ElBaradei Victor In Facebook Poll

In an informal poll conducted through the Facebook social networking site, Mohamed ElBaradei emerged as the leader in the Presidential race in Egypt.

The poll was organised through the Facebook presence of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, and has been criticised as unrepresentative.

However, a spokesman for the SCAF said:

Our Facebook presence is totally democratic. We have Liked many people. We Like Barack Obama, for sure. We also Like Eric Clapton and the Church of Mormon, they are so friendly. Also the muffins are great. But we do not like Lady Gaga. This has nothing to do with her lewdness. It is just that her music is sucky! Total suck. Made entirely from suck. We Like Minogue. The blonde one. She is made from awesome. What? Who the hell is Cher Lloyd? Well, yes, okay, we will Like her, too.

Some commentators have wondered aloud whether the new Egypt will Like the State of Israel’s page, but the spokesman refused to be drawn.

Israel has not yet made a Friend Request. We visited their page and there is great internal debate within the SCAF Online Team about whether we Like them or not. It is like dating! Is it cool to make the first move? But we love that guy with the amazing electric car thing going on. He can so entirely come to Egypt and electrify our transport system. What is his name? Agassi. That dude rocks. So we figure, if they have more like him in Israel, we should be golden.

But not Lady Gaga. She sings like a baby.
