How does that not describe just about every Internet poll, ever?

I did, though, rather like what the government of Hungary did about
Stephen Colbert fans brigading the Internet poll to rename the Northern
M0 Danube Bridge between Buda and Pest: Hungarian Ambassador András
Simonyi appeared on The Colbert Report (Colbert's comedic television
programme) to congratulate Mr. Colbert on placing first with 17 million
votes (the entire population of Hungary being about 10M), but deadpanned
that Hungarian law imposed a couple of additional requirements:

One, he said Colbert would need to be fluent in Hungarian. Two, once
that minor problem was addressed, Mr. Colbert would need to be
_deceased_.

A fortnight later, the Hungarian Geographical Name Committee decided to
ignore the poll and name the bridge 'Megyeri' on grounds of it
connecting the Káposztásmegyer and Békásmegyer districts.
