Mail.Ru tricked thousands of users
On the Internet, someone is wrong. This time - Mail.Ru.
Not so long ago, they organized the contest “Miss Internet 2008”, under the terms of which users chose the Top 100 participants, after which the jury chooses the finalists. About 100,000 people fought for their favorite participants. And the most zealous fans could send paid SMS in support of their party.
There was no limit to surprise when the list of finalists was announced. Opinion of people did not take into account at all. I would not be surprised if the jury was not at all, given the events of last year , and the organizers modestly decided to choose among themselves, if they did not make this choice in advance.

Formally, the conditions of the competition were met, because users relied more on common sense than on the last item with small text. After all, this is not “Familiar Miss Who Who Was Weaved And Called the Winner” - this is “Miss Internet”, but you need to answer for words.
One such participant is Dasha, who fell in love with 10,000 users, for her courage in fighting standards. For many, it was a matter of honor - to prove that not everything in this world is measured by patterns. As it turned out - in vain.
Total: profit from SMS, drawing attention to Mail.ru, deceived hopes and clean hands.
