It was mwa's idea so he choose the pic. Also its the first contest and it can be improved. All opinions are more than welcome. Next time the person will be a worldwide known or ECF well known like MWA!!
mwa102464, we are not having a go at you. But just understand Babe Ruth could rise from the grave and have coffee with non Americans and although a lot would know his name it would be a minute fraction that would recognize him. I certainly wouldn't.
But now we know new pictures from other areas will follow so all good. Don't take this to heart, we appreciate your efforts.
The problem is is that most Americans wouldn't know someone from another country from a hole in the ground, you know we're relatively obtuse to the rest of the world.
And I'm sorry, the Babe was an american sports icon, it was a great choice that we all have seen in our history books at least.
Unfortunately, you can't have a contest for every culture and age group and mwa did a great job with the selection and I think you're complaints are unwarranted.
Not every choice can be an actor from the last 20 years which seems to be all some people know, a pop culture society indeed. Just my
That should not be an issue for the rest of us though should it? Competition needs to be fair for all. Ok of course some pictures will favor certain countries but a balance will be sort.
Yep, your history books, not ours.
Yes a balance needs to be sorted and as started that balance has now been declared. I'm not complaining mate, just finding a balance and other non USA people have agreed with me.
Yeah, far better to pick a guy who died 50 years ago whom 99.999% of the rest of the world could not pick from a line up...hmmm
I can not enter these competitions, I am simply stating the obvious. Anyway, I raised a question, it has been answered so end of that topic please. Please PM me if you would like to continue this conversation but leave it out of this thread.
I think it was darn nice of them to run this contest and I think it couldn't have been won by a nicer guy.
So again thanks for the contest and congrats to I'm your salt. I hope you enjoy it.
