Google Fights v.2 - A Look Back Over The Last 2 Weeks
by collin
Someone somewhere realized that Google is so influential these days, that it’s probably possible to leverage them for making important decisions. Thus was born Google Fighting. Although somewhat of a passed trend, it’s still a horrifically amusing and unjudicious way to decipher between the should and shouldn’ts of life.
It wasn’t long ago that we wielded the Google Fight banner to decide on some Halloween Costumes and we’re going to use it again.
Just as a quick description to the newcomers, this is how Google Fighting works. You pick your two competing ideas and type them into the Google Fighting widget. The results are counted, and the one with greater results wins. You revel in your victory, or hang your head low in shame at the loss.
Let’s FIGHT!
Round 1 - The Oscars
Let’s face it. There are winners and losers every year at the Oscars. I’ve never been a fashion guru, however, and feel totally comfortable leaving the questions to the pros. So what’s the verdict? Were there more classy gowns or Halloween horrorfests?

Ouch, that’s not good. Google has spoken.
Round 2 - Wonder Con vs. Comic Con
Every year, these two festivals of ever-so-potent pop culture geekery gather more jet-set nerds than a sighting of the USS Enterprise. They’re partially responsible for the mainstreaming of geek culture, and are actually sister conventions. But if only one could survive…. if we truly had to pick one to cover, what would it be?

Hmm, now to make a decision. Support the straggler or go celeb watch with the winner…
Round 3 - Darth Vader vs. Optimus Prime
We posed the question earlier on last week about who would win in a brutal costume-off more vicious than the classic Derek Zoolander and Hansel matchup. Does the classic fanboy supported awesomeness of Darth Vader stand a chance against the refreshed 80’s culture icon, Optimus Prime?

Wow, paint me as totally shocked on that one. I speak no ill of Vader, my dear Star Wars Fans, Google has once again spoken.
Round 4 - Tommy Lee Jones vs. Akihabara
When we got word that Tommy Lee was out in Japan picking up the pieces of his former career, we figured it was a good thing. Then you see the look on his face in the video for his commercial, and have to wonder if Japan has conquered the great actor.

Fear not, Tommy. You have plenty left in you. Who knows, a bustling career in Anime voice acting could really give you a new name in the industry…
Well folks, we came, we fought, and some conquered. Thanks, Google, for once again finding us a valid excuse for not being decisive enough in our own lives.
