Gerry Quotskuyva gets my vote. He’s Hopi and this is cultural heritage.
But is it appropriate that the finalists are stooping to spamming for votes? (Gerry Quotskuyva: junk postcards; Reagan Word: spam e-mail)
Why can’t artists promote work? Galleries do it all the time. PC fairness yakking. BESIDES that Committee doesn’t pay attention to public opinion. They have massive egos. Ever met them? It’ll be their choice after giving lipservice to the public. If Gerry wants to invest in mailing fine. If someone wants to skywrite vote for me fine. Fun competition no different from watching Olympics to see who gets the medals after tv promotes the contestants?
