NASA vs. Colbert


NASA held a contest where individuals could vote on a name for a room in a space station. There were four suggested names given by NASA: Venture, Earthrise, Serenity and Legacy. There was also a space for a write in vote. Early on in the contest the leading name was not any of the four write in votes but Xenu, the god in the Scientology religion. Stephen Colbert jumped into action by asking his Colbert nation to join together and vote for the name Colbert. Within days Colbert was at the top of the list. Recently the contest came to an end. Colbert had become the highest voted name. Stephen Colbert would get a room in a NASA space station named after him. How cool is that? What? What do you mean NASA named it Tranquility? That doesn't sound like Colbert. It appears that NASA holds the right to name the room something more appropriate and Colbert did not make the cut. The room was named after the area on the moon in which Appolo 11 landed, The Sea of Tranquility. NASA made a deal with The Colbert Report host. NASA offered to name a brand new treadmill, which will be used in space by the astronauts, C.O.L.B.E.R.T. The Combined operational load bearing external resistance treadmill will be sent to space in August. Stephen Colbert was invited to NASA to see the launch and to demonstrate the use of the new treadmill. This was a nice offer from NASA but I think Colbert was ripped off. Hmmmm...spacer room or treadmill...lets see... WTF?!

@Ottomann- That is what I am saying. Colbert won fair and square. This is how democracy works in the U.S, the winner does not always win. Just look at the Bush elections.
