YouTube's Very Own mikeboon

Published November 21, 2006 @ 11:13 in Press Recognition

newspaperToday's National Post column entitled "The city" is about that awkward video of Jane Pitfield being told by City TV they had declared David Miller the winner in last week's municipal election. This happened approximately 90 seconds into the telecast.

I'm linking to the article because it concludes on such a high note. Here's how they wrap it up.

But perhaps the most apt comment in the blog world belongs to YouTube's very own "mikeboon," who sums up the affair with a simple "I voted for Pedro."

If only, mikeboon.

It's true, I left that apt comment on that YouTube video page. I like how the Post refers to me as "YouTube's very own mikeboon". Where's my cut of the Google cashola?

In case that National Post link dies, here's a screen cap.

I witnessed that uncomfortable & embarrassing moment live on TV & I voted for her! I didn't know there were going to be 38 people running for Mayor, 6 for Councillor & 3 for School Trustee, all of whom I had never heard of apart from David Miller & I didn't want to vote for him, so not wanting to resort to an "eenie meenie miny mo" decision, I voted for the only woman on the list. I've been so busy & only looked up the election specifics before going to vote. My bad. Usually I'm a bit more educated & also check this site often. It would really help if some people running for elections marketed themselves more effectively, better yet, is there a website that shows what your actual ballot will look like or is that against the rules or something? If there was/is such a thing, I could do some research on what each incumbent is all about & vote appropriately.

About the Post shout-out, wow, you're even more famous now Mike. Hope you see some green.

The official city of Toronto site listed all the candidates for Mayor, councillor and school trustee. It really was a two horse race, though.

No green for me...
