"It would appear curious then, with so much public outcry, that in a Dec. 31 
Orlando Business Journal poll asking readers whether or not “CNN’s Blackfish 
documentary [had] changed [their] perception of SeaWorld” 99 per cent of 
respondents claimed "No."

"Sensing something fishy, the newspaper investigated and discovered that a single 
Internat Protocal Address (IP Address) was responsible for 54% of the votes.

"That IP, verified by several third-party IP tracking websites according to the 
publication, belonged to SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment."

If your protocol is successful, it will eventually be used for
purposes for which it was never intended, and its users will
criticize you for being shortsighted.              - Charlie Kaufman
