Kind of cheating in my honest opinion.

Re: Why do I think this is wrong?

  • I guess I don't find it wrong because SO many people do it when they want to win a contest. IMO those contests like Best in Toledo, Gerber Baby Contest, Gap Photo contest, etc. have nothing to do with being the best or having the cutest baby but with how many people you can get to vote for you.
  • yeah, I see your point

    I wouldn't do it though if I owned a local business, if people think I am that good I shouldn't have to tell them to vote for me

    To each their own I guess!!

  • That contest is TOTALLY rigged... I've heard that from multiple sources who know people on the inside.
